I was one of Macalester's first International Relations majors, thanks to Dr. Dodge, Dr. Mitau, and Dean Dupre. After graduation I started work immediately as a military reports analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C. My three years with the Agency coincided with the "Kennedy Years" and I lived just a couple blocks from their pre-White House abode, sharing a house in Georgetown with five other gals. We were caught up in a lot of fun and exciting experiences. I loved my job and D.C. – "Potomac Fever" they call it.
During my senior year at Mac I met Bill Christianson, a first-year student at William Mitchell College of Law, which was on Summit across from St. Thomas back then. We kept the post office in business for three years, and after he graduated he proposed that we marry and settle in his hometown of Red Wing, Minn. That sure beat out the alternative, a posting in Saigon, South Vietnam. Definitely one of my better decisions!
We have been in Red Wing for 47 years and have three daughters, one who graduated from Carleton and two who graduated from Concordia-Moorhead. I am starting Macalester recruitment efforts with my seven-year-old granddaughter now!
I was fortunate to be able to be an at-home mother, so I became a full-time volunteer after the girls started school. I was a founder of a preschool, served on the Red Wing School Board for sixteen years, am still involved with our Southeast Technical College, served as president for our local and state Lawyers' Wives organizations and for the Minnesota Historical Society Women's organization, was a docent at the Governor's Residence (on Summit!), ran a Children and the Law program in Goodhue County for twenty-five years, served on the board of the Sheldon Theatre, and was on countless committees and commissions. I was one of the founders of the Anderson Center at Tower View in Red Wing, Minnesota's largest residential artist retreat. I am very proud of its success. We are celebrating our 15th anniversary this year.
I consider it a great honor to be our 50th Reunion Chairperson and can hardly wait for June and a chance to reminisce with everyone!

I graduated from Macalester with an English major and a speech minor. Of course, like most of the women of my generation, I looked for a job teaching. Hallelujah! I got a job teaching English and speech and directing the senior play in Farmington, Minnesota. I commuted each day from St. Paul because I did not want the watchful eyes of what was then a small town, taking note of my every move. After two years of teaching and learning in Farmington, I accepted a job teaching in Richfield Senior High School. My years teaching in Richfield were years of challenge and professional growth. In all my years in education I have not experienced a more supportive teaching environment. I learned from committed educators, was offered in-service training that added richness to the curriculum we were constantly developing and improving, and matured personally and professionally. It was during this time that I worked on a political campaign. President Kennedy came to the Twin Cities in support of Minnesota candidates. The candidate for whom I was working was one of them. I had stories to tell for days (years) afterward: I rode throughout the Cities in his caravan! Months later, while teaching a junior English class, the principal interrupted to announce that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, Texas!
Instead of telling me that I had plenty of time to get married, my sweet grandmother had begun asking about boyfriends. Did I have any? Who were they? Where did they come from? At the ripe old age of 29 I married a Norwegian fella from North Dakota. We met in the Twin Cities, married and moved to Madison, Wisconsin. Earl sold his boat. We used that money for a honeymoon in Norway. Earl said the good thing about boats was that they didn't talk back (go figure?). And I said that I met more relatives on my honeymoon than any bride should have to. That was the beginning of our 42 years of marriage. We have journeyed together from Madison, Wisconsin, to Edina, Minnesota, from there to Crystal Lake, Illinois and, finally, to Atlanta, Georgia. Earl started out working for Allied Chemical, then Cargill and, after our move to Atlanta, became a partner in a small company called McCullough & Associates. We have two bright and beautiful daughters, Tanya and Mary. They are both married, are small business owners and have children. Tanya and Michael have three children: Ethan, Parker and Katie. Mary and Brian have Henry.
Since our move to Georgia I have worked as a teacher and returned to college to get a theater degree at Agnes Scott College,. (I decided I was old enough to do what I really loved.) I have received awards for my acting. One of the awards was for playing Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I have also worked on independent films and local and regional commercials. In addition, I have become an "activist." I lobby at the Georgia State Legislature, serve as an elder in our church, am a board member of a local theater and an active member of WAND.
