Dr. Moreland was my professor at Catawba. He was a wonderful professor and I always admired his kindness towards animals. We used to talk about his dog at the time, Chester. I know him and Chester are now reunited.

I don't know quite what to say. Tim was a guy, among others, I ran around with in high school. He was a fun guy and we had a lot of good times together. The thing I found most remarkable about Tim was that he already knew in high school what he wanted to be and did it! His voice is legendary and the silence now will be deafening. Tim's Dad got us our first job out of high school for $1.25 an hour. Mr. Moreland was the Sales Mgr. at North American Mfg. here in Sioux City, IA back in the summer of 1965. I really can't tell how sad I am about Tim's passing. I've thought a lot about our times together and to paraphrase his predecessor at the University of Nebraska, Lyell Bremser, m
an, woman and child, he had me rollin' in the aisles. Tim's saying when the Cornhuskers would break away for a touchdown was, "Goodbye, Dolly Gray". The same to you, Morph.

So sorry you lost your Tim. We were neighbors on Court St. In Sioux City, Iowa and attended school together. He was part of the gang that played tag and Red Rover - wonderful days! Until we meet again, Tim, watch over us! With love, the Wiedemeier clan!
