Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Joseph Layton Bishop Jr. was born in the small farming community of Delta, Utah. Among the many things he learned while on the farm was that farmers could not then and cannot now control the early and late frosts, the untimely raging rains, or the fierce winds that often blow newly mown hay into the next county.One cold wintry night, while struggling to dam up an overflowing irrigation ditch (with ice-cold water pouring into his mud-entombed boot all the while), he made a life-changing decision: he was not going to be a farmer.He was going to be a university professor. The next year he unceremoniously left the farm to pursue his goal.Later, his career path quickly led him from teaching into administrative positions. He cut his first administrative teeth as the director of the Haitian-American Institute in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He later accepted a position as director of instruction at Mt. San Jacinto College in Hemet, California.About the Author 194 Jospeh L. Bishop Following that, he accepted a position as academic vice president of the newly created Prairie State College in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Later he became the executive director of a consortium of progressive colleges called GT- 70, based in Miami, Florida. Subsequently, he was offered the post of president of Weber State College in Ogden, Utah.Near the end of his administration at Weber State, he received a call from the Church to be the president of the Buenos Aires North Mission in Argentina, the same country he had served in as a young man. After his mission, the Church again called him to serve, this time as president of the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah.He later served two additional missions for the Church, one as the area welfare agent for Central America and one as acting president of the Samoa Apia Mission.He is married to Rena M. Davis, a retired nurse, and between the two of them, they have ten children, more grandchildren than they ever could have wished for, and a few great-grandchildren. Both now retired, they live in beautiful St. George, Utah.
