Vivien Jordan returned home to Florida on Monday after realizing a dream to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City.

"I was given a copy of the concert I attended," said Jordan, 95, of Ormond Beach, Fla. "I will treasure it forever."

Three months ago, Jordan had little hope that her big dream would ever materialize; yet, small turning points made it happen. While being interviewed for a feature story in a local newspaper, a reporter asked Jordan, 'What have you always wanted to do that you haven't accomplished?'

Angela Waggoner, a 37-year-old resident of Daytona Beach, Fla., read Jordan's response and took out a loan to finance a weekend trip to Utah for the unsuspecting stranger.
