Bill Collins, '50, made the report for the Financial Committee. Total assets (trust accounts and members' equity) of the association for the year (1985-86) were $731,040, an increase of $86,867 during the year. The financial success of the association 'was recognized and thanks extended to Frank Mackaman for the work. Art Baebler, '55, reported on activities of the Alumni Alliance (representatives of the four UM campuses.) A reception for UM President Peter Magrath was held in Kansas City Oct. 9 and there was to be one in St. Louis Nov. 5. Legislative Day is scheduled for next March or April. Al Buescher, '64, gave the report on the association's annual fund. He noted that the association received more money during the year even though there were fewer donors . The average gift was $56.50. A motion was made and passed that an amount of up to 5 percent of the donation be spent to send a memento to the donors of $250 and $500 gifts. The total amount donated to the annual fund for the 1986 year to date was $160,404.37, ($44,580 in matching gifts). Joel Loveridge, '39, reported 140 students participating in the grant-in-aid athletic fund program. A motion was made and passed to increase the athletic funding from $10,000 to $14,000. Ron Tappmeyer, '47, listed those to whom Alumni Awards would be presented at the Saturday banquet (see pages 4 and 5 this issue), and Bob Berry named the four mfi!mbers of the faculty who would be presented a $500 award for being an outstanding adviser, at the board's noon luncheon (see page 10 this issue).

Arthur G. Baebler, '55 Assumes Presidency of the Association The MSMÂˇUMR Alumni Association is now under the leadership of Arthur G. Baebler. He was elected during Homecoming, Oct. 17Âˇ18, 1986, and will serve as association president until October, 1988. Baebler, executive vice president of St. Louis Printing Industries, Inc ., received his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from MSM in 1955. In 1970 he was awarded the professional degree, engineering manager. Baebler says there are three goals that he wants to see-accomplished during his term. He would like UMR's tradition of engineering excellence stressed, its ties with industry strengthened, and its research benefits recognized. But to do so he "needs the help of all alumni." Baebler believes that UMR's tradition of engineering excellence is a real plus for the students. Moreover, because most students on campus are also pursuing an engineering degree, there is an extra bonus. "If you want an engineering degree, it's a lot easier to accomplish that very difficult task at Rolla," Baebler said. "Because most of the students are focusing on the same area, they can assist each other and build upon their individual strengths." Another point Baebler makes is that alumni can support UMR not only with dollars, but also by doing "public relations" and encouraging students to find out what it means to be a Miner. Most of Baebler's past work with the Alumni Association has centered around strengthening the ties between UMR and industry. The association's first priority is to understand the .curriculum and how it meets business and industry needs, he said.

"I recognize that that's the prime responsibility of the faculty and the leadership on campus," he said, "but the representatives on the alumni association board are in the field every day. They have a clear understanding of what industry needs now and what it's going to need a few years from now. We juSt want to make sure that the graduates are prepared to be employed, and to fill the role that's required of them in the business community. "Again, alumni can help by letting the university know about trends they see in their professions." Finally, Baebler stresses the research capabilities that exist at UMR. "Alumni need to keep their own firms informed of UMR's research efforts so that they may take advantage of them in a mutually acceptable way to fulfill a real need," he said. Although his primary focus is now the Alumni Association, Baebler has been active in the Missouri Advisory Committee of Vocational Education, the Coordinating Board of Higher Education Advisory Committee, the St. Louis Local Development Corporation, and the Kidney Foundation of Eastern Missouri. He is also a past president of the University of Missouri Alumni Alliance, a organization which links the four University of Missouri campuses. Art and his wife Ivy have two sons. Matthew attended UMR and received his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering in 1979 and a M.S. degree in engineering management in 1980. Andrew is a graduate of the Washington University law school. The Baeblers live at 17 Zinzer Court, St. Louis, MO 63123 . .

It was a packed house at the Alumni

and Gold party on Friday night.

