Abstract

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Eric Grube is a Caucasian male born October 13, 1967. He grew up alongside his parents in Fulton, Minneapolis, on the intersection of 48th Street and Thomas Avenue. Grube's father was a family physician and his mother was a nurse. The Lutheran faith played a significant role in his life growing up, and remains present as an adult. SUBJECTS DISCUSSED: Grube begins his interview by sharing that he lived close to the lakes in Minneapolis, which filled his memories with plenty of lake days and sailboating. He recalls attending church every Sunday with his parents and attending youth confirmation nights on Wednesday. Religion has been a considerable part of his life from a young age. Grube participated in the youth choir throughout elementary school. He remembers racing others on a neighbor's sidewalk until junior high, and the homeowner would write down everyone's times. Grube concludes his interview by briefly explaining how the Vietnam War affected his neighborhood.
