ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

U.S. News Ranks Rollins First in South ROLLINS COLLEGE was recently ranked number one among regional universities in the South in the U.S. News & World Report annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges.” In the category of “Best Universities - Master’s” (schools that provide a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs), Rollins ranked first, while James Madison University in Virginia ranked second and Samford University in Alabama ranked third. For 10 consecutive years prior, Rollins had been ranked second among regional universities in the South and first in Florida.

Rollins was also ranked first in the South in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” category for offering the best value, which relates academic quality with the net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of financial aid.

“This recognition is a testament to our committed faculty, dedicated staff, and talented students,” said Rollins President Lewis Duncan. “The great value of a Rollins education is confirmed by the success of our graduates.”

Rollins has been included among the top regional universities since the influential ranking of the nation’s top schools began in 1987. The “best college” rankings are based on surveys of college officials, combined with data provided by institutions, including student selectivity, faculty resources, financial resources, graduation rates, and alumni satisfaction.

In addition, the MBA program at the Crummer Graduate School of Business was ranked number one overall in Florida by Forbes magazine. Crummer’s part-time program was ranked 14th in the nation and its full-time program ranked 47th in the nation for return on investment.

In further recognition, Rollins was included in The Princeton Review’s and Campus Compact’s Colleges with a Conscience. The publication cited Rollins for its service and outreach projects in the local community, noting that the College had partnered and collaborated with over 30 different community nonprofits and organizations since 2002.

To commemorate the U.S. News ranking and these other significant achievements, the City of Winter Park officially proclaimed Friday, September 23 as “Rollins College Day.”

President Lewis Duncan and his family are now comfortably settled in Barker House, the new College residence for presidents and their families. A gift of Daryl Stamm ’53 and Francis H. “Frank” ’52 Barker, the residence was designed to complement other campus buildings and to provide a comfortable family home as well as gracious and functional areas for entertaining. The first floor features a guest area with an inviting living room enhanced by a large stone fireplace, a dining room for small dinners, a spacious kitchen, and a comfortable guest suite. Antiques and paintings representative of the College collection enhance the charm and carry the Rollins tradition into these areas. The second floor is devoted to private space for presidential families. Located at the east end of campus, Barker House is beautifully appointed with lawns, flower gardens, a loggia and courtyard, a lap pool, and a parking area. The construction was planned carefully for minimal environmental impact, with existing cypress trees preserved and new trees planted on the grounds.

New Release

FEARLESS GOLF By Gio Valiante Golf greats like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have observed that fear can turn even the most excellent athlete and professional golfer into jelly and dominate the games of most amateurs.

Assistant Professor of Education Gio Valiante, considered a pioneer in sports psychology, explores ways to overcome this obstacle in his new book, Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game, published by DoubleDay and Golf Digest.

The result of a five-year study of the minds of PGA Tour players, Fearless Golf examines the sources of an athlete’s fear, explaining the physiological and neurological impact of fear on performance. The book presents a groundbreaking program for conquering fear and its effects on performance. Valiante profiles champions such as Nicklaus, Woods, Tom Kit, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Ben Curtis, Davis Love III, Payne Stewart, and David Duval, documenting instances in which they were overcome by fear and the tricks they used to overcome it. These anecdotes show over and over how conquering the mental game allows players to push fear aside to become a better athlete.

Valiante has consulted numerous PGA Tour players, including Chad Campbell, Heath Slocum, Justin Leonard, Davis Love III, David Duval, Matt Kuchar, and Chris DiMarco. He is the mental game consultant to Golf Digest, The Golf Channel, and the University of Florida.

and N O W —By Jed Dunstan

Take a walk down memory lane and catch up on the current whereabouts and activities of your favotite Rollins professors.

Hoyt L. Edge

Robert S. Lemon, Jr.