For my Act III, I intend to continue to work for issues involving women and children, the arts and education. I hope that my Norwegian and I will travel more, continue to hug those we love fiercely and work toward a world of peace and justice for all God's children. (High ideals but a Macalester education helps you think big, even when you're 70!)
With a great jump start from Macalester, the past 50 years have provided many wonderful experiences. I married Bob Berquist '58 and we have three daughters, five grandchildren and one great-grandson. We are thriving in retirement, and live on a picturesque lake in northwestern Wisconsin.
My careers centered around education for 27 years as a kindergarten teacher and gifted program coordinator. Sideline ventures included being a MFT counselor for the DSS and a workshop presenter. Our passions these days include major gardening (husband says, "NO more gardens!"), hiking, biking, and a five-year-old shepherd for whom we had to learn German in order to communicate.
Working on ou 50-year reunion committee has been serendipitous in that there is great pleasure in getting to know classmates that I did not know well those many years ago. I will always be proud and thankful to be a Macalester grad.
The first highlight after graduation was getting married to Stan Meyer '59 and we are now looking forward to our 50th Anniversary on July 1, 2010. We have two children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and two grandsons (one per family).
Traveling has always been a favorite activity and in recent years Elderhostel has combined the love of travel with wonderful learning experiences. So far, we have been on 17 such adventures from Costa Rica, New Zealand/Australia, Alaska, Hawaii, and across the U.S.
We also enjoy camping — took many trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and later sailing, both on White Bear Lake and Lake Superior's Apostle Islands.
Professionally speaking, I spent one year as an art teacher, then did homebound and substitute teaching while being a mom. Eventually I was employed by First Bank (now U.S. Bank) and retired as a stockbroker with U.S. Bancorp Investments.
After completing my college courses at Macalester in January 1960, I began teaching at Como Park Elementary School in St. Paul. A year later I married Douglas Nelson and the following year our daughter, Debbie, was born. Shortly after her birth we moved to Amarillo, Texas, where Doug practiced dentistry for two years in the Air Force. Near the end of our time there, our son, Scott, was born. We moved from Amarillo to Rochester, Minnesota, where we have lived for the past 45 years. Our third son, Mike, was born in 1969. We now have seven grandchildren, with our eighth due in November.
After my three-year career as a teacher, I became a "stay at home Mom," was active in the Presbyterian Church, became involved with community volunteer work, and found time to play the piano, sing in choral groups, and play tennis.
As a family we traveled through much of the United States. One summer the five of us spent a month in Europe seeing England, Germany, Switzerland, and France. Other times we hiked in the mountains and canoed in the Boundary Waters. After our children left home, Doug and I made trips to Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Puerto Rico, Grand Cayman, St. John, and were part of church work trips in Venezuela and Alaska. Doug was part of a medical team that went to Haiti as well. Our strangest trip was a winter Wolf Trek in Ely, Minnesota.
In April of 2005, our lives changed when Doug fell from a tree and suffered a spinal cord injury. He was in the hospital three months and in therapy for several years after. Doug can no longer drive and needs some daily care which I provide. We have found great pleasure in spending time at our cabin. We've also done some traveling and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
In Anthony Caponi’s art class I met my future husband, Al Taylor. We were married two weeks after my June graduation. Soon after our wedding, we traveled to Israel for a six-month post grad study; en route we stopped in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Cyprus, and Syria. We took part in archeological digs, went on field trips, studied church history from the Middle Eastern vantage point, and learned some basic Hebrew.
Our daughter Katherine was born a year later and was soon joined by her brother David. We soon noticed that David was slow to develop and then learned that he was mentally challenged. Thus began a long series of therapies, special programs, and schools. This was a lifelong challenge and yet a delight in both of our kids.
In 1971 Al accepted a transfer with the Forest Service to Juneau, Ala. where we gradually adjusted to year-round, rainy, chilly weather. The bonuses were exquisite glaciers and alpine forests and meadows. We decided to do foster care for three Thlingit Natives, along with our own two and made the Salvation Army our home church. We traveled widely throughout southeast Alaska, visiting Native villages and driving to the Interior as well. Our Native friendships were precious and added much to our life in Alaska. Two of our foster children are now adults and remain close to us to this day. I completed my Master of Education in Juneau, watching glacial lakes and mountains while listening to lectures.
