alone for about 45 minutes. During that time, Brother Taggart said he was taught the gospel. Many of his questions about organization, use ofthe high council, and working with bishops were answered. At the end of the session, Elder Richards asked Brother Taggart if there were any other questions he would like to ask him. President Taggart states he thought a moment and then asked what it was like in the hereafter. Elder Richards replied, "I have only one worry about dying. I'm afraid I might not be able to find my wife."6 Robert W. Poll had been released as bishop ofthe Mountain Green Ward eight months earlier. During his time as bishop, President Little had told him on occasion, "Nowprepare yourself, brother, because sometime you will be president of this stake,"7 But Bishop Poll had just laughed and dismissed the thought from his mind. He was at work in Salt Lake City on the afternoon of 7 March when he received a call from President Little about 3:00 p.m. President Little said, "Bishop, I need a favor. LeGrand Richards is here and wants to talk to you." As he drove north from Salt Lake, Bishop Poll recalls, "There was a BYU basketball game on the radio; but I didn't hear a word of it." He arrived in Morgan at 3:55 p.m. and was ushered into the interview room. This was the first time that Bishop Poll was aware that a division of the stake was to happen. Elder Richards said that he had a priesthtxxi leadership meeting to attend in five minutes. He spoke to Bishop Poll for about three minutes and asked three questions. In the middle of the third question, Elder Richards looked at Brother Tanner and asked if he felt ready to issue the call. Again, Brother Tanner deferred and Elder Richards, on behalf of the Savior, called Robert W. Poll to serve as president ofthe Morgan North Stake. As the call was issued, President Poll says he experienced an immediate peace of mind- He was asked to select his counselors and high council, and be back at the stake center early Sunday morning. During the night the assurance came that the two counselors were to be Calvin Stephens and William Weaver. An hour and a half prior to the Sunday morning session of stake conference calls were extended to Calvin Stephens and William Weaver to serve as counselors in the Morgan North Stake Presidency. The new stake presidency was then told by the Regional Representative to decide on at least seven high councilors (majority necessary to function), a stake clerk, and an executive secretary before the conference session started. The assignment was completed and the brethren called just minutes before the general session of conference commenced.8 Back row, left to right: Loel Mecham, Assistant Clerk: John Lofgren, Executive Secretary; Jimtnie Merrill, Stake Clerk.
