[Genealib] FYI - LDS Church President has died

[Tom Kemp]

   FYI - the president of the LDS Church, Gordon B. Hinckley, died tonight -
he was 97 years old and served as church president since 1995 - and was very
active in the acceleration of the genealogy work. The pace of genealogy will
not change - but will continue on schedule.

President Hinckley was a dynamic church president - with a personal touch
that made him a favorite of young and old - like family. This was the time
that the FHL developed and went live with the now familiar
familysearch.orgsite - the church itself grew from 9 Million to over
13 Million members over
the past 12 years he was president.
