Former senator's brother Arthur Simon to be featured speakerDana College will hold a special memorial service for Sen. Paul Simon, a Dana alumnus who died Dec. 9 in Illinois. The service will be at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 12 in Trinity Chapel on Dana’s campus in Blair, Neb. The service is open to the public. The Rev. Dr. Arthur Simon, Sen. Simon’s brother and a 1952 graduate of Dana College, will be the featured speaker. Arthur Simon is the retired founder and executive director of Bread for the World, a major international hunger advocacy and research group based in Washington, D.C. While at Dana, Arthur Simon was active in the choir, intramural sports, student government, the student newspaper, the yearbook and campus Lutheran organizations. He shared his brother’s zeal for serving mankind. From Dana, where he was honored as a distinguished alumnus in 1980, he went on to graduate from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. Unafraid to take on a challenge, he was the pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City’s Lower East Side (a heavily-populated, low-income area) from 1961–72. He has authored books on Christian faith and public policy, poverty and hunger. In 2001, he received a Leadership Award from the Center for Public Justice, an organization where he also has served as a trustee and advisor. Among Arthur Simon’s numerous awards and honorary degrees is the Presidential Hunger Award for Lifetime Achievement. Arthur Simon and his wife, Carol, are retired and live in Brentwood, Md.
