I have a close friend whose grandfather was a GA. He used to have an appt near Little America in downtown SLC. He swears that every Sunday afternoon there would be a bunch of GA's over to the appt. drinking Pepsi and watching the NFL. Including an apostle or two from time to time.

I would love for this story to be true. I think something like that would be really healthy for those guys.

just thinking that this might be true makes the GAs so much easier to relate to. without this type of "hoping", most GAs and i have very little in common.

I have nothing in common with any GA except that I may share a common membership or speak a foreign language which they speak or share a common profession. Outside of that, they are aliens to me.

A friend of mine was in the same home ward as President Kimball. He told me that on several occasions, SWK would be asleep during sacrament meeting. If that doesn't say "common folk", I don't know what does.
