For the love of God what possible reason would JS have for wanting to
transplant his family out of the idyllic environs of Utah or Spokane and

IF he wanted to continue with any organization, Utah could and clearly would
pay him as much as he wanted and deserved?

Better chance of talking MJ into a similar role.

London Bridge anyone?
