55 years ago today - Wed Jul 1, 1959

[David O. McKay Office Journal] I was greatly surprised to learn through my secretary . . . that Brother Nicholas G. Morgan, Sr., who employed Brother Ortho Fairbanks to do this bust of me, intends to have twelve busts finished in white Italian marble and one placed in each of the Temples of the Church. Of course, I feel very reluctant about this being done, but it seems that I shall have nothing to say about it as Brother Morgan, with the endorsement of President Henry D. Moyle, has already gone ahead with arrangements for this to be done.

    Any church president or church hierarchy of any Christian denomination or sect who refuses to ordain qualified women of wisdom and knowledge as deaconesses per Romans 16:1-4 has a spiritual head of "Italian marble".

    "Marble Head Monson" - I like that! says Tommy with a grin.

    ... or, as it should have been said in that day: "Marble Head McKay!"
