Thelma Overhaug Lane interview, 1995 August 23
In this series of interviews by Odd Lovoll for his books “The Promise of America: History of the Norwegian-American People” and “The Promise Fulfilled: A Portrait of Norwegian Americans Today,” Terje Joranger interviews Thelma Lane of Iowa. A significant portion of the start of this interview is misplaced, and the recording begins somewhere in the middle of the interview, with Thelma telling about the strictness of the Lutheran church when she was growing up, as well as how Lutheranism interacted with other sects of Christianity and how it has changed today. Thelma then describes her political alignment and her current relations with relatives in Norway, as well as how she feels about her Norwegian-American heritage. Around twelve minutes in, the recording cuts to the start of the interview, at which point Thelma details her family origins, basic biographical information, and some stories of growing up near Spring Grove. They discuss her childhood growing up during the Depression and the activities of the Spring Grove Sons of Norway lodge.
