Elder Dunn understandably felt a desire to consult with President Kimball, so I set about to call him. Of course, to get President Kimball on the line directly is not always possible. Nonetheless, I dialed his home phone number and who should answer the phone but President Kimball!

Yes, I too am always amazed when I call someone's number and the person whose number I just dialed answers the phone. It's a miracle!

We had spent three lovely days there, but that Friday night I awakened with a very uneasy feeling, and I said, “Dantzel, I can't stand it here any longer. Let's pack and go home.”

As she looked about our spacious apartment and then looked at me, she said, "You've got to be kidding!"

I said, "No, I just can't stand it here any longer. Let's go home."

Without stopping to call for reservations, we went directly to the airport, caught the next plane for Denver, and again without reservations went to wait for the next plane from Denver to Salt Lake City. We boarded that plane without much waiting and arrived an hour later at the Salt Lake Airport.

As soon as we reached a telephone, I called Mrs. Kemp at my office and said, "Who's looking for me?"

"How did you know?" she said. "Dr. Ernest Wilkinson called just a few minutes ago and said he needed you for Elder Paul H. Dunn. He has admitted Elder Dunn to the coronary care unit at the LDS Hospital, and he wants you to see him right away."

Nelson was at that hotel for a number of days on business - “for surgical meetings”. Is he asking us to believe that his secretary; Didn’t know where he was? Didn’t know the phone number of the hotel to call and let him know someone was looking for him? Didn’t think to call him to let him know someone was looking for him?

I’m guessing the actual story is that Nelson got a message at the hotel, that Dunn had been hospitalised and had asked to consult with Nelson, so they decided to cut short their trip and fly home. The end.
