I remember the day that Bishop Carroll was notified of his
release. I was sitting outside his office in my capacity of Executive
Secretary, as he was interviewing his daughter, Mandy. When he was done, I went
into his office to see who was next and he had a glazed look on his face. I
asked him what was wrong and he said that the Stake President just called him
to extend his release.
I am now quite familiar with the range of emotions that hit
Bishop Carroll upon learning of his release. It is, as he said, a bitter sweet
experience. But mostly bitter.
