i hello there i greetings
hi
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church - Elder, Webmaster, School Committee

Greetings to you. I first started putting together ideas for the Good Shepherd web site in the fall of 1999. It was placed online in January 2000. It's hosted on Apple .Mac web hosting server.

I was baptized on July 20, 1969 in Fairmont, MN. Attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church and Immanuel Lutheran Church in Fairmont.

During my college years I attended the Campus Lutheran Chapel, Mankato, MN
