Donor grew up and lived in Harlan, IA until 1964 when he moved to California. In 1972, he returned to the Midwest to attend Dana College in Blair, NE. In 1976, he attended Pacific Theological Society in Berkeley, CA and graduated in 1980. Later that year on October 12, he was ordained into the Lutheran Church. He served as parish pastor for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Morro Bay, CA for several years after his installation. This collection comes from the donor's years at Dana College, particularly Queen Margrethe II's visit to speak at commencement on May 20, 1976. The donor was Senior Class President for the Class of 1976 and was invited to attend the reception with the Queen following commencement. |