Associate Dean of the Faculty and Hugh F. and Jeannette G. McKean Professor of Philosophy

Professor Emeritus of Art History

Hoyt Edge, who received his Ph.D. in philosophy at Vanderbilt University in 1970, has taught philosophy courses at Rollins for 35 years. In 2002, he made the switch from faculty to administrator when he accepted the position of associate dean of the faculty—“an ideal faculty position that gives me the best of both worlds,” he said. Edge now has a hand in developing programs while being an advocate for the faculty and maintaining his faculty status. He still conducts research, still has the opportunity to teach, and has more time to pursue other interests. Edge, who has taken several student groups to Bali to conduct research, continues to travel to the Indonesian island two to three weeks each year to conduct experiments on meditation. Back on campus, he finds special satisfaction in developing programs for Explorations, the umbrella program aimed at helping first-year students acclimate to college life. He is especially involved in Nexus, a program of “living-learning communities” in which students live and take classes together, and the Rollins Cornell Scholars program, a new mentoring and scholarship program designed to build students into future leaders.

When Bob Lemon accepted a position at Rollins College as an instructor of art in 1973, he had never even been to Winter Park.

Lemon grew up in Kansas City and earned a master’s degree in creative writing and a Ph.D. in comparative arts from Ohio University in 1969 and 1975, respectively. He found a permanent home at Rollins. Lemon served as chair of the art department for more than half of his 32 years of teaching at the College. An advocate of experiential teaching and service learning, Lemon led more than 14 student trips to Italy and Latin America. He found these trips affected his life as deeply as the lives of the students he was instructing. More often than not, Lemon would see students make more personal development in just a few weeks abroad than during the rest of the school year. During his tenure at Rollins, Lemon was very involved in numerous exhibitions at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum and the University of Florida’s Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art in Gainesville, helping to curate and catalog the works of various local artists. Today, Lemon still enjoys teaching and mentoring students working on their master’s theses, but on a part-time basis as he eases into retirement and works to perfect his tennis game.

In 2005, as he retired from full-time teaching, Lemon was honored with the title of professor emeritus of art history.

“Rollins to a great degree has been my passion. It has never been just a job for me. This has been my life’s work and I have been blessed to be here. During the past 35 years, I have seen Rollins change and progress in very positive ways. I have always found Rollins to be a supportive environment; a small liberal arts community that has given me an outlet for teaching in the broadest sense, not just in the classroom, but through participating in every aspect of campus life. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.” —Hoyt Edge

“I have always enjoyed the ease of communication between student and teacher that occurs in the small-college atmosphere. It is the informality of the student/teacher relationship that gives Rollins its strength. In developing these relationships over the years, I have always gained much joy from teaching and have embraced and appreciated my role as a teacher. Some of my most gratifying memories are the letters I received from students whom I had motivated from settling for a C to graduating as A students.”—Bob Lemon

The Upward Bound program at Rollins College has given more than 1,000 low-income students whose parents didn’t go to college a running start toward higher education. Now the future of the 1960s “War on Poverty” program is threatened.

Upward Bound student Roehm Hebert

O

n the night before she entered a college dormitory for the first time in the summer of 1995, Sheena Spencer was both excited and nervous. The rising freshman at Orlando’s Edgewater High School wore her best dress to the first day of Upward Bound at Rollins College.

“I was so nervous I couldn’t sleep the night before. It was a Saturday. I wanted to look so cute for the first day. As soon as I got to Rollins, students who’d been there before gave me a tour of the campus.

One person, my best friend’s brother, said, ‘I’m the head honcho. If you want anything, come to me.’”

Spencer and 64 other Upward Bound participants would spend the next six weeks at Rollins, living in residence halls, attending classes and academic counseling sessions, receiving four hours

of individual tutoring per week, and doing lots of homework. “It’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere,” Spencer said.

“There’s time for recreation around campus, but there’s a lot of work, too.

You have to learn time management. It helped transition me into college and dorm life.”

Upward Bound is considered—by participants, staff, and independent observers—to be one of the most successful educational-opportunity programs of the last half century, in no small part because of its focus. The federal law that funds Upward Bound requires that two-thirds of the participants must be from families deemed lowincome by the government and have parents who did not graduate from college; one-third may meet one of those criteria.

