We send our deepest sympathies and love in Christ to the families of Dr. Paul A. Zimmerman who is now in the arms of his God and Savior. I first met Dr. Zimmerman in the late 1950's when he was President of Concordia Seward, and I came down from Concordia Edmonton to teach some summer school classes there. Some years later, when he was called to head the new Concordia, Ann Arbor, I had the wonderful privilege as Academic Dean, of helping Dr. Zimmerman transform the Erhard estate into the Christ-centered Concordia University now celebrating its 50th anniversary. We had just one year, with the help of our first faculty and staff, to plan the curriculum, recruit a faculty, write the catalog, begin the faculty and student handbooks, equip and furnish the classrooms and dormitories, set up our bookstore, plan athletic program, check new building details, visit congregations and schools, and an endless host of other important matters. . . . Dr. Zimmerman was a giant in all this Christ-centered activity.
