Brenton Gayle Yorgason

I met Brother Yorgason only once. He had just published his book, "From First Date To Chosen Mate" when I was an impressionable 17 year old. Perfect timing! He was giving a talk at BYU and his words were laced with humour and devotion.

This week I picked up (again) a book co-authored by Brenton and Margaret. I took classes from Bro Yorgason more than twenty years ago at the BYU Extension in Millcreek, and he left a lasting impression on me.