Once selected (usually after eighth

grade and no later than 10th grade), participants attend a six-week summer session designed to “get them on track” for college. The students are introduced to a college atmosphere, attend six classes a day modeled after college-level classes, work with counselors on SAT and scholarship applications, and work on their communication and leadership skills. During the school year, they attend Saturday tutoring sessions. A “bridge program” offered during the summer between high school and college gives program graduates the opportunity to take two college-level classes, tuitionfree, at the Hamilton Holt School.

Dave Plotkin, who has taught English classes at Rollins, has worked with Upward Bound for three years—first as an English tutor, then as a counselor, and now as program coordinator. “I spend a good

deal of time explaining to people what it’s not,” said Plotkin. “Parents of prospective participants ask me if the program is for students who are academically challenged or specifically for minority students, neither of which is true.

Students need to understand that it’s a program meant to introduce academic rigor, not a fun or social program. But we’ve been around for long enough that many students know about us from siblings and friends. We get more applicants each year than the 65 openings, and we lose only about six or seven students each year.”

More than 1,000 students have participated in Rollins’ Upward Bound program since it was founded in 1980.

There have been few dropouts, and not only have more than 80 percent gone on to college, but every one of the 2005 graduates will attend a fouryear college.

The Upward Bound experience can be life transforming. Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett attended one of the state’s earliest programs, the Upward

Bound program at the University of South Florida in Tampa, launched in 1966. Raised by a single mother in St. Petersburg, Bassett traveled with Upward Bound to Washington, where she saw James Earl Jones perform on stage in Of Mice and Men, and, “fell in love with acting on the spot,” as Media General News Service correspondent Gil Klein ’72 has written. Bassett went to Yale University on a full scholarship, earning a bachelor’s degree in AfricanAmerican studies and going on for a master’s degree in drama.

“I don’t think she would have gone to college without Upward Bound,” her mother, Betty Bassett, told Klein. “She came back from Washington very excited.

Because of that program, her interests and education were elevated.”

Katie Brinson also had her interests elevated. A shy Edgewater High School freshman when she was selected for Rollins’ Upward Bound program, Brinson discovered a new passion during the summer program: student government. “I was always academically inclined, but I

“It’s not really that hard to get into college if you have ability. But a lot of minority students slip through the cracks just from negligence. If you don’t know the rules of the game, you won’t win. Well, we’re making sure that kids with ability learn the rules.”

—Sheena Spencer

was too docile,” Brinson recalls. “That started to change when I began to speak up for the group, volunteer for some assignments, lead and delegate others, plan extracurricular activities. By the time I was through Upward Bound, I was a totally different person.”

Brinson became involved in school government at Edgewater, went on to Florida State University to earn a degree in industrial engineering, and will graduate from the University of Florida School of Law in December. She is interning at a law firm in Tampa where she hopes to work after passing the bar exam.

“Katie and I met in Upward Bound,” Sheena Spencer said, “and now we’re going to be friends for life. Most of the participants make friendships like that here.”

W

ould Katie Brinson, Sheena Spencer, and the others have successfully made the transition from high school to college to professional careers without Upward Bound? That question is at the center of a political fight over Upward Bound’s continued existence.

Upward Bound was authorized in 1964 as part of Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty.” Within a couple of years, that campaign included other programs (the first three have been known ever since as TRIO) designed to help disadvantaged students go to college. There are now 770 Upward Bound projects with some 68,000 participants throughout the U.S., the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands.

Upward Bound is funded under the Higher Education Act of 1965, which will expire this year unless renewed by Congress. The Bush administration wants to eliminate the program and use its $313-million budget to expand the No Child Left Behind program into high schools.

Although Upward Bound has been restored in the College Access and Opportunity Act (HR 609) now in committee, the new law contains a “Novice Provision” that would permit as much as 10 percent of each year’s funding to be awarded to new programs, reducing funding to existing programs.

