President Thomas S. Monson has said that he likes the quotation, "New friends are silver, but old friends are gold."
On April 8, he met with one of his golden friends, Thelma Wooley Fetzer, who turned 100 on that day.
President Monson and his wife, Sister Frances Johnson Monson, walked into Thelma Fetzer's living room that afternoon, bringing with them not only smiles and heartfelt birthday wishes but also warm memories gathered during their long friendship that goes back more than 60 years.
