Warren Glenn Berg, the original author of the Historical Dictionary of Malta, died last Monday, aged 88.

Prof. Berg was the first senior Fulbright Professor of Economics to be sent to the Royal University of Malta, which, besides the book contract also resulted in a flow of Maltese students to Luther.

In 1984 he received an award from the Matla Chamber of Commerce and in 1988 he received a second Fulbright Award to Malta to teach international business.

He will be remembered for his love of life, sense of humor, and integrity. Prof. Berg was also an avid traveler and reader, he collected model trains, had a knack for entertaining babies, and loved all things Norwegian.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Jan, and children Paula, Kristin, Kari, Jon and Erik, as well as 7 grandchildren.

According to his wishes, his body is being donated to the Department of Anatomy in the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa.
