Description

The Bjelde's had a Cobber ring from 1929 that was passed down through generations and used as a "pre engagement" ring. They also talked about Jerry Bjelde's grandfather and his experiences at the college in 1929. They brought a homecoming brochure and talked about the contents of it and how it has changed from the recent years. Finally, they discussed the prohibition of dancing on campus and the impact it had on Jerry. He attended the very first dance held by Concordia in 1973.
