Board of Trustees, 1953 to 1971. Richard L.Evans was born March 23, 1906, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the youngest of nine children born to John A. Evans and Florence Neslen. His father died when he was 10 weeks old, leaving a widow with nine children to rear. Richard was baptized May 2, 1914 and received the Aaronic Priesthood as a youth. After high school he entered the L.D.S. Univerity and later the University of Utah but left the halls of academia and a generous scholarship when he filled a mission to Great Britain between 1926-1929. During his mission to Great Britain he acted as associate editor of the "Millennial Star" under James E. Talmage and Dr. John A. Widtsoe. He also served as secretary of the European Mission. His distinctive command of the English language, and effective speaking style were honed in countless street meetings and talks given in the rough and tumble of Hyde Park where anyone with a soapbox can speak on any subject of interest but must be prepared for heckling and abuse. After returning home, Richard matriculated at the University of Utah where, in 1931, he received an A.B. degree. Continuing his studies, he was awarded an M.A. degree in 1932 by the same school. During his academic career he married Alice Ruth Thornley who would bear him four children. In addition to his school and family responsibilities, Richard was forced by economic necessity to pursue an avocation. His journalistic experience in editing the Millenial Star stood him in good stead when he secured employment with KSL Radio in Salt Lake City as a staff announcer. As such he was privileged to accompany the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the San Diego Exposition as radio announcer, and also to Winter Quarters in September, 1936, at the dedication of the monument, as radio announcer. He was given the distinction of being the announcer over the radio with the clearest diction. Indeed, he became best known to the world as the voice of The Spoken Word, a part of the weekly Mormon Tabernacle Broadcast. Elder Evans wrote, produced and announced the coast-to-coast radio network program from the Salt Lake Tabernacle from June, 1930 until his death in 1971. He was appointed managing editor of the Improvement Era in April, 1935, and filled that position with a rich background of efficient Church service and wide experience in business, education and editorial fields. He was named a member of the General Board of YMMIA in 1935. He was ordained a Seventy, and sustained as a member of the First Council of Seventy Oct. 7, 1938. Elder Evans was industrious, intelligent and sympathetic, a lover of truth and beauty, and, above all, he understood and practiced the principles of the restored Gospel. He acquired his education by persistent effort of his own, having worked at numerous occupations in order to attain his efficiency. Elder Evans was sustained to the Council of the Twelve and ordained an Apostle on October 8, 1953 by President David O. McKay, succeeding Elder Albert E. Bowen, who had died. He served with honor until his own death November 1, 1971 at Salt Lake City, Utah. In death he was mourned not only by members of the Church but by the millions of non-members who listened regularly to The Spoken Word on their radios.

She received a BYH Art & Manual Training Diploma in 1914. Source 2: Annual Record, B.Y. University, Book 7, page 433. ~ ~ ~ ~ Camilla Eyring was born the oldest of a large family on December 7, 1894, in the LDS colony of Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Her parents were Edward Christian Eyring and Caroline Romney. Camilla came from a family of learners. She said that as a child there were books everywhere in her home. "I’ve always had an enquiring mind," she once stated, and recalled that her mother was much the same and could actually knit stockings while she read a book. At the age of 17 when Mexican revolutionaries threatened many of the Mormon colonists in Colonia Juarez, Camilla was sent to Provo, Utah to live with an uncle. While there, she studied home economics at [BYH and] BYU then taught classes at the Millard Academy in central Utah. It was always her belief that a well-rounded education was a great help for women in caring for and training a family. Later, Camilla joined her family in Arizona where they had moved, taught home economics at Gila Academy and one Sunday attended stake conference where a young, newly returned missionary gave his mission report. That young man was Spencer W. Kimball. They were married later that year on November 16th 1917. Camilla’s love of learning and life continued after she was married and three sons and a daughter joined their home. In fact, she viewed the home as a place of growth and learning, saying, "Anybody who thinks being a wife and mother is a dull occupation doesn’t take the daily challenges seriously. The family is the biggest field for learning there is." Through these years, both Camilla and her husband kept busy with various church callings along with community, school and family activities. Then, in 1943, Brother Kimball was called to be an apostle and the family moved to Utah. Upon learning of this new calling, Camilla reportedly told her husband, "You can do it, Spencer. You can do it." Nearly thirty years later, when he was called to be the president of the church, Camilla’s response was much the same. During all stages of Camilla’s life, she remained engaged in a variety of activities. She was a Relief Society teacher for 20 years, challenging her students to read a designated standard work each year. She loved being a visiting teacher. She also loved being a mother and took pride in being a homemaker, keeping a home which was always modest, spotlessly clean and comfortable. In later years, she made it a point to write each of her four children a letter each Sunday, thus keeping the family ties close. Camilla also continued her pursuit of learning, taking classes at nearby universities, reading and studying on her own and taking every opportunity to expand her knowledge in a variety of subjects. In fact, President Hinckley once said that Sister Kimball was a "shining example of the need to grow constantly, to stretch the mind, to enlarge understanding. . ." This type of devotion to education, home and family prompted the establishment of the Camilla Eyring Kimball Chair of Home and Family life at BYU in 1982. President Kimball’s years as a prophet of God were full of milestones and challenges. He continually challenged church members to "lengthen our stride" and "do it". Missionary work and temple service expanded. The church continued to grow worldwide and an important revelation extending the priesthood to all worthy male members of the church was given. All these events became important to Camilla as well. She understood the pressures and great responsibilities of her husband’s calling and tried to make their home "completely peaceful" for him. She traveled with him, studied with him and when President Kimball was plagued with health problems as he often was, Camilla told people that "when he is well, I’m well." After years of faithful and instrumental service, President Kimball passed away on November 5, 1985. Camilla lived nearly two years longer before following her husband in death on September 20, 1987. Her quest for learning and her love of life never faltered. Her lifelong commitment to excellence remained with her until the end. As she once said, "any woman should be alive to opportunities–alive to public interests, to her family, to growth from church service. Life is so interesting, it worries me that I can’t get it all done. And I have no patience with women whose lives ‘bore’ them." Just as her husband had counseled the church, Camilla Kimball always managed to lengthen her stride and "do it." ~ ~ ~ ~ Camilla Eyring married Spencer W. Kimball on November 16, 1917. Camilla was born December 7, 1894. Camilla died September 20, 1987 at 92 years of age. Her husband, Spencer Woolley Kimball was born March 28, 1895. Spencer died November 5, 1985 at 90 years of age. He served as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Spencer Woolley Kimball and Camilla Eyring had the following children: 1. Spencer Levan Kimball; 2. Olive Beth Kimball; 3. Andrew Eyring Kimball; and 4. Edward Lawrence Kimball.
