In 1972, Elder Paul Dunn visited. He came at a time when President Little's daughter-in-law, Melody, was in the hospital having a problem with a difficult birth. Elder Dunn was very concerned. On that Saturday afternoon, they held interviews until 10:30 p.m. When they were finished, he said to President Little, "Do you want me to go with you to the hospital?" President Little didn't think he needed to go, but his concern was touching. Sister Little was always careful to ensure that she had fresh bread baking when General Authorities came. As Elder Dunn came in, he smelled the bread and sat in a chair, took off his shoes and just thoroughly enjoyed himself. President Little had a shower with a pulsating head. Elder Dunn asked very kindly, "President, do you think it would be all right for me to use that?" Before retiring he said, "Now President Little, if you have to go to the hospital, just go. I can get my breakfast and take care ofthe conference." Later, he sent a very special letter to President Little's daughter. "From the beginning to the end, he exhibited this same extreme thoughtfulness," said President Little. President Wilson recalls how Elder Dunn told stories to the youth. Elder Dunn, himself, told a story of a time when he had been at a meeting filled with other General Authorities who had all given very somber speeches.
