A Night With Chris Stewart

Chris Stewart came to our ward for a special Relief Society night. What a special treat that was. I used to work for Chris' company (Shipley Group) quite a few years ago. We have stayed friends and he was very gracious to give us some of his time. Who is he ... if you don't already know? [see below]
