He was baptized and confirmed at the Osage Lutheran Church at Osage, Iowa. Taken from a report Dean wrote in high school: I started Sunday School when I was 5 yrs. old and public school when I was 6. Mrs. Mable Hackbart was my first teacher. She was also the best teacher I ever had. I only had 3 teachers while in grade school. The eight years I spent in grade school (rural school in Burr Oak township) passed by without anything very exciting happening. During my summer vacations, I helped my folks. I worked in the garden, fed the chickens and when I was 10 years old, I began milking. That was also my first year in 4-H club work. My project was hogs. I showed at the Mitchell County Fair and have showed for the last 5 years. After studying for two years, I was confirmed at fifteen years of age. This was also the same year I started high school at Osage. That was very different from grade school. In my freshman year, there were very many interesting days. I took part in football, wrestling and track. I was a little small for football but in wrestling I did better. I was able to advance to state competition and took 2nd place in my weight division. I was part of the student council and this year I am the president of the Senior class. Dean attended Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and served in the U S Army from 1954 to 1956.