Ironically, the program’s focus on students who are disadvantaged but likely to succeed is one reason that the program was rated “deficient” by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Upward Bound was faulted for its atten-

tion to students whose college prospects are good. U.S. department of Education budget director Thomas Skelly cited the Department’s opinion that there are better uses for the (l-r) Kiana Sharp, Alangé Foster, and biology teacher Lourdes Hilson funds.

Class Consciousness

It’s not often one attaches the word “popular” to the words “dying” and “death.”

But Rollins’ bioethics course Death and Dying is the most popular class on campus, with a waiting list 40 students deep.

BY LEIGH BROWN PERKINS

10 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

I

t’s standard at registration for Professor of Communication Marvin Newman to receive at least one tearful appeal by a senior desperate to enroll in his course Death and Dying before graduation. There are supposed to be 17 students on the roster; usually it’s closer to 25. For many, the course is the intellectual highlight of the Rollins experience.

So how does a class about the end of life strike such a chord with 21-year-olds?

“I have taken almost every course Dr. Newman teaches at Rollins,” said Yvette Ashley McKibbin ’05. “I would have taken them all but I ran out of time. Death and Dying was my favorite because it deals with a subject that is often dreaded and feared, but we must all deal with one day in our lives. It should be a required course.”

Stephanie Cohen Lyons ’95 says it is the teacher, not just the topic, that elevates the class. “Dr. Newman has a presence about him,” she said. “He communicates directly with his students on a level that allows them to take theory, philosophy, and opinions and make them something tangible. He takes it from the realm of intellectual into reality.”

Newman, who created and has been teaching the class for more than 30 years, says the name of the course is really just good marketing. “I tell the kids on the first day that the title of the class is wrong because what I want them to come out with is living a good and ethical life. It’s really all about life and living, not death and dying.”

At its core, though, the course is about examining such complex issues as the treatment of the terminally ill, euthanasia, suicide, and capital punishment. Newman says he is a facilitator, not a lecturer. Discussion is the lifeblood of the class. There are no right or wrong answers, but plenty of questions.

Students sit face to face at a long table.

No one raises a hand; blurting out is the preferred method of joining in. There is never a multiple-choice test. Mid-terms and finals are two-hour essay exams on a sensitive ethical subject.

“Their grade is never dependent on the answer,” Newman said. “Their grade is based on whether they’ve asked all of the questions they could ask about the topic, including ideas opposed to their own. They have to reason through the decision in a deep, thoughtful way.”

Asking probing questions about dying seems like a tough sell. And when Newman proposed the idea of the course in the late ’60s, the administration wasn’t buying.

“Who would want to attend such a class?” he was asked.

But Newman knew students had an interest. They had already been discussing questions like “When is life over?” and “Who gets to decide?” as a classmate who had recently been in an auto accident was being kept alive on a respirator. This was brand-new, cutting-edge equipment then, and Newman, whose lifelong interest has been the ethical issues that arise from technology, was fascinated by it.

“All the medical people were excited about the fact that his heart was beating, even though his brain was dead,” said Newman, noting that the young man did pass on when his parents had the respirator removed. “Here was technology that could keep you alive, but to what end? Not a medical school in the country was asking this question. After a long uphill battle, Rollins decided to let me teach it as a topics course for one term. It became so popular that it’s been taught every year since then.”

Over the decades, medical advances like gene therapy and media events like the Terri Schiavo case have breathed new life into the topics covered by Death and Dying.

Cloning, stem-cell research, surrogacy, suicide terrorism, organ transplants, and the role of government, religion, and the individual in such matters are central to the discussion today. Newman said it’s tough to cover such a broad, shifting subject in a single semester.

Students read law cases and a variety of other source material, such as texts about grieving by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, essays by the Holocaust philosopher Elie Wiesel and passages from Plato, Socrates, and the Bible.

