[Leonard Arrington]
.... Gary thinks officers of the Church, particularly General Authorities, need to know something about the history of the position of the patriarch and his activities and functions. Gary several times has emphasized that he has absolutely no interest in having the position of patriarch or succeeding his father. He knows he never will. He has had a divorce, for one thing. But his interest is on the same order, I suppose, as that of a son or daughter who wants to see his/her father's history written.
Received a telephone call this afternoon from John Ullman, a member of the Church in Southern California who talked with me after my address at USC in April. He wants me to send him a copy of the study we do on Adam- God doctrine when it is made available. He is worried about it because of a pamphlet distributed during the LA area conference on Adam-God which quotes from my Charles C. Rich book and from Elder [Mark E.] Petersen's book on Adam-God.70 Brother Ullman's address is 4505 Temple City Boulevard, Temple City, CA, 91780.
