We open a thread for you to post your personal experiences, feelings, and memories of someone who has been a prominent part of the lives of most of us as long as we can remember, or at least as long as we have been members of the Church.<\/p>\n<p>My own brief contact with President Faust:  In the 1980s, I worked for a man in a small town in central Utah, with whom Pres. Faust had attended law school back in the day. My employer had once been remarkably careless of the feelings of his wife and the respect and protection he owed to her as a husband. He had also long ago left the Church.  His friendship with Pres. Faust had never waivered, though, and periodically, Pres. Faust would call him at the office to check up and see how he was treating his wife.  My employer told me that himself &#8212; otherwise I would have had no way to know what their private conversations concerned &#8212; without any trace of resentment that Pres. Faust presumed to interfere in his private affairs. Pres. Faust must have had that rare touch that let him be direct about unpleasant matters without alienating the one at fault.<\/p>\n<p>Please share your comments about Pres.