They also read fiction like The Elephant Man, which explores the ideas of human suffering and the will to live.

Lyons, who is assistant general counsel for Memorial Healthcare System, credits Death and Dying with giving her a road map to her career. The daughter of a physician, Lyons knew she did not want to be a doctor herself, but she was challenged by the ethical dilemmas presented in Newman’s class. “It was an excellent avenue to combine my interest in medicine with the laws concerning life-and-death decisions. The course material and the views I developed laid the groundwork for the decisions I make for real people on a daily basis in my present position.”

It is real people, not just case studies, that enlivens today’s Death and Dying experience.

It has become a service-learning course, requiring students to work with patients who are actually living through the very topics Newman introduces. Many students work with the terminally ill at Hospice or take sick kids to meet their sports heroes through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Others visit patients and their families in local cancer centers. Students must devote a minimum of 20 hours a semester to working with patients—no clerical jobs allowed.

McKibbin completed her service requirement with Give Kids The World, which funds Walt Disney World vacations for families with terminally ill children.

It changed her life.

She met a boy there named Lucas. Three years prior, Lucas’s doctors had told him that he would die within months. But Lucas had two life goals: one, to graduate high school (which he did), and two, to make it to

with little kids battling stage-IV cancer, quietly chatting with distraught parents or comforting bereaved siblings.

Newman, who has four daughters and 10 grandchildren, will take a sabbatical next year to complete a book about how children react to their own terminal illness. It appears that they are much more accepting and calm than adults in the same situation, he said. The book’s goal is to improve communication with dying patients.

Another book in the works is on the ethics of suicide.

A graduate of Northwestern University Law School, Newman has written three previous books and dozens of papers on legal ethics. He serves on the ethics committees of several hospitals, including Orlando Regional Medical Center, the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children & Women, and MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando. His

“I tell the kids the first day that the title of the class is wrong because what I want them to come out with is living a good and ethical life. It’s really all about life and living, not death and dying.”—Marvin Newman Disney World (which he also did, thanks to Give Kids The World).

“It was not intellect, charisma, or luck that postponed his death,” said McKibbin, who is a first-year law student at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville. “It was his perseverance and motivation. His story has given me the inspiration and confidence that I need to enter law school and complete my ambitions of upholding justice and affecting lives.”

Lucas died two weeks after visiting the Magic Kingdom.

“I quote Elie Wiesel: ‘To save one person is to save the world,’” Newman said. “I want students to realize that having a fulfilled life is caring about others, helping others, and you can’t teach that in a classroom. They have to go out and experience it.”

And once they have, many are reluctant to let it go. Newman has compiled the stats: 65 percent of Death and Dying students continue volunteering even after their obligation to the course has been fulfilled.

Some students have given up luxurious European vacations to stay on with their organizations, or have passed on a paying summer job to continue serving ice cream at a camp for kids with leukemia.

Newman knows firsthand why looking into the faces of terminal patients is so profound. Like his students, he is often bedside in local hospitals, becoming pals

commendations at Rollins include the Decoration of Honor (the College’s highest award), the Arthur Vining Davis Fellowship, the Hugh and Jeannette McKean Grant, and the Crummer School’s Outstanding Professor Award (14 times).

Newman is perhaps best known outside of the Rollins community for his passionate advocacy of legalizing euthanasia in the United States. He has traveled to the Netherlands, where euthanasia is legal, to witness physician-assisted suicides and has testified in Dutch court on behalf of a clinically depressed woman who was seeking the court’s approval for medically administered suicide. He has written dozens of briefs on the topic, but is careful never to use his own materials in class.

“My students will never know how I feel about physician-assisted suicide unless they go out of their way to find out,” he said.

Despite his popularity, posts, and publications, Newman says his highest achievement is helping his students think beyond their own beliefs.

