Pehrson suffered "di-vine discontent" when he was "working for the other man' He was happily employed by the Riteway Store System, but he was always intrigued with the notion of going into busi-ness for himself.

He has . spent many years working with , young people on three stake high councils of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter-da- iy Saints. His father,' Nels F.
