Years ago I attended a wedding of a niece in the SL Temple. Arthur Haycock was a cousin to the brides father and conducted the wedding. He shared a few experiences he had as secretary to the prophets. He accompanied President Kimball to a conference in South Central Utah. There were no hotels so he stayed in a very nice home with a member family. He was escorted to a nice private bedroom where he prepared himself for the evening. The bed was a large four poster bed and was quite high. He being a short person could not climb onto the bed, so he took a running leap, landing on the bed, and at that moment it came crashing down. The host called asking if he was OK, and he replied that everything was fine. Then he spent the evening putting the bed back together. Brother Haycock did not report whether or not he slept in the bed or on the floor.
