Not an apostle but I met Eldon Tanner (councillor in the first presidency back in the early 70's) at my Aunt's funeral. He was her brother in law. He was a geezer then but there was lots of hero worship going on as most there didn't know him personally. My Dad did from Tanner's years in southern Alberta. Dad didn't idolize him, but he didn't idolize anyone.

PS: didn't meet them but saw Monson at a youth conference in Edmonton in the 60's just after he ascended to the 12...and Kimball around the same time when he spoke at stake conference. Also Wm. (Bill) Walker first quorum of the seventy is from Raymond, AB. Knew him a but at Ricks in '66-'67 and my Dad grew up with his father, a family doctor. This was after cancer took his vocal cords...unforgettable voice.
