His legacy will be the Perpetual Education Fund so those who desire an education to help their economic situation can do so, his wonderful, warm sense of humor, the expansion of the church membership by 1/3 under his watch as Prophet, Seer and Revelator, the building program that includes the blessings of eternal covenants made between men, women and a loving, caring Heavenly Father through temples that have been established throughout the world. He will be known for his perennial optimism.
His testimony of the living Messiah that is the head of the Kingdom of God on earth with modern day Prophets, Apostles and the established organization that the Saviour established anciently will also be remembered.

I made a conscious effort to not publish a PDFed version of the magazine using Adobe Acrobat Professional until Adobe fixes it so we can “Print to PDF” under Leopard. Using cups-pdf, Preview does not see the URL links properly and the graphics are not coming up properly as they do as Adobe PDFs do.
We do have InDesign CS3, but why should we be forced to use that as an option when we are not printing to hard copy as a publication, instead of having the ability to “Print to PDF” as we once did under Tiger?