For most returning alumni, Homecoming at MSM-UMR is an opportunity to greet old friends and faculty and to get an impression of how the old alma mater has changed. The 1986 Homecoming festivities were designed with that in mind. On the social side there were the Silver and Gold Party and several honor class functions on Friday evening. Saturday provided an al umni breakfast, the "Fieldhouse Feed" at noon before the football game, and the Alumni Awards Banquet that evening. Special athletic and music groups got together and fraternities, sororities and other living units held open house during the weekend. On the academic sideÂˇof Homecoming, nine free short courses and seminars were offered to alumni on Friday and Saturday, and tours of the campus were available, also. The seminars and short courses included: "An Introduction to Grounding and Shielding and Electronic Instrumentation," "Shapelier Sentences," "Computer Ethics," "The Japanese System of Process Control and Productivity Improvement," "Oak Leaves and Shillelaghs: Engineering Education in the Ozarks," "Ozarks Folklore," "Personal Finance: How to Avoid Losing Your Spouse's Shirt After Age 75 ," "Ms. Professor," and "Current Applications and Possibilities in Molecular Biology." Some individual alumni became even more deeply involved in the academic side of Homecoming. Richard Bolander, '61, lectured to physics undergradutate students and Phil Ostapowicz, '78, '79, and Gil Fuller, '74, consulted with the engineering management faculty (Phil also did a bit of recruiting for Berry Wehmiller Co. while he was on campus). Although there was no way to obtain an accurate count, returning alumni totalled more than one thousand and seemed to enjoy participating in most of the activities offered.

A/ul11ni Section Nevvs _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _~_:... Northwest Section Spring Meeting The morning was cold, cloudy and breezy. We were all feeling what life on a sailing vessel was like. The ship was leaning with the wind captured by the canvas of five sails. White caps appeared occasionally on the water's surface. Some of us were huddled together to keep warm and have fun

listening to the captain tell stories of sailing adventures. Others were play· ing cards and warming up down in the cabin. A few of us helped handle the sails and lines when changing direction during tacking procedure. We also could take the helm under the watch· ful eyes of the crew. You could taste the adventure while sailing through a narrow passage between two islands

in the San J uans north of Seattle. This describes our latest Pacific Northwest Chapter Spring outing on April 12 and 13, 1986. Originally, we had scheduled just one day on the sail· ing vessel "Sylvia", but we had so many signing up to go that we char· tered a second day to accommodate everyone. The "Sylvia" is a registered historic vessel, a l1 d is the oldest sailing

charter ship on the West Coast. The tall ship was launched in Sweden in 1897. The length is 76 feet and the beam (width) is 19 feet·8 inches. The two masts support up to 2,800 square feet of canvas. The capacity is 28 pas· sengers plus crew. We had 53 people go sailing with us. Members from as far away as eastern Washington and southern Oregon attended.

1986. The Northwest weather cooper· ·ated with us for an enjoyable time. We had sixteen people attend the event. The food was excellent. Some of our

members and guests took advantage of the Wright's new spa. Airplane rides were given by Stephen Wright in his Cessna 182 Skylane to all interested in

viewing the Snoqualmie Valley and Issaquah from the air. We decided to go to the horse races in October. continued next page-

San Diego Section A good time was had by all on Sat- . urday, Nov. 1, at the Kona Kai Club on San Diego Bay by the members of the San Diego Section. Al Keevil, '43, gave a slide presentation of highlights of Homecoming at Rolla on Oct. 1718. The bonfire parade, football game, progress on the mineral engineering and engineering management buildings, the gymnastics of the cheerleaders, parade' of queens, and fraternity decorations were featured in the color slides. A short review of the section's

sail on the Invader in June with Don and Nancy Brackhahn from Rolla was made. Many favorable comments were made on the coverage in the Missouri Alumnus and the fine job done by the editor. Don Haskell, '49, acted as section photographer and prepared the pictures displayed herewith. We had fellowship with: La Nelle and John Gardner, '51, frgm La Mesa; Betty and Don Haskell, '49, from Ocotillo; Ethel and AI Jurvic, '33, from Pacific Beach; Isabel and W. D. McKee, '51, '52, from

MINER SPORTS Gene Green, Editor Basketball. ... 1986-87 Is a Special Season for Coach Billy Key The 1986-87 season is indeed a special one for UMR head basketball coach Billy Key. The 28-year collegiate coaching veteran will serve as President of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) this year. How does he view the 1986-87 season? "We will indeed have a different look than we have had in the past four years," Key said. "The Miners will feature one of the quickest teams in many seasons, but we are missing some overall size." Gone from last season are 6-8 Dave Moellenhoff; 6-7 Krls Stange and 6-6 Mark Zarro "Our success will depend on how well we play on defense and how quickly we mold together as a squad. 1 look for us to shoot the ball pretty well, and the addition of the threepoint goal should help us out." Key feels a trio of sharp-shooters could cash in .quickly on the newest NCAA rule change. "Duane Huddleston (6-4), Billy Walker (6-4) and Adrian Davis (5-9) are all excellent shooters ancLshould contribute from three-point territory. Our rebounding will have to fall into the hands of Tim Hudwalker (6-6) and Julius Lewis (6-3), with returnees Stu O'Kraski (6-2) and Mark Givens (6-4) helping the attack off the bench." Top newcomers for the Miners include one junior college transfer and a cast of freshmen hoping to earn some playing time. "David Dean (6-6) comes to the Miners from Allen County Junior

