The Peals are from Arlington, Texas. He's been a stake president and a sealer. He was in charge of several YMCA's in their area. He was a convert so didn't serve a mission as a youth but they served a proselyting mission in Oakland. They have 3 kids, all married.
The Winegars are from Huntsville, Utah and live on a ranch with cattle and horses and chickens. They've just been married 6 years and have 6 kids between them. He owned a grocery store chain from Centerville to Bountiful. I gather they're wealthy. They have the distinction of being the youngest couple here. He's 56 and retired early. She is glamorous.
A big difference from Portland is that there we'd never see each other all day. Here we're together a lot! If I have an assignment in the Celestial Room, so does Eldon. If he's on the recommend desk, I'm at a station behind him. We do sealing and endowment sessions together. Yesterday we did a sealing session with the 3 couples in our building, Brother Peal doing the sealing. He stopped in the middle, got emotional, and said he felt that our serving in Nauvoo was evidence of God's love for us. Which is true.
