Description
Dwight Schwendiman is a retired research chemist and computer specialist who worked for Kodak. He first attended the Hill Cumorah Pageant in 1957 during a family vacation to LDS historic sites in the eastern United States. As a resident in the Rochester area, Dwight saw the Pageant change over time. He helped with logistics such as parking, led cast teams as a cast member in 1988, 1992, 1994, and 1996, and eventually served as Pageant President from 2006 to 2015. During this interview, Dwight also discusses his experiences in these different roles, Zion’s Camp and the Pageant dormitories, and the 2021 Church Internet devotional celebrating the Pageant’s history.
