A Tribute to the bro-in-law with the same name

Sadly I had little interaction with my oldest brother-in-law over the years. He was thirty years older than I and had cerebral palsy that limited his mobility but not his intellect. You could pick a random date, say June 19th, 1834 and he could tell you the significant things that happened on that date. His body was severely limited but his mind was fully capable if not exceptional. One day while visiting he decided to give me a book. The one who's title page is shown here. It also shows an example of his humor. The caption reads: "to RMS from RPD Dec 15, 1986 - rather late for the birthday and slightly early for Christmas". To perhaps help you get a sense of the man his other brother-in-law was Hugh Nibley and I'm sure they had many interesting conversations together over the years. I would have loved to have listened in on those conversations, that is if I could have followed even a small amount of the conversation.
