Yes. I agree that it has a certain negative “appearance.” Do we know that Stott did not provide statements as part of the DPS investigation?

Not commenting on the "appearance" of his retirement, but Chief Stott was 70 years of age when he retired in 2018. Given his age, one wonders how "abrupt" his retirement really was?

The article indicates that "singing indoors without masks" is dangerous. Didn't they have their masks on while they sang?

I agree. It also seems to muffle their sibilant consonants; but still very nicely done. Elaine Hagenberg is one of my favorite choral composers these days.

I am moved by President Nelson this morning. Israel: Let God Prevail

We attended the "9 am session" of our Ward Sacrament meeting today as well. The Chapel had been cleaned prior to the service. There were almost 90 in attendance, so very close to the maximum of 99. Every other row was closed to maintain physical distance. Masks were required except for children under the age of two. Family groups sat together with distance between each group in a row -- at least that's what it looked like to me. All were asked to sanitize their hands prior to entering the chapel. The Sacrament was passed directly to us -- people sitting in the congregation did

My heavens! He’s really quite good at it, isn’t he?! I love his advice: Enjoy your life!
