Infamous leaders killed
President Obama spoke to the nation late Sunday evening, May 1, to report that Osama Bin Laden had been found and killed by American special forces in Pakistan. Our daughter Eliza shared with us this interesting item in the New York Daily News about a similar announcement from 65 years earlier
"Osama Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler share a towering reputation for evil—and also an anniversary. Both were declared dead on May 1. Late on May 1, 1945—about as late as President Obama's TV announcement Sunday—German radio announced that Hitler had fallen 'fighting to the last breath against Bolshevism and for Germany.' He had actually committed suicide the day before."
Temple rededicated
The Atlanta Georgia Temple, originally dedicated 28 years ago, has been closed for the past nearly two years for extensive remodeling and updating. This past Sunday, May 1, it was rededicated in two sessions by President Thomas S. Monson. Paul and Eliza Challis from our family attended a broadcast of the dedicatory service in their chapel in Atlanta Sunday morning.
