    KSL Newsradio reporter Mary Richards traveled to St Louis, Missouri, to hear stories going back generations, and to tour the Gateway Arch Museum, which tells the story of the westward expansion including the Mormon Trail. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always received welcome, peace and support in St. Louis, even in the early days of the Church in the 1830s. When mobs tossed Church members from their homes in areas like Jackson and Davies counties, St. Louis welcomed the Saints. St. Louis had one of the only stakes outside of Utah in the 1850s. The city was even designated by Brigham Young as the trailhead for the trek west for a time. The St. Louis Stake was reorganized in the 1950s, and Mary Richards interviewed members of the Lochheed and Oscarson families, which have been instrumental in the growth of the Church in the present day. Finally, the St. Louis Temple was dedicated in 1997 after unprecedented community and inter-faith support. Its first president, Menlo Smith, spoke about those blessings.

    Over 82,000 soldiers are still considered missing in action 73 years after the end of World War II. The Department of Defense believes that just under half of those are recoverable.  But there are programs in the defense department dedicated to making sure those soldiers get home -- even all these years later.  KSL Newsradio's Kira Hoffelmeyer tells us more about a program at Brigham Young University that uses genealogy to connect lost soldiers with their families.  Brian Martin, co-host of Utah's Morning News, also speaks with Jill Crandell, a professor at BYU and the director of the school's Family History and Genealogy Center. She tells us more about her center's partnership with the Army. They've been working on 66 cases over the last year, and have successfully filed 55. Most of those have led to the repatriation of these WWII soldiers and returning their remains to the loved ones who lost them.  This segment of Conference Conversations, "Returning Remains: Using Toda's Technology With Yesterday's Heros" is hosted by Brian Martin, co-host Utah's Morning News.
