(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) George Garwood of South Ogden joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at age 15 in 1972. It was not until 1978 that the church lifted its ban on anyone with black ancestry from being ordained to the priesthood. Having moved from St. Louis to Tooele, Garwood would be the only one out of nine kids in his family to convert. Now retired, he was a member of the church choir for seven years and the mayor of South Ogden, a City Council member and a member of the Olympic committee that brought the Winter Games to Utah.