Adrian Davis, right, tries to drive past teammate Bill Walker, left, during pre-season practice. College, and 1 expect him to contribute to our program almost immediately. Also, freshmen William McCauley (6-2) and Greg Salee (6-4) played on tremendous high school teams and could progress quickly." Other Miners are freshman Allen Griffey (6-8) and sophomore Scott . Woolsey (6-3).

Who does Key see atop the MlAA this season? "Since Southeast Missouri finished second in the nation last season, and Central Missouri is traditionally tough, you would expect both to challenge for the crown-but 1 think the sleeping giant for 1986-87 may be Northwest Missouri," Key said.

"They have a fine player in Glenn Phillips returning, along with a transfer from Drake University and highlytouted Tony Hoke out of Forest Park Community College. "The rest of the conference should be very balanced, but as always, anyone can knock anyone off any night in this league.

lady Miners look for Solid Basketball Season UM-Rolla head women's coach Mary Ortelee is hopeful of better ' things for this year's Lady Miner basketball team. "We are a more balanced squad, with better outside shooting than ever before," she said, "With our key players returning, and some talented newcomers, 1 believe we will be a much more competitive team in 1986-87." Ortelee begins her third season as UMR's head coach. She came to the Miners following three seasons as an assistant at Lamar University, where she earned her master's degree. Ortelee graduated from State University of New York-Cortland, where she played basketball and served as team captain during her senior season. She was also a two-year letter-winner in golf. Ortelee has a two-year record of 1531, including UMR's 6-19 mark of a year ago. "I do think we will improve quite a bit this season," she said. "Tanya Hough and Susan Mullins return off of double-figure efforts of last season, and we have added some quality people to help them out in the scoring and rebounding departments." Hough, who became the first Lady

20/MSM Alumnus

Miner basketball player to ever be named to the All-MlAA squad, averaged 16.9 points and 11.0 rebounds per gam'e in 1985-86. She is noted by the NCAA News as one of the top returning players in the NCAA Division II. Mullins scored 14.1 points and grabbed 5.4 rebounds per game, and was an honorable mention member of the All-MlAA squad. Other returnees for the Lady Miners are guards Melissa Warfield, Mary Pudlowski and Liz Haning, along with forwards Sandra Vaughn and Justina Robinson and center T onya Clemons. ' Top newcomer for the Lady Miners is 5-10 freshman Jennifer Cordes, a first-team all-stater from Lutheran North High School in St. Louis , Cordes, named "North County Miss Basketball" by the St. Louis media last season, could make an immediate impact on the Miner lineup. "She will have some adjustments to make in switching to collegiate basketball, but it will not be long before the MlAA is aware of her talents," Ortelee said. "She has the chance to be a great player." Other Miner newcomers are Lutheran North teammate Colette

Neal, Rolla native (and former Southwest Missouri State guard) Dianna Pasley, and St. Louis (RosatiKain) center Stephanie Zink. What do the Lady Miners need to do to improve over last year's performances? "If we drastically cut down on our turnovers, things will be much improved," Ortelee said, "We averaged 24 turnovers per game last season, and you are not going to win very often if you do that." The biggest question mark for the Miners remains the lack bf a ,true center with experience, but the team has better overall size this season and should improve on the boards, "We simply have better quality athletes this season," Ortelee said , "I would hope that we would surprise a few people this year, and continue to improve ," Ortelee sees Southeast Missouri State as the team to beat, with always tough Central Missouri State next in line, "The MlAA is always very rugged, and we face perhaps our toughest schedule ever this season," she noted, "We play two NCAA Division 1 teams along with our league competition, so it will be a very challenging year."

