   On December 7th,the LDS Church ended my lifelong status of   
   being younger than all of their Apostles,ordaining Patrick   
   Kearon,born July 1961 while I was born the February before,   
   and thus superseding Ulisses Soares,born October 1958 and   
   the oldest-ever youngest Apostle,as the youngest.   
      
   I am thus still younger than 14 of the 15.   
      
   Elder Kearon replaced M. Russell Ballard,whose death I   
   previously noted here,who had been second-oldest behind,   
   and second in succession to,Church President Russell M.   
   Nelson (born September 9th 1924).   
   Dallin H. Oaks (born August 12th 1932) remains first in   
   succession and became second in age,and Jeffrey R. Holland   
   (born December 3rd 1940) became second in succession(he   
   is sixth in age).   
      
   If you want to know where your age slots in compared to   
   the Apostles,here's a list of their birthdates followed   
   by the seniority-based position of that elder in succession.
