The Origin of the English Pronoun she
Juengling's work on the English pronoun 'She' posited that the word is most likely English in origin. Anatoly Liberman used Juengling's research on 'She' in his book Word Origins...And How We Know Them: Etymology for Everyone to support findings that "borrowings from Scandinavian have merged with the rest of English vocabulary." Liberman further utilized Juengling's work in the book A Bibliography of English Etymology, Volumes 1-2, co-written with Ari Hoptman and released in 2010.
Acta Philosophica, "an authoritative international academic press since 1928 and Italy's foremost publisher of scholarly journals", has also used Juengling's research on 'she'.
The Origins of the Southern Hemisphere Accents of English
The Origins of the Southern Hemisphere Accents of English, published in 1999, was a 210-page book written by Juengling focusing on dialects in the Southern Hemisphere for his doctoral thesis at the University of Minnesota. As Juengling's doctoral advisor, Liberman oversaw the completion of the work. Alexander Hugo Schulenburg utilized The Origins of the Southern Hemisphere Accents of English in his work St Helena, Ascension Island, and Tristan da Cunha.
Other
Juengling's work has been referenced by sociolinguist Peter Trudgill and in Arnold Zwicky's work as well.
Juengling has contributed to or had his work used in a number of projects, some of which include: The Family Tree German Genealogy Guide: How to Trace Your Germanic Ancestry in Europe; Focus on the USA, edited by Edgar W. Schneider (of Schneider's dynamic model); Foreign Language Program Articulation: Current Practice and Future Prospects; Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America; Do You Want to Come With?: A Cross-dialectal, Multi-field, Variationist Investigation of with as Particle Selected by Motion Verbs in the Minnesota Dialect of English by John M. Spartz; Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts: LLBA; and others.
Personal
Before moving to Bountiful, Utah, in 2011, Juengling taught German at Sprague High School in Salem, Oregon. In 2007, he was a nominee of the Crystal Apple Award, given to educators who "exceed all expectations of their profession and who engage community in their work." As of 2014, he works at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Family History Center, where he is an International Research Team Supervisor and a German and Dutch specialist.
He is the maternal nephew of Sybil Gibson Higley, with his mother Lavona and Sybil being sisters.

Scout vespers is a traditional song that is usually — like other vespers — sung at the conclusion of the day or service, especially at the end of a campfire service.
Lyrics
United Kingdom
Tune of "O, Christmas Tree"File:Oh Christmas Tree.ogg
Cub Scout Vesper Song
Softly falls the light of day,
While our campfire fades away,
Silently each Cub should ask,
Have I done my daily task?
For my country done my best?
Prayed to God before I rest?
Helped a friend along the way?
Have I done my best today?
United States
Scout Vespers is a traditional song of the Boy Scouts. The first verse below is universal, but the second is at times omitted. The song occasionally ends with one of these 2 spoken blessings:
# May the great Master of all Scouts be with us 'til we meet again, and may we follow the path that leads to him.
Alternate: May the great Scoutmaster of all good Scouts be with us until we meet again, as we run life's race, at a good Scout's pace, 'til we meet him at the end.
# And now may our heavenly Scoutmaster watch over us and all ordinary Scouts, and may we follow the trail that leads to him.
Tune of "O, Christmas Tree"File:Oh Christmas Tree.ogg
Original Scout Vespers
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout should ask,
"Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
In everything to Be Prepared?"
Listen Lord, oh listen Lord,
As I whisper soft and low.
Bless my mom and bless my dad,
These are things that they should know.
I will keep my honor bright,
The Oath and Law will be my guide.
And Mom and Dad this you should know,
Deep in my heart I love you so.
Second Version
Quietly we join as one,
Thanking God for Scouting fun.
May we now go on our way,
Thankful for another day.
May we always love and share,
Living in peace beyond compare.
As Scouts may we find,
Friendships true with all mankind.
Quietly we now will part,
Pledging ever in our heart,
To strive to do our best each day,
As we travel down life's way.
Happiness we'll try to give,
Trying a better life to live.
'Til all the world be joined in love,
Living in peace under skies above.
Cub Scout Version
As the night comes to this land,
On my promise I will stand.
I will help the pack to go,
As our pack helps me to grow.
Yes, I'll always give goodwill,
I'll follow my Akela still.
And before I stop to rest,
I will do my very best.
