Was that in 2009? If it was, I happen to know that he was busy:
Robert Millet Chosen as Next Apostle [LDS/Mormon OPEN thread]
Yes.
Yes it was.
The people who showed up for the event - maybe about 5 MORMON folks and about the same number of non-Mormons; didn't find out he was 'busy' until about two hours after the start time.
Someone was passing by the meeting room and said, "Oh. he won't be able to make it tonight."
(We'd already kinda figgered that out and had a bit of discussing done already.)
It well fairly well, as we tend to be a bit more cordial face-to-face with other humans. ;^)
The young MORMONs were Stepford like when they got presented with LDS history and quotes; while the older one (2?) got to do most of the speaking, staying AWAY from themes MORMON and speaking Christian words and phrases.
The only person fooled by this was my wife; who I had drug halfway across Indiana with me that evening.
(She teaches small kids at our church and really doesn't get very deep into theology - if you know what I mean.)

Multiple sources from within the COB have confirmed that Robert L. Millet has been chosen by President Monson to fill the recent vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve.
Uh... looks like he did NOT make the cut!
