Daniel C Bruch: Born and raised in a parsonage in Iowa before World War II, he has been married to Elizabeth (Ph.D.) for 43 years and together they have four grown daughters and seven grandchildren. He has earned six degrees (including the D.Min., Ph.D, and Sc.D.); served as a college, university, and seminary professor; been a parish pastor and university chaplain; volunteered as a certified emergency room and police chaplain; and is a certified mediator and arbitrator. He became a liberal by conviction, not by birth. He has taught in Romania, Serbia, Hungary, and Indonesia, living in the latter two on several occasions for extended times. Sarah A. Bruch: Born in Wisconsin in the year that the Beatles disbanded, the United States invaded Cambodia, and four students were killed at Kent State, Sarah's formative years were lived in North Carolina with three sisters (now a psychology professor, a law professor, and a social worker). Sarah's university degree is in communication and marketing and she has worked in retail, banking, senior housing, and corporate human resources where she was an H.R. Director. She was born a liberal, raised a liberal, and remains a liberal. She was often surprised but always delighted to find herself the mother of four remarkable sons. Her husband works with middle school special education students and is a state champion high school hockey coach. © 2005 live liberal, all rights reserved.
