Professor Richard G. Cole - Reflections on a Career at Luther College from 1964-2005 (Episode #46, 5 Sept. 2021)

I was recently in Rochester, Minnesota hanging out with my dad, Richard G. Cole. My mom was getting her eyes checked at the Mayo Clinic, and while we were waiting at the Soldier's Field Hotel (which is mega-awesome by the way), I thought it would be a good opportunity to interview my dad about his experiences as a professor at Luther College from 1964-2005. This will be of interest to people interested in Luther College and its history.
We discuss how he arrived at Luther, former Luther professors, a major controversy in the early 1960's, former Luther presidents, Elwin Farwell, and H. George Anderson, and other topics such as the founding of the Center for Faith and Life. And, of course, we also had to discuss my hero, Weston Noble, too.
I suppose a few of my family members might find this interesting too.
For those of you who don't know Luther, what the heck do you have to lose? Just listen. Its just 40 minutes of your life.
Wartburg College people may not like this one. So you might want to skip if this one if you went to Wartburg. So Wartburg people ... that's my trigger warning for you.
This was a fun one to do.
Stay tuned for future episodes!!