We returned to Minnesota and were just getting settled when our son David died from a seizure in 1980. We were understandably shocked and devastated, but we recouped; life goes on. Things were going well but then we got another shock; our adopted daughter, one of the three foster children, was killed in a car accident in 1990: again, despair beyond description. Yet with prayer, Scriptures, friends, and time we recovered. God is merciful and in Him all things are possible.
Al retired from the Forest Service in 1992 and a few years later I also retired from teaching kindergarten and special education in Minneapolis. I have loved retirement. We have made many trips to Europe, the Middle East, China, Laos, and Japan, as well as trips to Mexico and Florida. I volunteer frequently in music ministry at Presbyterian Homes and take part in an outreach program for international women, teaching language, crafts, cooking, etc. I’ve found time for mission trips to Guinea and Kenya and am now involved in a ministry to Native Americans in Minneapolis.
Life has been good. We will celebrate our 50th anniversary in June, soon after my Macalester 50th Reunion.
After graduating from Macalester with a BA in international relations, I attended graduate school at the University of Minnesota and worked as a graduate assistant for the Agricultural Extension Service developing a program on local government. During my senior year at Mac, I met my husband Chuck Wally in the furnace room of his fraternity at Hamline (it was a hot romance). We were married in l961 and moved to Wells, Minnesota. I went back to school at Mankato State to get a degree in education and then taught in Albert Lea. We moved to Pine Island in 1965 where I taught English while Chuck taught in Rochester (they didn't hire teaching couples in Rochester in those days). In 1967, we headed to Tripoli, Libya, to teach for the Oil Companies School. After four wonderful years, which included two cholera scares and a revolution, we returned to Rochester in 1971. Ten years later we moved to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where Chuck was employed as the computer facilitator for the ARAMCO(Arab-American Oil Company) schools and I worked in the training department as a project controller for a dental contract ARAMCO had with the University of Kentucky. While there, I earned my master's degree in educational psychology from the University of Oklahoma.
I was very involved in a Toastmaster's Group, which included people from many nations including Saudi men and women. In 1983, I was awarded a trophy for Toastmaster of the Year in Saudi Arabia.
In 1986, we returned to Rochester where both of us finished our teaching careers. We retired in 1997 and purchased a condo in Park City, Utah, where we now spend our winters. Chuck works part-time at Gorgoza Park, a tubing park owned by Park City Mountain (he tells people that he's a hooker and a pusher), and I work for Park City Mountain Reservations. Both of us usher at the Eccles Performing Arts Center and work at the Sundance Film Festival, which is held in Park City in January.
During the summer we live on East Battle Lake near Vining, Minnesota. We traveled extensively throughout the world while living in foreign countries and continue to travel whenever we have the opportunity.
After Macalester I worked four years at the Univ. of Calif., Davis library, two years in social work, and retired after 35 years with the State of California Employment Department (job services and unemployment insurance). During the 1970's I was active in the non-smokers' rights movement, having struggled daily to earn a living and breathe simultaneously.
My main interests are music and mountains. In the 1960's I rock climbed in Yosemite Valley; mountaineering adventures included Mt. Shasta, Mt. Ranier, and the Tetons. Since 1983 I've gone to Glacier National Park almost every July to hike and climb with the Glacier Mountaineering Society. In the winter I downhill ski.
The San Francisco Opera Co. is a major part of my life as a subscriber, donor, volunteer in various capacities, and as a supernumerary; being on stage with world renowned artists and our S.F. Opera chorus is an exhilarating experience. I also attend oodles of theater, concerts, and lectures; I have often wished I'd studied more humanities at Mac.
The week after our graduation ceremonies, I began a nine-month management training program with Northwester Bell Telephone Company. While working as a switchboard operator in Minneapolis, the responses I often got were, "Is this the telephone company?" or "Are you on strike?" No one expected a male voice on the line! As I was installing dial telephones in rural areas around Sauk Center, an entire farm family would often watch me, fascinated by the new equipment. There was always an invitation for sharing some fresh homemade pie or cookies.
