Fred M. is most often associated with the briefly held church policy known as Supreme Directional Control, but there’s more to Fred than a single policy.  In her recent lecture for the Historic Sites Foundation, Christin Mackay takes a look at Fred’s more personal side by sharing stories and anecdotes from his family’s time in Salt Lake City.  Join host Karin Peter and guest Christin Mackay as they journey along with the Smiths to early 1900s Utah, and get to know another side of Fred M.
