http://www.thomassmonson.org/He enlisted in the United States Navy near the end of World War II, at the age of 18, and served his hitch as a sailor.
At age 22, after his marriage to Frances Beverly Johnson, President Monson was called to serve as the bishop of the Sixth-Seventh Ward in Salt Lake City. Eighty-five widows lived in the ward, and as a young bishop he visited each one regularly, making sure their spiritual and temporal needs were met.

So here is a 22 year old guy, 4 years after the end of WWII visiting widows. How many of these were war widows? If they were war widows, why is a 22 year old male looking after them when they would be in their late 20s to early 30s?
And, why his obsessive recollection of them giving him their yummy "pies" to eat? Were they really that good, or was eating them exciting and ultimately gratifying?
