DAVENPORT — Don Moeller has loved the oaks that grace the front lawn of St. Ambrose University since he first saw them in 1969, as a new faculty member at the university. “These oaks sheltered some 27 scheduled spring graduations of which I was a part, usually reading the names of the graduates,” Moeller recalled April 24 during dedication of the oaks as “Moeller Grove.”
