SwedeHearts - Kara (Remick) ‘85 & Bruce ‘84 Erickson
February 17, 2022
My husband Bruce Erickson and I met at Bethany- we were both biology majors. Did not notice each other very much until a summer was spent studying Genetics with Dr. Glenn Bellah. Summer on campus was kind of slow- we started dating at the end of the summer.
We just celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary this month. We even got married at Bethany Lutheran Church on Main Street. Many in our wedding party were friends from Bethany. We had to get special permission for them to come back and stay on campus before interterm started. Lambert Dhalsten- was the organist- all musicians participating in our wedding were associated with Bethany.
