As president of the church's Council of the Twelve Apostles, Hunter is next in line to succeed Fra Taft Benson as president of Gordon B. Hinckley, Benson's first counselor in the governing First Presidency. The Mormon Church's order of succession, based on apostolic seniority, is considered doctrine. Hinckley, 82, and the other member of the First Presidency, Thomas S. Monson, 65, have largely run the church's affairs since Benson's health began declining a few years after he became the faith's 3th president in 1985 Suspects cited for hatching seagu egg plot By KEVIN NIENDORF Herald Staff Writer PAYSON Two - and males were cited Thursday face class B misdemeanor charges after being found with 332 seagull eggs with the intent to destroy them.
