From Deseret News archives:
Wallace is big fan of Pres. Hinckley
"I send a message of respect, of love, of friendship and admiration. And darn it, get well and back on your feet quick," Wallace told KSL Radio 1160.
Wallace first met President Hinckley, leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, when he interviewed him for a church profile some 10 years ago.
"And sure enough, it was as though we became friends, instant friends, and we have been friends ever since," Wallace said.
After a routine medical screening, church officials said President Hinckley was admitted to LDS Hospital Tuesday afternoon, where he underwent a successful laparoscopic surgery to remove the diseased portion of his intestine.
Before his birthday celebration last summer, he said, "It's work that keeps you alive. . . . The secret at this age is to keep busy. Work, work, work is the best antidote for loneliness, incapacity or any other thing that happens to impede your progress."