My eight years of military service began with six months of active duty training at the Naval Air Station near Memphis, Tennessee. I had the good fortune of having an uncle and two aunts living in a suburb of Memphis. On a rare weekend pass, I was their guest and enjoyed wearing civilian clothes, visiting "Graceland" and eating lots of Southern fried chicken, grits, and black-eyed peas! As a MAD officer on an anti-submarine aircraft, I served as a "weekend warrior" for seven and a half years on two-week "cruises" at N.A.S. in Minnesota, Illinois, California, and Hawaii until December 1968.
In October of 1961, I began a delightful five-year association with the Toni Company in Saint Paul and Chicago. One of the "perks" of my position for several years was chauffeuring "Miss America." I drove each of them in an Oldsmobile convertible (another sponsor of the Miss America Pageant), to their radio and television appointments, gala luncheons, and visits to children's hospitals in the Twin Cities. A promotion to production coordinator sent me to the "Windy City" where I immersed myself in both the new job responsibilities and the cultural and recreational opportunities available in Chicago.
A life-changing event took place in April of 1965 when at a "College Life" meeting at Northwestern University, I invited Christ into my life. In the following months as fellow employees and friends recognized changes in my attitude, I realized God had a new plan and purpose for my future. So after a very emotional company farewell party in June of 1966, I drove down to Memphis to see my relatives and then into San Bernardino, California, where Campus Crusade for Christ had its international headquarters.
After joining the staff at C.C.C., I had the privilege of serving as the administrative assistant to Dr. Bill Bright, the founder and president of the organization. A few of his friends whom I met when they visited him included Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Billy Graham, Cliff Barrows, and many well-known evangelical pastors. In 1968, I became the administrative director for a new ministry called "Athletes In Action." My responsibilities included traveling across the county to colleges and universities and scheduling our basketball team for games and exhibitions. Our team always played UCLA in a pre-season game and I was trilled to watch Coach John Wooden in action. He always took time to greet our coach and me after the game. Two other highlights of the year were attending the Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, and the Summer Olympics in Mexico City to take photos and write stories for our Athletes In Action magazine. In 1970, I visited American and British military bases to set up a schedule for our basketball team, spoke at a staff training conference in Wales, and attend the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I moved to Dallas, Texas, in August of 1970 to assume my position as director of recruiting for Expo '72. Our efforts were successful, over 100,000 students (high school and college), servicemen, athletes, teachers and laymen attended the weeklong conference in June of 1972. It was the largest gathering of Christians in U.S. history and was featured in Life magazine — on its cover!
While living in Dallas I met my future bride, Susan Lincoln, a beautiful dairy farmer's daughter who was a Delta Airline stewardess. We got married in October 1972, at her home church in Centralia, Missouri, and then flew to Puerto Rico for a romantic ten-day honeymoon.
Susan and I moved to San Bernardino in 1974 where we both returned to the classroom at California State College. She earned her B.S. in Early Childhood Development and I completed the courses for a secondary teaching credential. Two years later we left the smog of Southern California and headed to Sacramento, where in successive years at Victory Christian School I was a teacher, principal, and school administrator.
In the decade of 1980-89, life was challenging, fulfilling, exhilarating, and tumultuous. I earned an master's degree in school administration from Biola University, went through a "friendly" divorce, became director of admissions at Judson Baptist College in The Dalles, Oregon, and participated in a mission trip to the former Mayan city of Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico.
The immersion in the Mexican culture rekindled my desire for foreign travel. So, over many of the following 20 summers when I wasn't teaching in the San Juan or Center School Districts, I took a "vacation with a purpose" and taught ESL courses in such fascinating cities as Chendu, China, which Marco Polo visited, and Lipsek, Russia on the historic Don River. Personal adventures included walking on the Great Wall, visiting the Ming tombs, exploring the Forbidden City, hiking around the Red Square in Moscow watching the changing of the Russian guards, and touring the dazzling Winter Palace in St. Petersburg.
