Another Gift from the Heart
Opening gifts with her family on Christmas morning in 2006, Irene Nygaard Arens '58 had quite a shock. Inside the card from her husband, Al, was a description of an endowed scholarship fund established in her name at St. Olaf College. "It just blew me away," recalls Irene.
Selling the farm
Last year Paul Hauge '54, and his wife, Ruth, decided to give a special gift to St. Olaf.
