Dear Members of the Class of 1970 Summer, 2019 I Hope That All of You Are Doing Well and Enjoying the Days of Summer! Pat T Dear Members of the Class of 1970 Summer, 2019 I hope that all of you are doing well and enjoying the days of summer! Pat Torgeson (’71) and I are doing fine. We had a hard winter, weather-wise, and a cold/rainy spring, but, now that it is summer, we are enjoying warmer and sunnier weather. During the past few months, Pat’s and my main project has been down-sizing and moving from Fargo to West Fargo. It has taken a lot of time and effort, but we are glad that we did it! We have been busy, but have found time to also get together with family and friends. Pat’s Mom died in November, and that has been another big change for us. I want to thank everyone who sent an “update” to me. Information about the lives of classmates adds so much to this annual letter! Thank you again!! There were more “updates” sent this year than ever before. The following information is what I received: …..Ted Albers lives with his wife, Cathy, in Appleton, MN. Ted directs Chord-Ayres which is a men’s chorus. The Chorus will be performing its 50th year anniversary concert, this year, and the concert will be recorded and aired on Pioneer Public Television as a featured show. Chord- Ayres is also a member of the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame and performs for many events throughout the year. …..Craig Amundson lives with his wife, Deborah, in Hermantown, MN. When Craig sent an update in early May, he had just returned from Florida in time to enjoy a 9 inch snowfall….. Craig said that he occasionally connects with Concordia friends (ie: Everett Hall, Warren (Yogi) True, and Jon Pederson (71) with whom he reconnected through Boy Scouts). …..Avis Anderson lives in Glendive, MT. She came out of retirement, this past year, to serve as an interim pastor at the church from which she retired. She also reads, knits, and writes an occasional column for the local newspaper. She said that she has been downsizing her “stuff” and that that has been liberating! …..Renee (Saethre) Anderson lives with her husband, David, in Pequot Lakes, MN. Renee teaches piano; plays the organ/piano at church; plays for musicals, sing-a-longs, and Memorial/ Veterans Day programs; and also chairs a piano festival each year which involves 150 students, 12 teachers, and 4 judges. Last year, the community surprised Renee by awarding her “Citizen of the Year.” She said she merely enjoys what she does and loves her students and the community. She and David are planning a big family reunion, this summer, at the Anderson Barn Event Center. They are expecting all of Renee’s brothers and sisters and their families (some are Cobbers), along with her and David’s 4 children (all are Cobbers) and their families, to be there. Renee and David also travel to MT, KY, PA, and NE to see their children and families and have also met their sons to visit AK and Norway. In her update, Renee included the following note: “Hey fellow classmates! What does it feel like to be 70?”….. …..Caren (Holm) Martin-Burleigh lives in Santa Fe, NM, with her husband of three years, James Burleigh. After the death of Caren’s husband of 38 years, Peter Martin, Caren again taught at Country Day School in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and at Bashay Village near Kartu in northern Tanzania. Upon moving to NM, where her oldest son and wife, Emily, live, she taught a year in Trang, Thailand, under Global Mission (ELCA), with other volunteer teachers of English, in a program of the Church of Christ. Upon returning to NM in 2013, she continued to do volunteer teaching and had the joy of spending time with a grandson who is now 4 years old. Jim and Caren do some work in a village in the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco, at a Learning Center in Igombe, Uganda, and in Tanzania. Most of the year, however, they live outside of Santa Fe and enjoy hiking, biking, camping, reading, music, Lutheran Church of the Servant, and sons and grandson. Caren also enjoys playing her flute. Caren wrote: “I plan on attending our 50th in 2020 and continue to sing and play my flute! I certainly treasure those Cobber years!” …..Roberta (Anderson) Dale lives with her husband, Luther (69), in Shoreview, MN. Each summer, for the last 10 years, Berta and Luther have traveled to the Sun Valley, Idaho area to spend time with their son and family who hike, bike, swim, and camp all around the region. Berta and Luther also enjoy biking on the many wonderful trails in the Valley and camping. One of their favorite spots to camp is the magnificent Red Fish Lake Resort area. This year, Berta and Luther will be pulling an Aliner pop-up camper and will be heading to Banff after their time in Idaho. …..Steve Dove lives with his wife, Marianne (Nystuen) (’81), in Pepin, WI. After Steve retired as athletic director for Edina High School, he and Marianne decided to leave their Burnsville, MN home of 35 years, and move to their lake home in the quiet small river town of Pepin (1/2 hour south of Red Wing, MN). Their two youngest children had worked summer jobs at a large waterfront restaurant, in