Armstrong left to come to a church in Indianapo-
lis. Dr. Armstrong is now a bishop in the United
Methodist Church. Then in Melbourne Dr. Esch
met three American ladies on a bus tour, one of
whom had several mutual acquaintances from
Duke University, and another from Los Angeles,
who turned out to be the sister of a librarian who
had been very helpful to Dr. Esch when he worked
on his doctoral dissertation. In Djokjakarta he
discovered that the superintendent of the school
there had in his early days managed the play-
ground of a Los Angeles schdool where Lynd, Jr.,
once attended. Leaving Sumatra, Dr. Esch acci-
dently ran into a couple of missionaries from Ft.
Wayne, one of whom had a niece, Donna Foy, who
graduated from ICC’s nursing school several
years ago. Then in Bangkok, while attending lunch
with the school’s administrative staff, Dr. Esch
met a lady who had lived in Oakland, California,
and who knew very well a former deaconess in
one of Dr. Esch’s early churches, Florence Bender,
also an ICC graduate.
In a Bangkok high school building, Dr. Esch
found a big poster of Indiana Central College,
along with a catalog and other materials. Upon
inquiring, he learned that Stanley and Amy Zent,
ICC graduates, who had taught there for two
years, had “really been promoters of Indiana
Last Opportunity To Order Alumni Chairs
Central!” Going down to the game reserve
in Africa, Dr. Esch met two women in a small
car, one of whom regularly attended United
Church of Christ conferences on the campus, and
who knew Glenn Catlin, another graduate of the
college. These coincidental meetings were just
a few that Dr. Esch related. He exclaimed, “A
person could write a book about this kind of
thing. It started in New Zealand, and it just
kept going !”
It ended in reflection ...
Despite the pace of his trip, Dr. Eschk ad-
mitted that he had come home rested, having
thoroughly enjoyed all of his experiences, and
having appreciated the opportunity given to him
by the “kids”-his many student friends-who
provided the money for his airplane ticket. His
final comment displayed humor: “I’ve said a num-
ber of times that I could have understood a ticket
halfway around the world, perhaps, but not all the
way !”
If miles could measure love and respect and
appreciation, then the Indiana Central alumni
sincerely hope that this fine educator and very
special gentleman has accumulated all the love
and respect and appreciation that one heart can
bear !
