The first time Alan Cherry met a Mormon, it was in an unlikely place. He and another serviceman became acquainted while at a confinement facility on an Air Force base in Texas in 1968.
The young Mormon had been jailed for drunken and disorderly conduct. Cherry, 22, was confined for disobeying a superior officer's orders. Despite their circumstances, the young Latter-day Saint played a supportive role in Cherry's life, aiding him in the quest for truth that had initially landed him in the detention facility.