Top Swimmers ... .. UMR tear.n captains Martin Rodseth, left, and Danny Mattie, right, pose prior to this season's opening meet against UMSL. The Miners ripped the Rivermen in the opener, and hope to do well in 1986-87 despite losing 10 seniors from last year's national power. The Miners finished eighth in the NCAA II Nationals last season, the highest finish in the school's history.

Miners End Football Season on Losing Note A variety of turnovers and inconsistency in the kicking game stopped UMR Nov. 15 in a 30-20 loss to visiting Grand Valley State. The loss ended UMR's regular season at 5-6 overall and 2-3 in the MIAA. UMR led the Lakers 14-7 early in the third quarter, before a 21-point Grand Valley fourth quarter rallied the Allendale, Mich. , team. The Miners lost four fumbles , had one interception and two bad center snaps on a punt and a field goal attempt. "You can't make those kind of mistakes and win," said UMR head coach ·Charlie Finley. "I was disappointed that we did not end the season with a win, but we did have an outstanding effort on the field. That is about as hard as our players have hit all year. " Despite the loss, UMR produced an exciting season in 1986, breaking a number of long-standing team and individual records, The Miners broke the following marks: • Single season-individual-Jim Zacny kicked 30 point-aftertouchdowns (breaking the old record of 29 set by George Stock in 1983); Brad Haug threw for 15 touchdown passes (breaking the old record of 13 set by Pat Godwin in 1970). • Career-individual-Zacny now has 21 field goals (old record of 17 was held by Craig Thomas-1979-82, and Tom Rosenauer-1975-78). • Single game-team-In the Lincoln University game this season, the following team records fell: most rushing attempts (78), total first downs (32) and most yards rushing (467).

• Season-team- Points scored-291 (old record was 267 in 1978); touchdowns passing-16 (old record was 15 in 1970) and first downs-209 (old record was 207 in 1970 and 1977). "Our team was very young and inexperienced this season, and with that you are going to get some mistakes," Finley said. "But I thought the team played hard, gave us a good effort and should improve during the riext few years."

The 1986 MIAA football team was selected Nov. 18 by the conference coaches, with Miner offensiveLguard Eric Wiegand becoming the first player in league history to gain firstteam honors four straight years. Weigand, a 6-3, 260-pound senior, was joined on the first-team by fellow offensive performer Ron Reimer. Reimer, a sophomore receiver,

caught 40 passes for more than 750 yards and seven touchdowns. Second-team members for the Miners were placekicker Jim Zacny, linebacker John Hentges and defensive backs Lloyd Flowers and Vernon Huggans. Honorable mention Miners wer'e quarterback Brad Haug, fullback Tom Reed, and defensive backs Tony Kaczmarek and Rip Stringer.

UMR sophomore running back Mike Vehige (38) runs for a big gain against SE Missouri. Vehige was UMR's second-leading rusher in 1986, gaining MIAA "Player-of-the-Week" honors one week.

Resume of Games-Second Half of Season Oct. 11 at Northwest MissouriThe best defensive effort of the season paced the Miners to a 13-3 win over the Bearcats. Haug passed to Greg Suellentrop for one touchdown, and Mike Vehige added a IS-yard run to give the Miners an easy win. Northwest Missouri gained only 46 yards on the ground, and could muster only a 32-yard field goal. Oct. 17 vs. Southeast MissouriThe Indians defeated UMR 30-12 to ruin the 1986 Homecoming. UMR's offense sputtered, as a pair of Zacny field goals and a touchdown pass from Haug to Don Brumm were the only

Miner scoring. The Indians used the speed of Anthony Jackson to score three touchdowns. Oct. 25 vs. Lincoln-UMR set four records while rolling over Lincoln 53-6 in a Parents' Day contest. Tom Reed led a rushing attack with 118 yards and three touchdowns, as the Miners rushed for a team-record 467 yards. The Miners also were tough on defense, allowing only 16 yards on the ground and 46 in the air. The win gave the Miners a 5-3 overall record and a 2-2 mark in the MIAA. Nov. 1 vs. Southwest BaptistUMR blew a 10-0 halftime lead to lose

a 13-10 game to the Bearcats. Turnovers were the story for the Miners, as four fumbles lost and two interceptions led to all the Southwest Baptist scoring. UMR still received a solid effort from Vehige, who ran for 115 yards and one touchdown. He was voted MIAA "Player-of-the-Week" for his efforts. Nov. 8 at Northeast MissouriThe Miners lost their MIAA finale 3021 , falling short on a second-half comeback. Roketi Esau's running and Russell Evans' receiving abilities were too much for the Miners to handle, as Northeast Missouri rolled up 430

