NORMAN, Okla. — Ron Crapo is a man with a lot of baggage.
Literal baggage — suitcases and such.
Except for his own bag, the luggage belongs to the 569 people on the 2009 Mormon Tabernacle Choir's summer tour. It's Crapo's responsibility to see to it that the bags and their owners end up in the same hotel rooms.
