Historical NoteReturn to Top
Kent Logan Walgren (1947-2003) was born on 17 February 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated from Salt Lake City's Skyline High School in 1965 and earned a B.A. degree from Brigham Young University in 1971 and a J.D. degree from the University of Utah in 1974. Subsequent to practicing law in Heber City during the mid-1970's, Kent served as an administrative law judge for the Utah Department of Commerce and the Utah Public Service Commission for twelve years (1978-1989). From 1989 until 1998 he was an assistant attorney general for the Utah State Committee of Consumer Services. While Kent was involved in these judicial activities, he became immersed in a multi-year investigation of Freemasonry which resulted in a 2002 publication of a two volume work titled "Freemasonry, Anti-Masonry and Illuminism in the United States, 1734-1850: A Bibliography." His interest in the relationship between Freemasonry and LDS theology can be seen in a 1982 article which the Illinois Historical Society deemed as the best written and researched contribution to Illinois history published in that year. An avid bibliophile, Kent owned and operated two used and rare bookstores in Salt Lake City prior to his retirement in 2002. He died of a heart attack in Paris, France, on 2 June 2003.
