a bomb in his car detonated across the street from the Deseret Gym - now the Conference Center.

I particularly remember that day because I had come home for a funeral of a family friend. I happened to be in the branch of a Citibank (no longer in SLC) on the corner of South Temple and Main Street when the bomb went off. It really scared a number of people in the bank and understandably so. However, it didn't even phase me, as I had served a mission in Sicily and had been home less than 6 months at the time. A bomb going off wasn't an every day thing in Sicily, but I had been around enough of it while on the mission to not be affected by it.
