Henry Moyer

| ’48 | Henry E. Moyer writes, “The big event in my life this year was the receiving of the certificate of recognition for 50 years in the ordained ministry, given to me at our Synod Assembly. I graduated from the Northwestern Theological Seminary (U.L.C.A.) in Minneapolis, Minn. and have served my Lord and my church in rural parishes in the mid-west. I am retired and living in my first house; all other dwellings were parsonages. At the age of 80, I still find myself continuing to serve the church, but on a part-time basis (16 hours per week), as the visitation pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Thief Falls, Minn., a large congregation (1800 members) in this predominately rural area. My wife and I together carry on a two by two visiting ministry, calling on the lonely, shut-in, institutionalized and aged. We have four children (two of each gender) all grown and married and living apart in four states: Fla., Mo., S.D. and N.D.”

Tommy Coughlin sends this note for all his classmates:

As I sit back and contemplate
Those young freshmen the class of ’08
Through laughter and tears
They will learn with their peers
The pride of a Muhlenberg Graduate