As a result of my overseas teaching experiences, I became the alumni director for English Language Institute (ELI). I scheduled and was the facilitator at weekend retreats across America for Christian men and women interested in teaching ESL in China, Mongolia, and Viet Nam. Alumni of ELI, myself included, shared our rich experiences of interacting with Asian students teaching them English, sharing "cultural nights" together, riding bikes to "Peoples Park," and answering their endless questions about our families, homes, food, and life in America.
Here in the States, volunteerism has played a major role through the years. It has included being a junior achievement advisor, Habitat for Humanity crew member, Golden State Museum docent, Sacramento Community theater usher, Loaves and Fishes food server, California Youth Authority counselor, "Clean Our Creeks" crew member, speaker at assisted living centers, men's Bible study leader, and church elder.
I inherited my love of nature and exploration from my father. Hiking and camping in the stately grandeur of our national parks and capturing their images on film is a yearly adventure. He also was my tennis coach in high school and I have enjoyed playing both singles and doubles to this day. And biking along the shores of Lake Tahoe with the fresh Alpine air energizing me or walking barefoot in the wet sand with a Pacific Ocean salt spray blowing in my face are two of my other favorite outdoor pastimes.
"Being a Global Citizen for 50 years" all began for me the first day I saw the United Nations flag flying over the "Mac" campus. It inspired me to meet, talk to, and become friends with numerous international students. I realized how much we shared in common. Thus began my desire not only to learn more about them, their culture and countries but also other nationalities around the world. That "journey" continues to this day.
So the trip I'm really anticipating is returning to "Mac" in June of 2010. As a member of the Promotions Committee, I have enjoyed calling and writing to classmates. Visiting my old friends on campus and reliving our past will be a once-in-a-lifetime event. See you there!
After graduating from Macalester I attended the University of Illinois for a degree in library science. My first professional position was in a public library in Edmonton, Alberta. Next I went to Germany as a librarian for the U.S. Army Special Services. While in Germany, I met and married Edward (Ted) Brownell who was then a lieutenant in the army. We returned “stateside” in 1966 and lived briefly in Maryland, N. Carolina, and Texas before Ted went to Vietnam. I returned to St. Paul and lived with my parents where Ted joined me after his tour of duty. He left active duty and decided he wouldn’t mind life in the cold north even though he was born and raised in Alabama. We have remained in this area ever since then, although we have moved five times.
Life has been good. While our two sons, Andrew and Mark, were growing up we participated in typical family activities such as t-ball, Boy Scouts, church, etc.
In addition we cared for both Ted’s father and my mother in our home. I continued to work part time until I retired from Hennepin County Library in 2001. My husband Ted worked in the investment business specializing in municipal bonds and retired in 2003.
Our son Andrew and his wife live in Minneapolis and have one son (our first and, so far, only grandchild). Mark is living in Europe and working for Cereal Partners Worldwide. We went to Germany to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and again for our 40th anniversary, and hope to visit our son in Switzerland someday soon.
We are enjoying retirement with a little travel, a little gardening, a few projects now and then, trips to our condo in the Florida panhandle and, of course, our grandson.
Following graduation, in August 1960, I married Allan Fredrickson, a veterinary student at University of Minnesota. I combined a short stint at public school music teaching, then private piano lessons and a church organist position, while Al finished his DVM degree.
Al took an associate position at a veterinary clinic in Mount Vernon, Washington, still our hometown today. Caring for our four children was my primary "job." However, we soon became active in Jaycees and Jaycee "Wives(!)." I also got involved in musical endeavors as a church choir director and substitute organist for 25 years, and accompanist for the Bellingham Whatcom Chorale for 18 years. During this period I also earned a master's degree in English from Western Washington University.
Since Al retired four years ago, we have the opportunity to spend more time with our four children and their families, which include seven grandchildren. Much of our time also involves traveling in the U.S. and abroad. Though not completely retired, I've found the ideal organist position to complement our retirement lifestyle, a job-sharing situation. I'm not ready to walk away from my love of music ministry.
