God has been (and will continue to be) so good to you during these 50 years. We have great memories of our days at Concordia (class of ’76) and continued those memories with Dr. Ore serving as consultant for us on an organ project in Aurora, CO.

Mrs. Ore, our prayers continue to be lifted to the Lord for health and strength on your behalf. You are an inspiring writer.

God be with you both!

Mark and Leann McClain

I enjoy the poetry and prose alike, both the sighs and the highs. Many times your thoughts have been my companion throughout the day. I was an organ student of Prof. Ore during the mid 70s (in the days of Paul Tepker and David Polley) and have relished his concerts from NE to TX. I am a fan of both of you, and wish you a very blessed 50th Anniversary. May God continue to give you a bounteous time of loving. Nancy Lamborn Thyparambil

First of all, congratulations on your anniversary! I will be sure to offer my congratulations to Dr. Ore next time I see him here at Concordia.

Secondly, what a lovely picture of the two of you. As a very young engaged woman, you and your husband are such a wonderful example to me of what marriage should be!

Thirdly, I had a delightful experience this morning which I think you will appreciate. I was walking through campus, between Jesse and Founder’s Hall, when I noticed two rabbits playing in the grass. As I had a few free minutes, I sat down between them, hoping they’d approach me. After a while one of them scratched in the dirt at the base of a nearby tree, then laid down rather like dogs do. It stretched out its back legs behind, and folded its front legs under its chin. It rather looked like it might nod off, as its eyes kept drooping partway shut. I mimicked its position (although without nodding off), and when after a few minutes I sat up to leave, so did the rabbit. When it hopped behind the tree I got up myself. It was rather neat.

God’s blessings to you!
Jaimie Huebschman

I have many, many fond memories of growing up in your household. It was very different from my own home-not better or worse, but a different lovely example to learn from and take into my own life. You especially taught me to love The Beatles! Congratualations on you 50th! Your poem was beautiful and to are you!
Thank you!
