Hi, I'm the webmaster for this unofficial site. I created the web site in 1997. I'm sure this is one of the original Web sites dedicated to Westmar after its closing.
Obviously, "David Burton" is a pseudonym. The pseudonym allows me to hide who I am.
As a Westmar College alum, I wanted a web presence as soon as the college closed lest Westmar College be forgotten. I enjoyed my years at Westmar and in Northwest Iowa.
This web site is my gift to an institution that gave me so much, that introduced me to life-long friends, and that has impacted this nation with its many graduates, especially based on its reputation as a teacher / preacher college.
My time on the Gleam staff and as its editor influenced my occupational choices after Westmar College. For that, I am grateful.
I hope you enjoy your visit.
Unfortunately, due to spammers, the guestbook had to be shut down.However, the results from the poll have recently been updated. The new updates are in PDF format. I noticed a striking difference between the emotion responses and the best moment responses, even though both were written by the same poll respondents. I rearranged the comments so that no one could compare what was said in the emotions and the best moment responses as the same person.
Long live Westmar College in our Hearts!
"David Burton"
