| Gustav Andreen, PhD Yale, Head of Scandinavian Languages at Yale, took on the role of helping Augustana College in Rock Island become established. Since some leaders wanted Andreen ordained, he took all the courses of the seminary and was ordained. The future Mrs. Jackson lived in Andreen Dormitory. |
 |
| Andreen's daughter, Esther Albrecht, was my mother's good friend and supervised student teaching at Augustana, including Christina and Maria Ellenberger. Esther asked, "Are you going to teach, Greg?" I said, "Never!" |
 |
| Esther Albrecht wrote the historical novel pictured above, and I have a signed copy. I just began reading it yesterday, thinking a Deere friend might be interested. She lived 1896 to 2001. She was born in New Haven, at Yale, like our son. |
Eric Norelius studied at the current Trinity Seminary ELCA, in Columbus, Ohio. His education profoundly inspired Augustana College and Seminary - and the Augustana Synod.
Ichabod readers will recognize the Columbus Seminary as the home of Loy, Leupold, and Lenski - all teachers of inerrancy - unlike the frauds of WELS, ELS, LCMS, and CLC (sic) today.
