This is Kip Thompson. The second bishop of the Arlington Ward. He's a legend! I looked up today during Sunday School and saw him upstairs through a window. I excused myself from the class and went to find him. He lives in Texas and travels ALL over the world for his job. Whenever I see him my favorite thing to ask him is "Where have you been lately?" And I hear something like this: I was in India for 3 days and then went to China for 18 hours. Then I went to Brazil for 2 days, Argentina for a day and then spent a day in Washington, DC. He's a high-powered guy at a big computer company. I was the president of the Young Women when he was bishop and have a lot of fun memories (and funny stories). He and his family made huge contributions to the church here and they are still missed. Kip is a great guy and it made my day to see him!

I remember the youth trip that we had with the "Perfect Brightness of Hope" theme when Kip was bishop and you were YW Pres. That was a dynamo team!
