Bob Douglas lived among the Bards of Valley View. Here he tells some stories of a group of faculty and administrators at Gustavus who
founded their own neighborhood. They are familiar names in the history of the college:
Floyd and Bea Martinson
Chet and Marian Johnson
Bob (Esby) and Ruth Esbjornson
Vic and Betty Gustafson
Ellery and Eileen Petersen
Kyle and Doris Montague
Don and Marlys Slarks
Ross and Lavinia Bloomquist
Don and Gene Lund
Ellis and Janet Jones
Cumulatively, they served Gustavus for over 600 years and in that time established their own legacies.
