John B. Dickson

John Baird Dickson (born July 12, 1943) has been a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) since 1992.

Dickson was called to the Second Quorum of the Seventy in June 1992 after having served as a stake president in Mt. Vernon, Washington for 8 years. Prior to that he served as the first president of the Mexico City North Mission of the LDS Church in 1978. In April 1995, Dickson became a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy.

As a young man, Dickson served an LDS Church mission in Mexico in 1962. Before he departed he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right arm. He was not expected to live more than a month. However, 10 months later he left to serve his assigned mission having had his arm amputated.

In 1966, Dickson married Delores Jones. Two years later he graduated from Brigham Young University and joined the family sawmill business in Washington.

He and his wife have eight children, one boy and seven girls.
