Bruce R. McConkie at a BYU football game.
Either 1978 or 79. Got to sit once in VIP section at Cougar stadium. Within 5 minutes of being there I felt kind of an eerie presence. In the row directly behind me was the most ghoulish looking man I had ever seen. I couldn’t help to continue looking at him until finally my date whispered in my ear to stop staring. She whispered its Elder McConkie. He had the most ghoulish pasty look in his face I’d ever seen.
Crew cut hair and sort of looked like a retired military guy. During the half time break, my date suspected that there was a high probability that Elder McConkie’s Thorazine drip was running a little thin that day. By the beginning of the 4th quarter I remember hearing him mumble something to one of his medical staff that he wanted something. I don’t even remember the game, but I do remember McConkie. Very strange man to say the least.
Anyone else have any memories of the top cult leaders?
