MormonTimes.com: 95-year-old woman realizes dream, sees Mormon Tabernacle Choir live
"I was given a copy of the concert I attended," said Jordan, 95, of Ormond Beach, Fla. "I will treasure it forever."

Angela Waggoner, a 37-year-old resident of Daytona Beach, Fla., read Jordan's response and took out a loan to finance a weekend trip to Utah for the unsuspecting stranger.
