Political Trivia Answer
Congrats to Ryan Curtis who was first to identify Conrad Harrison as the answer to this question posed by Gordon Jones: “What Salt Lake City mayor once sang in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (now Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square)?”
Harrison, by the way, was Jones’ father-in-law. Con, as his friends called him, was a great guy. I knew him back in the ’70s in Salt Lake City. He was a musician, a journalist, Salt Lake City water commissioner, an elected city commissioner, and was appointed mayor when Jake Garn left for the Senate. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor against Ted Wilson in the next election.
We’ll have a new trivia question on Monday.

Correction: Due to a misreading of a financial disclosure document, a story analyzing Utah State Senate races on Wednesday incorrectly stated that District 6 candidate Erika Larsen and her husband own Gourmandise. We regret the error.
