jler Jensen may be remembered by friends for his personal stories of faith, such as how he was rescued by a mysterious stranger after a plane accident in an Alaskan blizzard. But his daughters, Linda and Yvonne, say they will remember their 102-year-old father as a man who dedicated his life to serving others—a missionary spirit that stemmed from a childhood in Canada when he would watch, enthralled, as missionaries at camp meeting used a magic lantern projector to share slides of their faroff travels. “From those days, Dad determined that he would be a missionary when he grew up,” says his elder daughter, Linda.
