Local view on Memorial Day: How we honor the people no longer with us
Jerry Kamper and I were in the same class at St. Bernadette’s Elementary. I remember him as a kid with wiry strength and nervous energy that often got him into trouble with the Dominican nuns. They expected self-control until 3 p.m. every day.By David McGrath , May 27, 2012

Local view: ‘Self-made’ individuals owe their good fortune to many 
“Self-made.” We’ve heard it claimed, without reservation — and arrogantly, in my opinion — from individuals with large egos. Men, usually, make the brag. They point our how they, all on their own, are responsible for their substantial financial or professional success.

There were about 350 voting members present from more than 130 congregations. Our synod has a membership of 69,000 and is part of a 4.2 million-member church.
