MY CV
PERSONAL
In my spare time, my husband and I (and occasionally our grown
children) greatly enjoy our cabin in the north woods of Minnesota, on
Lake 252.
In all seasons, we enjoy the quietness of the woods, the beauty
of the small lake, berry picking, observing wildlife, and visiting with
friends
and relatives who have cabins nearby.

SABBATICAL LEAVE 2001-2002
During my sabbatical leave I spent most of my time on campus in my
library carrel, some time working at home or at my cabin, and took two
brief trips to Norway. My primary project was translating and
interpreting the diaries of Ellen Kravik Lokensgard and Ole Lokensgard
(or Løkensgaard). These diaries were written in the 1870s and
1880s from the time Ellen was a student at Monona Academy in Madison,
Wisconsin, through her marriage to Pastor Ole Lokensgard and their life
together near Granite Falls, Minnesota, where he served several
churches. I have completed a draft translation of all 16 diaries,
and am continuing to work on the translation as well as background research.
