| Description |
Bonnie Nelson, grandniece of David O. McKay, shares stories and memories of her "Papa Dade," including details about a saddle gifted to him for his 50th wedding anniversary and his continued horseback riding into his late 80s. She describes the historic McKay family home in Huntsville, Utah, which served as a gathering place, and recounts anecdotes about David O. McKay's mischievous youth and his musical talents. Nelson also discusses her own family's connection to the area, her father's love for horses and his own antique saddle, and the annual Christmas Eve traditions at the Hotel Utah and McKay's South Temple home, emphasizing the family's strong musical background and the joy of their large family gatherings. |
