    Russell Marion Nelson (Sr.),17th president of The Church
    of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,born September 9th
    1924,died September 27th 2025 according to church sources.
    First in his medical school class in 1947,he was a heart
    surgeon by profession until he became an Apostle of the
    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
    successor Dallin H. Oaks is the third,leader to accede
    to the top job at age 93,and was the first to serve past
    age 100).

    At the time of his 100th birthday,it was reported that
    the 57 children of his 10 children (9 daughters,2 now
    deceased,and a son) had produced 167 children of their
    own,the first of whom fathered Nelson's first great-
    great-grandson in 2020.

    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
