This book – “Blue Eyes Love Red Roses” – is one response to that question.The author and his wife Ilene were very much in love when they married in 1948. They graduated from college, bought their first home, and had a young son. Herb Lindquist was teaching physics at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota, while establishing the physics department.Ilene was pregnant with the couple’s second son when the “polio bomb exploded” in their happy home. How did Herb and Ilene establish and maintain a “normal life” for themselves and their sons? This husband’s account, told with love and admiration, honors his wife’s abiding Christian faith, her positive outlook, and her “sisu” – the Finnish word for perseverance, guts, and grit.Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit the Ruth Ilene Lindquist scholarship at Augsburg College for women majoring in physics. Oiva Herbert “Herb” Lindquist is also the author of “My Finnish Father’s Sauna Gift,” a memoir honoring his Finnish immigrant father.