Seminary studies at Oberlin (Ohio) Graduate School of Theology ’63 B.D. and United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities D.Min. ’84. United Church of Christ ordained minister serving parishes in Alden, Iowa; Dexter, Mich.; Owatonna, Minn.; Hopkins, Minn.; and Savage, Minn.; plus three interim judicatory positions (UCC & Presbyterian Church USA) until retirement in 2003.
Married 50 years to Marion Thelemann (Swedish Hospital School of Nursing), with two children and three grandsons, ages 14, 10 and 1.
Beginning in 1992, we have taken annual winter getaways to Palm Springs, California, where since retirement we’ve been going for up to three months.
M—Minneapolis—I have lived here most of that time. A—Alum—I have enjoyed my many ties to Mac. C—Church—I have gained a great deal from my church membership. A—Author—I have written many books for teachers, texts and now I am writing books for children. L—Life-long-learner—I continue to like to learn new things. E—Educated—I earned a PhD. S—SPAN—I have had many wonderful opportunities to travel since my SPAN experience in Scotland. T—Teacher—I taught in a number of elementary schools and at the University of Minnesota for over 30 years. I have an ITQ Grant and I am still teaching. E—Educational consultant—I have worked with school districts around the US and in other parts of the world. R—Reunion—I am on our 50th Reunion Committee.
At Macalester I got my degree in business administration with a minor in education and sociology. My plan was to teach business education, but at graduation, I was offered a program director position at the St. Paul YWCA. In 1967 at the University of Minnesota, I earned an M.S.W. with specialty areas in group work and community organization.
I also worked for the Cleveland YWCA for 16 years in various positions, where we worked on issues of school desegregation, housing discrimination and racial justice. My horizons were further broadened as I served in positions at another local YWCA and at the National YWCA in New York.
The last 15 years of my YWCA career were in Geneva, Switzerland with the World YWCA. I was fortunate to work with volunteers and staff from around the world, with opportunities to visit many different countries.
I am now retired in St. Paul, and have enjoyed reconnecting with my large family of siblings, nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews. I continue as a volunteer with the YWCA nationally and internationally, as well as facilitate a support group for caretakers with family members who have Lewy body dementia. I also work part-time as executive director for the Minnesota Gerontological Society. The third age, or retirement phase, of life is a wonderful time for exploring new avenues. It has been fun to connect with Mac classmates on the Reunion Committee, as we reminisce about the foundations built at Mac and plan for our 50th reunion.
Upon graduation, I journeyed in the fields of social work, insurance, corporate human relations, and wage and salary administration. Finally I landed in the financial services industry. I worked in this field for 31 years, retiring as a senior vice president of investments. Not bad for a fellow with a double major in psychology and sociology and a double minor in chemistry and biology. Over this period of time I married Kay and had three children and two grandchildren. Our granddaughter is graduating with honors from high school this weekend, which is why I will not attend the reunion. One of our children, Jill, graduated from Mac in 1987 and truly enjoyed Mac.
I have been retired for nine years, and Kay and I now live in Naples, Fla. on a permanent basis. I keep quite busy with the volunteer scene in Naples. I am an Elder in my church, sing in the choir, paint water colors, play weekly in a bridge league, and do pro bono work in financial services. We have traveled quite extensively in Europe and are looking forward to going to France and Italy.
After Macalester, I went to the University of Iowa where I earned my graduate degrees. In 1966, I joined Humble Oil and Refining Co. (now ExxonMobil) and moved to Texas to work. My employment took me through several company organizations and locations — as diverse as "well sitting" in South Texas, field work in Alaska, and acting as liaison between Exxon and geological entities in both Russian and Kazakhstan. I retired after more than a 30-year career and settled down in The Woodlands, a planned community just north of Houston.
On a personal basis, I met my significant other more than 25 years ago. She also worked for, and retired from, Exxon. Nikky and I like to travel here and abroad. Last year, I took her on a cruise of the Baltic Sea which included a visit to St. Petersburg — a place I wanted to revisit, having been there on business trips without her.
Even though we have lived in Texas for 40-plus years, we both enjoy coming back to Minnesota several times a year to visit friends, family and the Mac campus.