offensive yards. Venige was again the lone offensive star, rushing for 120 yards. The Miners watched their record sink to 5-5 overall and finish at 2-3 in the MIAA. Nov. 15 vs. Grand Valley StateUMR lost to the 17th-ranked team in the NCAA II, dropping a 30-20 game to the Lakers. The loss dropped the Miners to 5-6 overall and represented the team's first losing season in 10 years. Turnovers again plagued UMR, but the game featured the Miners in their hardest-hitting effort of the 1986 season. Haug ended a tremendous season with a 14-27, 143-yard effort.

Julie Board runs in NCAA II Cross Country Nationals For the second time in UM-Rolla history, a member of the women's cross country team qualified for the NCAA II National Championship. Julie Board, a junior from Independence, Mo . (Truman High School), qualified for nationals with a time of 19:19 during the Great Lake Regionals held at Central Missouri State. Board's time was the fourth-best overall, and the' third-best time of an indi-

vidual not on the first-place team. (The NCAA qualifies one team, and the top three individuals not on that squad). J an Hierholzer qualifed for the Miners in 1982, finishing eighth overall. At the NCAA II Nationals competition, held Nov. 22 in Riverside, Calif., Board finished 35 out of 99 cross country qualifiers. Her time was 18:20, a personal best ever record.

"I am thrilled for Julie, as she has worked very hard this season and has put together a great year," said Sarah Preston, Lady Miner cross country coach. The UMR men did not qualify any individuals for the national meet, with Kurt Whittet (13th) and Tim Swinfard (15th) the top two finishers for Coach Dewey Allgood's ~quad.

Graduate Student From Iceland In Civil Engineering Arni Rafnsson, of Reykjavik, Iceland, is a graduate student in the civil engineering department at UMR thanks to a Rotary Foundation Scholarship_ "I would no't have had the opportunity to be a student at UMR had it not been for that scholarship," said Rafnsson _ Rafnsson, who is working on his M.S. degree in the area of geotechnical engineering at UMR, said, "The Rotary Foundation Scholarship gave me the opportunity to choose from a number of excellent institutions to attend. After discussing all of the options available to me, I was convinced that UMR could provide me with a quality education I would need to help me later in my career," he said. "My only problem has been the difference in our languages," Rafnsson explained. "But, I'm overcoming that obstacle very quickly _" Rafnsson, who received his B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of Iceland, said he is thinking of working toward a Ph.D_degree in civil engineering at UMR before returning to Iceland.

Ronald E. Olson Named Curators' Professor of Physics Dr. Ronald E. Olson, professor of physics at UM-Rolla and director of UMR's Laboratory for Atomic and Molecular Research, was named a University of Missouri Curators' Professor of physics at the October UM Board of Curators meeting. The professorship is awarded to outstanding scholars with established

Ronald E. Olson- '

reputations in their professions. Olson is internationally known for his research work in the area of theoretical and computational physics involving reactions between atoms and molecules. Dr. Ralph W. Alexander Jr., chairman and professor of physics at UMR, said, "Dr. Olson's research is essential to the basic understanding of a variety of problems that include chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere, the development of X-ray lasers and the development of nuclear fusion reactors. "As an example, calculations performed by Olson and his students have demonstrated that neutral beam heating would work in fusion reactors. "Such heating is necessary to obtain the extremely high temperatures (100 million degrees) needed to operate those reactors," he continued. The Atomic and Molecular Research Laboratory, which Olson directs, provides a focus for UMR faculty members doing research in atomic and molecular science. The laboratory is one of the largest university groups in the country doing . research in the area of molecular and atomic physics, providing 's tructure

for formal cooperative programs, group funding, and other collectiveÂˇ scientific activities, according to Alexander. Research conducted in this laboratory has helped lead to the discovery of reactions between ions and atoms that produce soft X-rays, included work in optical pumping, helped foster the development of instruments used on "sub chasers" and identified reactions that are important in determining gas pressures necessary to produce population inversions in intense laser sources. Alexander explained that the complex nature of the research done by Olson and his graduate and undergraduate students has required them to use sophisticated equipment inside and outside the University of Missouri. "To obtain effective research figures needed by reactor and accelerator designers, extensive calculations are required," said Alexander. "In addition to the computers available in the UMR Computer Center and through the UM Computer Network, Olson and his students utilize supercomputers, located at the U.S. Department of Energy's Livermore Laboratory in California." This super-

