Great to read your summary history of the LDS Church on the Isle of Man and reconnect with some names I came to know. I served on the island for six months in 1977-78 as part of the Manchester Mission. My district leader was Paul Cannon of Salt Lake City (a George Cannon decedent). There were four Elders on the Island at that time, Paul Cannon, Ralph Oglvie and Michael Sneed and myself. An older couple from Arizona, the Holmes were just leaving when we all arrived. The Island had recently been assigned to the new Manchester Mission. It have fond memories of the island and the ward. But no mention of the "Curse of the Mormons" and John Taylor's rather unpleasant reception in Castleton?
