  Historian, Paul Wehr is Introduced to Slavia Founding Families, c. 1980

  To introduce Dr. Paul Wehr to the descendants of the founding families of Slavia, a "Founders' Feast" was held at the Lutheran Haven Fellowship Hall. The party was hosted by Walter and Judy Duda and the 200 invited guests had been asked to bring a favorite Slovak dish, to wear a Slovak costume, if possible, and to bring mementos and photographs relating to the early years of Slavia Colony. The tables groaned with wonderful ethnic dishes, a few guests wore authentic costumes and some even danced to the Slovak music playing over the speakers. But the highlight of the evening was the introduction of Dr. Paul Wehr, author/historian, who revealed to the assembled guests that he was interested in recording the histories of Slavia and of St. Luke's Lutheran Church. He asked them to allow him to see their photo collections and to interview them about their families' experiences in settling in FL. Dr. Wehr's request was warmly received; he was welcomed into many homes in the community and was provided with valuable resource material. After much painstaking research, Paul Wehr authored a text he titled, "Like a Mustard Seed: The Slavia Settlement." He very generously granted all rights to this work to St. Luke's Lutheran Church and the text remains an important historical resource for the church and community. In this image, Dr. Paul Wehr poses with Judy Duda (wearing a borrowed Slovak costume) during the event which launched Paul's relationship with the founders of Slavia and St. Luke's Lutheran Church. c. 1980

  History of Luther HS:The LHSA of Central FL, Inc

  The October 1994 edition (Volume 12, Number 8) of "The Crusader," a publication of the Lutheran High School Association of Central FL, featured an article recalling how a Lutheran High School came to be established in Orlando. The concept gradually gained support following the first meeting to consider the feasibility and need for such a school, which took place in February, 1971. By December, 1973, the LHSA was incorporated, but it would be another 18 months before the first classes were held on the campus of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, with Lester Zimmerman serving as the first principal of Luther High School. By the time this edition of "The Crusader" was published (in 1994), the school had experienced many changes in leadership, many financial (and legal)challenges in relocating to its own property on Econlockhatchee Trail, had evolved into Orlando Luther Middle and High School and was under the leadership of Principal Richard Wallace. The original Association(of individual members) which was established in 1973 was now being revised and revitalized to provide more financial stability from congregations and from individuals who were committed to Lutheran education.
