Sisters! I am putting plug in for a great book! I am so anxious to get it but haven't yet, this book is by Gerald Lund who wrote the Work and the Glory series. This book is about the Hole-in-the-Rock expedition which is down in southern Utah. My father who lives in Escalante is very close to the Hole-in-the-Rock. He has done much research on the whole valley and even written a book on the history, so he is a expert on the Hole-in-the-Rock. Gerald Lund came down and stayed with them several times while writing this book and credits my father Jerry C. Roundy in his book! I am a proud daughter that is gloating! KSL came down a few weeks ago to interview my Dad and also Gerald Lund because they are doing a documentary that will be broadcast between conference sessions this coming conference. I wanted to be sure to share that all with you so that you can watch! I am super excited about it! My Dad is also building a big museum there in Escalante all to honor the Hole-in-the-Rock expedition. The church donated the land and he has been given many donations from UDOT and other sources to complete the project. Hopefully groundbreaking will be soon. Just thought I would pass that along!
