The name David Vorland might ring a bell.

Vorland spent most of his career at the University of North Dakota.

As a UND student, he reported part time at the Grand Forks Herald and summers at the Harvey (N.D.) Herald-Press.

After teaching journalism full time for five years at UND and St. Cloud (Minn.) State, he returned to UND as director of public relations. Dave took early retirement in 2005 after serving there for more than three decades.

Dave lives in Bloomington, Minn., with his partner, Dorette Kerian. Travel and photography are now his principal interests. He often visits Grand Forks.

In addition to his photos, Dave’s blogs sometimes will be in story form, too.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Vorland.
