About this ebook
The first essay shows how students of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wisconsin, viewed the political and social situation during the Kennedy era. The second essay presents two poems which reveal my philosophy of life and my experiences while I was leading a nomadic life in Latin America. The third presents my attitude toward swimming and how I mastered this art. The final essay explains the five Latin cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative.
