Lorraine Berger, 88, Professor Emeritus of art, of Chanhassen, Minnesota, died Aug 6 in Minneapolis. She worked at North Texas from 1964 to 1995, teaching classes in advertising design, medical illustration and drawing. She was director of the Summer Art Education Institute. Her experimental artwork was often featured in exhibitions. She was a lifetime member of the 1890 Society, established the Lorraine E. Berger Visual Arts Studies Scholarship and the Lorraine E. Berger Endowed Scholarship Fund, and donated her art collection to UNT. Before she came to North Texas, she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Minnesota. She worked in the school systems in Indianapolis; Fargo, North Dakota.; Minneapolis; and the University of North Dakota at Valley City. She returned to Minneapolis after her retirement, but said when she heard "Texan" spoken there, she'd make any excuse for a conversation.
