We are excited to discuss Kirtland with Karl Ricks Anderson, nicknamed Mr. Kirtland for his expertise in this area. He is the author of “The Savior in Kirtland”, "Joseph Smith’s Kirtland”, and “Teachings and Commentaries in the Doctrine & Covenants”. Karl was actively in the restoration of Historic Kirtland. He lives in northern Ohio, where for more than twenty-five years he has coordinated and taught in the institute and seminary programs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Now serving in the Church as a patriarch, he was previously a stake president and regional representative of the Twelve. He and his wife, Joyce Hirschi Anderson, are the parents of seven children and grandparents of twenty-eight.
