9. A Few Words from Meadville Lombard Theological School • Instead of an interview, we decided to contact some past and current members of the Board of Trustees from Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago, Illinois. A key member of the Board is Larry Ladd. When Rembert Ryan Stokes Jr. was a trustee for the school, Larry Ladd was also a sitting member. Ladd is now the Chair of the Board, and the school had great things to say about Rembert Ryan Stokes Jr. and his involvement with the Theological School. All of the information we have used can be found on the school’s website. • Stokes put a lot of time and effort into the Theological School, and while he was on the Board of Trustees he helped guide the school, and remained on the board while teaching at several other universities nationwide. He proved himself to be a good multi-tasker, and contributed ideas to the school while he served on the Board. Back To Later Days
