Ekenstedt, Delbert D.	Title: Delbert D. Ekenstedt Papers, circa 1980, 1984 Quantity: 0.1 c.f. (1 folder) and 3 tape recordings Call Number: River Falls SC 406; Tape 1323A Abstract: Recorded and written recollections by Ekenstedt of his experiences while serving in the U.S. Navy, circa 1966?1969, including: training as a Seabee, experiences as a transport driver in the Danang area in Vietnam (circa 1967?1968), leave in Australia, and a subsequent tour of duty in Cuba. He recalls the minutiae of daily activities, Vietnam scenes, and anecdotes. The written reminiscences concern some of the same topics but do not duplicate the recorded reminiscences. Apparently Ekenstedt was discharged after Cuba but later re?enlisted and served in Turkey and the collection includes some information on his civilian activities, a trip to Disney World, and his arrival in Turkey. Also included is some poetry he wrote and a photocopy of a letter from Nancy Reagan (1984).

Ekern authored railroad retirement and teachers' retirement acts and was actively interested in other legislation involving taxation, redistricting, the county court system, and establishment of the state life insurance code. Primarily correspondence, the collection also includes speeches and writings of Ekern on insurance or related topics; records of the Lutheran Brotherhood, a large fraternal life insurance company which he helped found; papers from his own political campaigns and from the La Follette-Wheeler 1924 campaign; and other materials. Many state and national figures are included among Ekern's correspondents.
