Appendix
Leave the dreaming to the young. The robin bobs for grandpa As well as for a son. There was a lighter side to his compositions. When he opened a new shop in an addition to the house, which was so skillfully built by Lowell Sorenson and his dad, he allowed the kids to borrow the tools but they had to take them back. He edited a quotation from the 4th Chapter of Mosiah, Verse 28, and I think his editings will be obvious to you.

I took his pulse and felt the heartbeat of this great man slow, and then stop. In that quiet moment of intense feeling I realized that he had, at last, obtained his release. A recollection of the words of Dad's blessing from Patriarch John Gleave came to me.
