Ray Seaver, former MHIF executive director, received his master’s of divinity
from the Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America Seminary in May. At age 67,
he also bore witness to the benefit of continuing to "take heart-health to
heart" by participating in and completing the Twin Cities Marathon in October!
Our congratulations to Ray and best wishes for his new vocation.
