Bill McConnell

Bill McConnell (Hist) and Beth McLeran McConnell (Edu’64) celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last June. After graduating from Denver Seminary, Bill spent 40 years on the staff of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, 15 of them on loan to the Aliança Bíblica Universitária in Brazil, where he started the organization’s publishing house, the ABU Editora. Beth taught school, both in the U.S. and Brazil. Bill retired in 2006, ending his career as assistant to the president of InterVarsity, and the couple moved to Denver, where their four children (two of them born in Brazil) and two grandchildren live.
