Loren's Latest Interactions
I shared a table with Loren in an Algebra II class (Mr. Pletan) at Central High School, Grand Forks Central. The class consisted of +20 boys and 2 girls (Judi Cramer and myself) and Loren got teased because he had to sit with a girl ~ a girl who had no mathematical sense. He was always many assignments ahead of the classroom homework assignments and frequently had to help Mr; Pletan help classmates who needed help (at the chalkboard). Yes, he was very Norwegian (I am 100% Swedish) and displayed many of the characteristics most notably, a powerful work ethic. I remember all the fun we had in Algebra II, especially teasing Mr. Platan who was shorter than most of his students and resembled the comedian, George Gobel. Loren will be remembered for his superior mathematical expertise, being a valdictorian of our graduating class - 1960, and acceptance of those classmates who excelled in other fields.. .
