Tradition of the Traveling Tie

Four score and seven years ago, give or take a few scores, John served a mission in the Italy Milan mission. While serving, John bought a tie at an Itallian market. It was one of his favorite ties.

As Caleb prepared to leave on his mission, he and his brothers decided that they wanted to take a tie that would travel with each one of them while they served their missions.  We pulled down a box that held a few of John's ties from his mission, and they chose one and annointed it the "Traveling Tie."

On July 8, 2014, Elder Caleb Aldrich boarded a plane headed to Guatemala City wearing the Traveling Tie.