computer (CRA Y) time is obtained by Olson from DOE and amounts to 200 hours each year. Olson also has performed research with collaborators in France, West Germany, the Netherlands and Japan. He has been a visiting scientist at the Center for Nuclear Studies in Saclay, France (1975 and 1986) and at the University of Bielefeld, West Germany (1980). Presently, he has a joint National Science Foundation grant with colleagues in Tokyo and Nagoya, Japan. Before joining the UMR fac ulty in 1981, Olson served as manager of the Atomic Collision Program at Stanford Research Institute in Melo Park, Calif. He received his B.A. degree in mathematics and chemistry from the University of Wisconsin in 1964 and his Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from Purdue University in 1967. Olson is the author of more than 120 refereed scientific articles and scholarly publications and, since arriving at UMR, has directed grants and research contracts totaling more than $1.3 million. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and is a Senior Fulbright Fellow to France.

Alumni Profile Russell Bookout is a mechanical engineering graduate, Class of 1979. Although he had been an active band member in high school, he didn't participate much in UMR's music activities until Assistant Professor of Music Joel Krammer began the formation of UMR's Collegium Musicum. Russell became an enthusiastic member of the group and his interest in the field of Renaissance or "early" music has grown. He joined TRW's Reda Division after graduation and is now a development engineer for the company. He works in new product development; mechanical design area, i.e., pumps, motors and protectors; provides manufacturing support, presentations for marketing; and reviews manufacturing processes. The foljowing is reprinted from the November, 1986, issue of the Reda News, published by the Reda Pump Division of TRW Energy Products Group, Bartlesville, Okla.

Music Man Robert Preston brought 'The Music Man" to life on Broadway. Closer to home, the role is played by Russell Bookout, and there's not a trombone in sight. As a development engineer at Reda, Bookout's high-tech work world centers on blueprints, motors, protectors, and computer printouts. After hours however, his interests shift to lutes" viols and other instruments popular hundreds of years ago. Bookout's special interest is "early" music, or compositions dating from the Renaissance period, between 1300 to 1600. "I enjoy playing Renaissance music because there is less specialization than in modern music. A typical program may include everything from street music, such as the folk song, 'Greensleeves,' to high church masses," he says. "Some of it is very complex with up to 40 individual melody lines for different voices." Bookout's musical interests began in high school where he played a number of brass instruments as well as classical guitar. His attention focused on early music during his student days at the University of Missouri at Rolla. "We formed a small group of lute and recorder players. In the past seven years the group has grown to about 30 people and has expanded to include a greater variety of early instruments. " Bookout returned to Rolla last year as a guest artist with the university orchestra performing Vivaldi's Concerto for Solo Mandolino. "This is a piece in the Baroque style which was developed in the 1600 and 1700's. The Rolla concert was one of the few times the composition has been performed in America on the instrument it was written for, which gives audiences a much better idea of what the music is really like." Over the years, Bookout's instrument collection has grown to a point where he's "lost count of how many I own." He has also lost track of the number he can play. "My three favorites are the lute, bass viol de Gamba and alto recorder," says Bookout. He also plays the treble and tenor viols, theorbo, Baroque guitar, cittern, mandolino, and many different recorders and wind instruments. "It's really not that difficult to play them all," he claims. "Many winds have the same fingering and if you learn two sets of notes for each, you are able to play the whole family of instruments. "

Bookout practices an hour or more each day in addition to weekly rehearsals with the Westron Wynde Earlye Musick Consort. The six-member group plays two major concerts in Bartlesville each year and has also performed in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Kansas City at many Renaissance Festivals and madrigal dinners. Because most evenings and week-

ends are devoted to music, it's no surprise that vacations are dedicated to his hobby, too. Last summer he attended two workshops, one in Philadelphia and the other in England. "The study session in England is held on a huge country estate mg.intained by a foundation dedicated to preserving arts and crafts of the period. "Students gather here from all

over the world to study, and it's an incredible experience. No phones, no radios and no TV. Time stands still, and you're immersed in a culture that existed some 400 years ago. It's a world unto itself." A harmonious world filled with beautiful music and distinctive instruments- which is exactly the way Russell Bookout likes it.
