1. A former manager of mine, Gregg, told me the “Hole Story,” which was
told to him by his former colleague, Malcolm D. I later met Malcolm and
confirmed the story. The words are mine.
2. A good friend of mine, Robert W., told me this story. He was with a group
of BYU-Idaho students who were visiting with Gordon B. Hinckley, then
the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Just be
nice.” was in response to a question about how to have a happy marriage.
The simplicity of the answer really impressed me.
