Dad was a chemistry professor at Saint Olaf College in Minnesota then Oxford College in Minnesota and a very active member of the American Chemical Society education committee where he sat on the committee with Linus Pauling who had authored a very phenomenally important textbook of chemistry.
On the recollection of so many and great favours and blessings I now with a high sense of gratitude presume to offer up my sincere thanks to the Almighty the Creator and Preserver.
