Excellent article! I don't think I'd ever read it either. One thing I was confused about, though was this statement (not a part of the article itself, but as part of the sidebar about Elder Holland)...
"Holland was ordained an apostle of the church in June of 1994 and became a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles later that year."
That makes no sense to me. Under what circumstances would someone we ordained an apostle and not become a member of the Quorum of the Twelve simultaneously?
Yep!

I am not positive as to the instance of Elder Holland. However, Paul had similar circumstance and I am not positive that Paul was ever made a member of the Twelve.
Did you ever figure out the answer to this question?

Not only did I not figure out the answer to this question, but I can't even remember posting this! I am obviously getting old.
Ha! Well, it was four years ago! Perhaps he couldn't officially become a member of the Quorum until sustained by the general membership??? I know there are times a person is ordained an Elder, goes off in his mission, but isn't sustained until the following Stake Conference. Maybe it's something similar? Pure speculation in my part.
