   Loved the mini-episode. Short and sweet, and I like that you did your homework.

     Thank you! It was my very first attempt at solo recording/editing/uploading and I was incredibly nervous about it. I’d been sort of fretting that it was too frivolous.

   I always thought Parley looked a little bit like Dan Aykroyd, at least in some pictures.

   In my professional opinion, they look like confused dudes with combovers.

   Gotta ask, though, are these guys recognizable to people raised in the church? Are their portraits hung in church foyers or something?

     No, these guys are too minor to get portraits in the foyer. Joseph Smith and maybe other church presidents might get that treatment, but in the last twenty years or so, the church has made a conscious effort to keep artwork in churches Jesus-centric (I guess to counter criticism that they’re “not really Christians”, as if this changed anyone’s opinion), so even they don’t show up there too often anymore. But pictures of the old church leaders are all over lesson manuals and such, so yes, they’re recognizable to a lot of Mormons.

     Besides, I just like posting pictures here.
