First in his medical school class in 1947,he was a heart

church in 1984 and proceeded to outlive anyone who had
done so before him,becoming President of the Quorum of
the Twelve Apostles (heir apparent) in 2015 and President
of the Church in 2018.(He was the second,and his assured

to the top job at age 93,and was the first to serve past
age 100).

the 57 children of his 10 children (9 daughters,2 now

own,the first of whom fathered Nelson's first great-
great-grandson in 2020.
