Obituary: Lee Ira Bruckner, the fourth son of John and Ida Bruckner, was born 16, 1927. Lee grew up in the Harb Community with three older and two younger brothers and one older sister. His brother, Glenn, still lives in Malta. Dr. Evert Bruckner resides in Redlands, California. His parents, brothers Raymond, Laurin, and Harvey, and sister, Muriel, are deceased. Lee remembers with special appreciation his years in grade 1-8 Harb School. These formative years taught him the importance of family, of hard work, and a great appreciation of education. His brother, Raymond, had pet names for each of his siblings. He called Lee “Gulliver,” perhaps noting his great interest in learning about the world. Through church services held at the Harb School, neighbors, a close friend, Les Hromas, and the Community Church in Malta, Lee committed his life to Christ while in Malta High School. His focus became preparing to become a missionary. In 1950, Lee graduated from Bob Jones University with majors in Bible and English. He received a Master in Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1954. In 1952, on a mission trip to teach Vacation Bible School for Indian children on Vancouver Island and along the British Columbia coast, Canada, he met Lila Dean of San Diego, California, a fourth grade teacher. Lee and Lila were married 26, 1954. At that time mission boards were recommending that men who were missionary candidates spend at least two years as a pastor in the United States before heading overseas. Lee spent two years as pastor of Manhattan Bible Church in Manhattan, Montana. Lee and Lila attended Candidate Orientation for the Latin America Mission in 1957. It was with great disappointment they were told by the mission doctor that he could not recommend that Lee go to Latin America because of his asthma in childhood and during college and seminary. The Bruckners sought a second opinion from Dr. Adolph, a respected doctor used by many missions. Dr. Adolph ordered allergy tests. He felt Lee had "outgrown" the asthma and gave Lee clearance for anywhere in Latin America. While Lee completed an M.Ed. at Montana State in Bozeman, Montana, and began work on an Ed.D., Lila taught one year in a one-room school in Maudlow and fifth grade one year in Belgrade. continued to contact mission boards about missionary service. In 1959, the Bruckners accepted the invitation to teach the children of Christians who were trying to establish a Christian presence in Kabul, Afghanistan. At that time few knew where Afghanistan was. Some thought it was in the Caribbean while others thought it must be in Africa. The trip to Kabul had stops in Paris, Geneva, Rome, and Tehran. Lee was the principal and junior high teacher and Lila taught grades 1-3 in Ahlman Academy. Afghan, Iranian, Pakistani, Indian, and Yugoslavian children enrolled in addition to the children they were recruited to teach. The school soon became an international school. Their two years were rewarding and full of adventure but at a time when Afghanistan was a safe and stable land. The friendships they made have been lifelong and they have since attended Afghan Reunions with both children and grandchildren. Lee and Lila spent the summer of 1960 touring 22 countries of Europe. Since their flight was from Kabul to Helsinki via Moscow, they received intransit visas to visit the Iron Curtain countries of Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. even visited the display in Moscow's Gorky Park of Gary Powers' U-2 plane, shot down by the Russians. Christmas of 1959 was spent in Agra, India, seeing the Taj Mahal before attending an International Schools of Asia Conference in Bangkok, Thailand. Christmas, 1960, was spent with missionary friends in Hassan Abdul, Pakistan, before attending that year's conference in New Delhi. Each year they drove with friends through the famed Khyber Pass and across Pakistan to India. two years, Lee and Lila returned home to San Diego for the birth of their first son, Lee Irving Bruckner on 13, 1961. Lee was born at 1300 on the 13th, the thirteenth grandchild of John and Ida. Enroute to San Diego they visited Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, all of the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and the Holy Land still under Jordanian control. Lee taught one year for Grossmont Unified School District in San Diego before the family relocated to Lompoc, California, where Lee taught at Lompoc High School. Their second son, Dean Charles Bruckner, was born 5, 1962. Lee received a U. S. State Department grant at the East-West of the University of Hawaii in 1963. The four Bruckners relocated to Honolulu for one year. Lila taught for the Hawaii Department of Education while Lee was enrolled in an Asian Studies program with seventeen American and Seventeen Asian teachers. During the summer of 1964, the Americans spent the summer under the Japanese Ministry of Education. traveled though out Japan studying their educational program. The highlight was an audience with the Crown Prince and Princess at their residence. later became the Emperor and Empress of Japan. The Bruckners returned to Lompoc where Lee taught two more years and Lila served as Reading Specialist for a new high school. From 1966-1969, they again lived in Hawaii where Lee did the research for his dissertation on spare-time higher education in Mainland China up to the time of the Cultural Revolution. Lila taught fifth grade for the Kamehameha Schools. In 1969, Lee accepted a one year position as Special Lecturer in Education at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. The Bruckners lived on a farm and their sons attended a rural school at Horse Hill. The year in Canada gave the Bruckners many opportunities to reconnect with their family in Malta. In 1970, Lee was awarded his Ed.D. and recruited by Columbia Bible to teach history and missions on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. This was quite a change from Hawaii and Canada as South Carolina was involved in its first continued... |
