In May Joe received a PhD from WSU. They graciously had offered him a contract to remain on the faculty at WSU but he chose instead to continue with Church Education. He was assigned to serve as Institute Director at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho—just 7 miles to the East of Pullman and to succeed Brother George Tanner who had been there for 28+ years. Douglas was born in July. In November 1960, Joe was called to be Bishop of the Moscow 2nd Ward which included the 300+ single and married students attending the U. of Idaho.
