Eighty-two years in the school of life have so leavened the character of President David O. McKay as to make it synonymous with everything of good report or praiseworthy. The eloquence of his words is sustained in the becoming dignity of his every act. He asks no man to do that which he does not do himself. He is progressive, forward-looking and indomitable. He stands today on an eminence where all the plateaus of life are easily brought into focus before him. The warmth of his greeting, the depth of his friendship, the smile of his approval, and his handshake are succor to the soul. This biography, lovingly written by one of his children, shares the warmth of memories and delightful experiences with the great man that most church members only know as a prophet of God. Through this book of cherished memories, he will also be seen as a loving husband and father, community member and friend.
