The Emil Gudmundson
Book Fund
One of the accomplishments of the
late Rev. Emil Gudmundson, D.D.,
was a thorough and intensive re-
search of the background and'history
of Unitarianism in the Icelandic
pioneer settlements in the United
States and Canada. This research
culminated in a series of lectures
which he delivered in Winnipeg and
Arborg in 1981.
Since then he had incorporated the
substance of these lectures into a
manuscript for a book. Shortly before
his death on December 27, 1982,
Rev. Gudmundson was ready to sub-
mit the manuscript for review by a
publisher. Arrangements for pub-
lication of the book are now being
carried on by his widow, Barbara.
Anyone who wishes to honor
Emil's memory by assisting with the
publication may send donations to:
