President McKay was the most widely traveled President, covering approximately one-million miles and has the record for the longest service as a General Authority, sixty-two years.
Two years before his death, President McKay was asked to describe his greatest accomplishment and his greatest experience. He said: "Making the Church a world-wide organization," and "the feeling of such peace and satisfaction and love for all God's children, which comes late in life after more than 80 years of work in the Church and travels among people of all lands. My one greatest desire . . . is that they may have peace and happiness in this world and the world to come."
