My seminary is the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California. (Yes it was exciting in the 60's and 70's)
I have served in the Dioceses of Iowa, Idaho, Oregon, and Colorado

Tristan Palmgren - Parish Secretary
I started as the Church of the Good Samaritan’s secretary in October, 2009, and hope to stick around for as long as the wonderful people here find me useful. I handle the weekly bulletins, monthly newsletters and service schedules, mailings, and a plethora of other tasks. If you need something done but aren’t sure where to start, I’m usually a good person to ask.
You can reach me at the office between 10 AM and 12 PM weekdays at (970) 641 – 0429, or at good.sam.church@hotmail.com outside of those hours.
In my other life, I teach English (and other courses) at Western State College of Colorado. My wife and I moved to Gunnison to pursue teaching positions here. Gunnison has been a fantastic place to live. It fits our personalities very well. We recently bought a condo, and intend to stay here for as long as we can.
I should also note that I’m an unabashed nerd. If any of you should--for some mysterious reason--feel compelled to come to the office and talk science fiction, I would be happy to entertain you.
