Additional WWII chaplain noted
Editor's note: In addition to the 88 World War II chaplains listed in the May-June issue of Together, here is one more chaplain, however he was not a member of this denomination during WWII. That chaplain was the late Rev. Sander J. Kleis born Jan. 7, 1911, died Aug. 10, 1993, entered ministry 1950, retired 1976.
Kleis was ordained as clergy in the Wesleyan Methodist Church and transferred to the South Indiana Conference in 1950. According to Bethel UMC in Indianapolis, Kleis was a Navy chaplain during WWII. He served the Edinburg church for two years beginning in 1950 before becoming a professor at Asbury College for three years. He also served the South Indiana Conference at Glenwood, Shelbyville West St. and Bethel in Indianapolis. Heeding his call to higher education, he served as a professor at Anderson College from 1961 to his retirement in 1976.
