I am a Mormon. Dad was and I was raised in that religion and during the '30s and '40s, I strayed and got into others things. I drank, I smoked, and did things totally opposite, not even thinking of what I had known during childhood. I remember in 1958, two elders came to my door and I began to think about my upbringing and what I learned and than I started to meditate on that and I found solace once again and realized what I had been neglecting, if not forgetting, all those years when I was out of circulation. I returned to my Mormon roots around Christmastime that year and became very active in the church again. I'm glad those young man dropped in and reminded me about what I'd been missing because if not I would've missed out on what the true "big picture" is. (Note the quote about being a Mormon is not sourced and is disputed: “Deleted quote about Virginia Grey being a member of the LDS church. I am her biographer and have spoken to members of her immediate family. They don't know why that quote was attributed to her. She was a lifelong devout Catholic.” See, main article history.)
