Did anyone think of Paul H. Dunn after TSM told the story of the German woman digging graves in frozen ground for her children with a teaspoon (then her fingers after the spoon was gone)?

It seems TripletDaddy's prediction in that thread is definitely not coming to pass where he said:

My initial impression was that the story has been embellished at some point along the way.

My initial impression was "What the hell is wrong with this woman's life choices that she's wandering around in the winter with a bunch of kids and a teaspoon?" Of course, I wasn't listening when he said what was going on that lead to the insanity. I hope she had a good reason. God doesn't want us to be idiots.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostComment

My initial impression was to shut the tv off. If people can't make a point without talking about dying children, then I usually don't want to hear them speak. Then I got over it because I love TSM.Originally posted by Donuthole View Postsigpic

I had the same impression from a Monson talk from a recent conference. He made some claim that seemed entirely unbelievable, but it was only a minor aside in his story, so wasn't important enough for me to write SLC and ask for clarification.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostFitter.

She was expelled, along with most other Germans, from her home in East Prussia after WWII. East Prussia was then divided between the Soviet Union and Poland.Originally posted by KillerDog View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
