Not long ago, 9-year-old Ryan was talking with his Primary teacher, Brent Neil, about vacations. Brother Neil asked Ryan about his favorite vacation. Ryan began telling about his family's trip to North Dakota to see the mountain with the four presidents carved on it. Brother Neil asked if Ryan could name the four presidents. Ryan was pretty quick to say, "George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt. . . and . . . and. . . oh, and Thomas S. Monson!" — Kathy Farnes, Pleasant Grove, Utah
