he, his brother, and his
mother went to Australia.
When the war was over, he
and his family returned to
New Guinea where his
primary schooling was done
by correspondence. He
returned to Austrailia to
attend high school, and after
that, he went to an
agricultural college in
Southern Australia.
Upon graduation, he
returned to New Guinea
where he worked as an
agriculture missionary. This
he did for 11 years until he
went to the United States to
attend Michigan State,
enrolled in their masters’
program. There he met his
wife, Josephine, also a
graduate student. After
completing their studies, the
two of them returned to New
Guinea, this time with
Freund as a government
agriculture agent. He did
basically the same work as
he had as a church
