I think that Reid is a Birth Mormon.

Nope, Reid's a Mormon convert who the Lds church has welcomed with such open arms that they readily made him into an elders quorum president, a high councilor, and Sunday School superintendent!

Reid, who has served as an elders quorum president, high councilor and Sunday school superintendent, converted to Mormonism while attending Utah State University in 1960. He subsequently converted his wife Landra from Judaism to the Mormon faith and has raised his family in the church.

I misspoke, it seems. I kind of thought that he descended from the early expamtion of settlement into Eastern Nevada. I think that the LDS Church need a little more oversite on the Paths of its members.

Or as my Aunt said about a "Space Shot" Utah Senetor, "I loved him as a Brother but he wore out his welcome."

I wonder how his Jewish wife liked being called a "gentile" by the mormons?
