A   Walking out of an elevator in the lobby of the Hotel Utah

While attending the October general conference in 1950, Brother Stapley stepped out of an elevator in the lobby of Hotel Utah and met President George Albert Smith, who said, “you are just the man I’m looking for.” Without even retiring to the privacy of an office, the prophet called him to be an apostle.
