Victor Charles Dahl

I want to thank your passed husband/father. I used one of his studies titled; "The solidarity of the inter-American system in the United Nations General Assembly on the Spanish question.", for my IB History Internal Assignment. I'm a lad from Spain and I don't know this man, but I am certain he was a beautiful person. Thank you very much.

I knew Camilla and her family many moons ago, when she and I were in grade school before the family moved to then-Yugoslavia for a few years. I remember Prof. and Mrs. Dahl (never first names back then for kids!) as being very kind to me. I also fondly remember sleepovers with Camilla at their home and raiding their kitchen late at night - so many fabulous goodies to be found! I'm grateful for the times we had together and am so sorry to hear of Victor's passing. I send best wishes to the...

Prof. Dahl single handily was responsible for me graduating from college. He was my History of Mexico professor. He took the time to call me into his office and spend hours "trying" to teach me to write academically. He was a wonderful and kind man. I will always be thankful for having crossed paths with him. Thank you for your kindness. Stuart Kearsley

Professor Dahl was my teacher on several occasions and then supervised my MA in History in 1988 (basically he presented me with three options and then suggested that I choose one, which I did). He was a terrific teacher, unflappable and had a good sense of humor. I remember one semester he twisted his ankle and when he taught he simply elevated the sore leg on a table at the front of the room. I also used to see him over at the phys ed facility on campus...I was a runner and he played ball...

I did not learn of Professor Dahl's death until yesterday when I received my copy of the PSU alumni magazine. I had Professor Dahl in class at Portland State during the 1970/80 academic year. He was a wonderful teacher and he expected a lot from his students. He once gave me a ride from my apartment to campus--I was standing in the cold waiting for the bus when he drove by. He stopped his car and offered me a lift--a small gesture but one that meant a lot to me. My sincere condolences to his...

So sorry for your loss, Camilla. I never met your father, but I remember how proudly and lovingly you spoke of him when we worked together. I really regret that we lost touch, my friend But your dad must be watching over you still. I'll be at Mark Bosnian's community sing at Artichoke Music tomorrow, April 24th, 2-4pm, if you'd like to catch up. (Your # changed, but mine has not, if you still have it.)

To the Dahl family, We didn't learn about Vic's death until last week. We hope you can still access this. Maybe we have your address somewhere. Vic was a special guy. My director in Zagreb in 1971. I was not the stellar student, but the whole family always made me and other students welcome. My experience in Zagreb was a star in my life. Victor was always kind and patient! The last time we saw him was at Natalia's funereal. It was always a treat to see him and Beryl. Lots of good...

I met Vic , a fellow PSU faculty member, and Beryl through the Ferdinand Society, and after we all retired, saw them regularly at RAPS Retirement Association lunch and lecture meetings. I loved listening to Vic's good natured stories about Montana, and about life in general. One of my favorite stories of his involved buying tools and machinery at Sears. For years Sears would replace any tool that broke no matter how long a person had owned it. Vic recited a long list of things he had...
