SwedeHearts - Mary '71 & Carroll '69 Lindgren
February 17, 2022
My husband, Carroll Lindgren ('69) and I were Swedehearts at Bethany. We started noticing each other during Messiah rehearsals on the stage of Presser Hall. I was an alto, he was a tenor, and we sat fairly close to each other! He was also a football player at Bethany, and our first date was, you guessed it, the Lindsborg H. S. Homecoming football game. (Carroll was a "townie"). He passed 12 years ago, but I still have many great memories of our Swedeheart adventures at Bethany.