Pepin, called the Pickle Factory. When the owner decided to retire and move to Arizona, Steve and Marianne decided that they had one more venture in them and purchased the restaurant. Steve said that it has been a “fun ride” for 6 years. The restaurant is open all summer and only on weekends in the winter. A manager oversees the business while Steve and Marianne go to Ft. Myers, FL, for a couple months in the winter. Their son is an F16 pilot in the Air Force and is being deployed to South Korea in June; their youngest daughter will get her RN degree at La Crosse, WI, in December; their second oldest daughter works for Optum in the Twin Cities and has 4 children; and their oldest daughter lives in Buffalo, NY, with 3 children and her husband who coaches football at the University at Buffalo. Steve commented, “Looking forward to our 50th Reunion in another year!” …..John and Mary (Seter) Erickson live in Detroit Lakes, MN. They are both retired and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on August 18, 2018. They have 3 daughters, 9 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. John and Mary wrote: “We are blessed to have our family close and to be able to enjoy their activities, as well as have family dinners and trips together. …..Kay Erickson died in November, 2018. At the time of her death, she was living in Chaska, MN, but had lived several years in Ortonville, MN, and in Moorhead where she was a librarian in the public schools and at Moorhead State University. …..Naomi (Anderson) Farr lives in Greenfield, MN, with her husband. She wrote that she is hoping to reconnect with friends from the Class of 1970 as she has wonderful memories of the College and of the friends she made while there. She left Concordia after her freshman year and went to Gustavus and then to the University of Minnesota to study Interior Design. Naomi now owns senior housing facilities, spends winters in Tucson, AZ, and has 6 children and 10 grandchildren. She also wrote that her 3rd marriage is going on 37 years; she has hunted big game in Africa; she would love to spend most of her time on the back of a horse (she has 2, but once had 120); she considers herself to be a conservative feminist because she thinks that husbands need to be taken care of; and she expects to have “Be reasonable. Do it my way.” on her headstone. …..Tim and Cheryl (Alswager) Fedji live in Rochester, MN. Tim attended the Physical Therapy Program at The Mayo Clinic from 1970-1972. He was then hired by Mayo and worked there for 46 years before retiring in May, 2018. Tim has since been spending a considerable of time updating/remodeling their home, but they hope to travel more in the near future. Tim and Cheryl have 2 children, Leif and Karl, and 2 grandchildren. …..Jim Graham lives in Abingdon, MD. He is retired from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, MD, where he was the Administrator for inpatient/outpatient Addiction Treatment Services and the Center for Addiction and Pregnancy. Jim wrote: “I’m looking forward to the 50th reunion---my first, but also to the 2019 reunion to take part in the alumni choir.” …..Everett Hall lives in Great Falls, MT, with his wife, Carol. He will be on the Concordia campus this June. Ev wrote: “As a Montana resident, I am fairly certain that I may be the only Montana graduate who has been on Concordia’s campus at least once a year for 54 years, beginning in 1966”….. …..George Halvorson lives in Sausalito, CA, with his wife, Loree. He is the Chair and CEO of the Institute for Intergroup Understanding. The Institute works on issues of racism, prejudice, discrimination, misogyny, and intergroup instinct related stress and conflict. It believes that we need to change the patterns of ethnic and racial discrimination that create major economic problems, learning problems, and massive disparities in incarceration rates and unemployment rates in America. George has written 4 books on these topics-Primal Pathways, The Art of InterGroup Peace, Cusp of Chaos, and Peace in Our Time.

Teachers reorganized entire lesson parents’ cars, along with Chromebooks, recognized all these efforts with smiles, plans and shifted to distance learning musical instruments and left-behind virtual high-fives, “thank you” posters, from makeshift office spaces in their medications.

First and foremost, I wish to thank my academic advisor, Dr. Nicola Alexander. In addition, I would like to thank all of the professors from whom I have gained the knowledge and erudition to research and write my thesis. Included among these professors are the members of the University of Minnesota staff who served on my oral preliminary committee, prospectus committee, and oral defense committee. These professors include Dr. Melissa Anderson, Dr. Cryss Brunner, Dr. Richard Krueger, and Dr. Karen Seashore, Without the help of these parties there would have been no way for me to have completed this work. Lastly, I wish to thank my wife and family for their faith in me and the loyalty they provided through the process of completing my doctoral studies. Without their love and support this study would not have been possible nor would the work have been as meaningful.
