In 1908, Eighth grader Alma Richards quits school. He doesn't see the point in going when he could be working as a ranch hand. A chance encounter with a Michigan State Professor sets Alma back on the road to education, which in turn leads him to more than he's ever dreamed of including a trip to the Stockholm Olympics competing in High Jump for a Gold Medal.

As the German military preparations escalated, word came to speedily move those LDS missionaries to safety in adjacent countries.

The harrowing escape of these missionaries from Nazi Germany as World War II started is one of the most remarkable but little-known events in LDS history.
