If we have it at conference time, it would be April '10, if not, summer '10.

20 year (more or less) Reunion - Ok everyone - I am willing to start the reunion organizing. Many of you are Anderson, but alot of us are Brinley too. Maybe we can combine? Here is another question - We will do an informal poll: Do you want to have the reunion at conference time, or plan it for the summer when more people may be able to come? Everyone give some feedback!

Hey! Has everyone seen Pres. and Sis Hanks in the May 2009 Ensign on Pg 77! It's a great picture and the perfect talk for them to be in.

Ok everyone that served under either Pres. Brinley his last 6 months as Mission President and Pres. Anderson, we crazy Polynesian TDM'ers from 1989-1992 (Elder Leilua, myself and Sis Tafili) want to have a mission reunion because we have not seen you crazy people since our mission days. (Did that sentence even make sense?) Guess getting nostalgic in my old age. Well, trying to get something together and will let y'all know when and where. And yes I still say y'all 18 years later. Send me an email if y'all get a chance or just reply to this message if you have current contact information for any former TDM'ers from 1989-1992 that have not registered on this website.

During a recent visit with the current mission president at a stake conference, President Smith indicated he has been trying to find the sheet music for the Texas Dallas Mission song. (Apparently this has fallen through the cracks over the years but he would like to get that tradition going again.) A few of us have searched and come up with the words - but as of yet no one has found any sheet music.
Is there anyone that still has the sheet music? I believe the sheet music would have been included in each missionary's mission binder provided by the mission president on their first day in Texas. If you kept that binder and all of its contents, then you probably have the sheet music. If so, could you scan it and send the pdf version to me as well as to Bill Marble. Bill said he could post it on this website for future reference.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hello all, I am looking for a former companion, Hermana Cushman. I trained her in Garland. I understand she lives in Texas with her Husband and family, but I can't seem to find her. If you know where she is, tell her I'd like to say "hi."
|

Does anyone have a map of the whole mission? My son will be serving there in 12 days. I'd like to see what the boundaries of the TDM are.
Thanks!

Anyone have the music from the Joseph Smith Oratorio? It was a small musical performed every fast sunday at the mission president's home.
I'd love to get a copy of the music.

Does anyone know the whereabouts or how to contact Sister Jennifer Funderburke aka Sr. Fun) she was my trainer and served in Longview (1988-1989) I remember she was from Monroe North Carolina

This was truly a memory making conference! I did remember a vidoe camera in the back of the meeting hall. this vide is on my shopping list for this week!

I have the DVD from the Skousen website. Not only is it a great blast from the past for the missionaries that were there, but they have added lots of pictures from Cleon Skousens mission also. I knew that they had recorded audio, but I hadn't known they had video recorded it also.
|
| |
|
I believe that President Mathaney's first name is Oriville.. FYI here is a great link for all of you TDM'ers that were at the "mission conference" in December 18 1980 where Cleon Skousen spoke. If your cassette tape was lost, or mispalced you can get a cd, video or another cassette of that great event! http://www.skousen2000.com/religious%20products/Atonement.htm Very Cool blast into the past!

His first name is Rigoberto.
|
| |
|
As I recall, I think it's something like "Lino" Torres, although it could be short for something.
|
| |
|
Does anyone remember the full name of President Torres, who serves as a counselor to President Hanks and Morgan? I believe his name is Alberto Torres, but can't recall with surety.

President Fisher is having a reunion. If I would have known that it wasn't posted on the site I would have done it earlier. The following is a message I received from President Fisher:
Dear Elders and Sisters,
We will be holding a Texas Dallas Mission reunion on Friday March 30th, 2007 at our home in Salt Lake beginning at 7:00 pm. The address is 6784 Vista Grande Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah.. Our home phone number is (801) 942-1040.
We look forward to seeing you all again. Dress is (nice) casual. Pot luck if you would like to bring something.
love,
President and Sister Fisher
directions: 6784 is South and Vista Grande is approx. 3200 East. You enter the Old Mill Estates from a part of Big Cottonwood Canyon Road that runs from 3000 East to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon at 7200 South.

Hi All!
Would you please RSVP to me by Monday the 26th if you are planning on coming to the Reunion at my house.

i was just wondering if there was going to be a reunion for missionaries who served under president anderson
|

President Kerr has supplied an email if you wish to contact him. It should be posted on his contact information soon.
He and Sister Kerr are also hoping to put together a mission reunion in the next year or so. They would welcome any help or suggestions.
Also, Thanks to Matt for 13 years of selfless service on the old site. We all owe you. Thanks as well to Bill for putting this new site together and helping all of us remember.
|

I am very happy to say that I have hung up my spurs on the TDM Website. Bill, you have done a wonderful job. I am glad that you contacted me to take it over. My current bandwidth just didn't allow me to put the time needed to it. Hope everyone has enjoyed the old site and will enjoy even more the new one.
Hats off to you Bill and Good Luck.