“The greatest compliment I can ever have is when a student tells me, ‘I’m hopelessly confused and I don’t know what I believe any more.’ If you’re sure about everything, then I’m not doing my job. When they’re through with the course, they shouldn’t have all the answers, but they should know how to ask a lot of questions.” ■ FALL 2005 11

IMPACT: Arts

The arts community at Rollins has a storied past, with a cast of characters ranging from author Rex Beach to actress Annie Russell to television's Fred Rogers. Today’s players in literature, theater, and film are writing the next scene for Florida as a state of the arts.

the anthologist When his “Florida Sweet” project required definitive source material on the state’s literature, composer Daniel Flick turned to the expert, Rollins’ Kenneth Curry Professor of Literature, Maurice “Socky” O’Sullivan. The Orlando Philharmonic violinist and composer found just what he needed in O'Sullivan’s Florida in Poetry: A History of the Imagination and The Florida Reader: Visions of Paradise from 1530 to the Present. O’Sullivan edited the first with Jane Anderson Jones, Manatee Community College professor of English and humanities, and the second with Jack Lane, his teaching colleague and Rollins professor emeritus. Only a few of the titles in the long list of O’Sullivan’s publications, these books contribute to his national reputation as the foremost authority on Florida literature.

Co-director of both the Florida Center for Shakespeare Studies and the Drey Summer

Shakespeare Institute, O’Sullivan serves as chair of Rollins’ English department and 2006-07 president-elect of the national College English Association. He has published extensively on literature, Florida, popular culture, Shakespeare, religion, education, and current events. Among the varied honors he’s received are the Florida College English Association’s 2003 Colleague of the Year Award and the 2005 Bornstein Award for Faculty Scholarship at Rollins.

“Whether Socky is facilitating a panel of authors discussing Florida literature, authoring a book on the subject, or leading a teachers’ seminar that examines the concept of the ‘Florida Dream,’ he brings passion for his subject, refreshing insights, a wealth of information, and a spirit of joy to the inquiry,” said Susan Lockwood, director of grants for the Florida Humanities Council (FHC), the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

“His scholarship has informed and expanded the field of Florida literary studies.”

Twenty-five years ago, FHC approached O’Sullivan and Lane to work in the field of Florida literature and help provide new residents with a cultural identity. The invitation resulted in The Florida Reader (Pineapple Press, 1991).

Winner of the 1992 Charlton Tebeau Book Award for worthy literature documenting the state’s history, the book is recognized for initiating the Florida Studies movement. “At the time, there was a profound ambivalence about Florida.

FHC realized that if it could help people to identify with their adopted state, they’d be more able to solve its problems,” O’Sullivan said.

“When I grew up in Jersey City, my teachers routinely passed on stories that drew on our town’s history. Since half of Florida’s teachers weren’t born here, that sort of anecdotal information, so critical to students’ socialization, is unavailable for them to impart in the classroom.

Part of what Jack and I did was to provide teachers with source material that defined Florida literature culturally and historically. As a result, more people began to take it seriously.”

O’Sullivan also lectures widely on topics far removed from Florida, such as Shakespeare, British art, and Irish culture. An expert on film and mystery novels, his Crime Fiction and Film in the Sunshine State: Florida Noir, co-edited with Steve Glassman, was selected as an Edgar finalist by the Mystery Writers of America in 1998. His fascination with mysteries came about FALL 2005 15

as an outgrowth of Florida Studies. “Through invitations to workshops, I noticed how many of the Florida authors were mystery writers,” he said. “The most interesting of these were transforming the genre. They shifted the heart of darkness in America from the ‘City of Angels’ to Miami.”

However multidisciplinary and influential his pursuits may be, O’Sullivan remains first and foremost an educator. “The role of teachers is to open doors,” he said simply, regarding his vocation. His former student and advisee Renee Stone ’85 won both a Rhodes Scholarship and a Truman Scholarship under his tutelage. “Dr. O’Sullivan took it upon himself to help me prepare the applications and to prepare for the inter-views,” Stone said. “I always did very well in school, but as a first-generation college student, I also always felt a little like I was stumbling around in the dark. It meant the world to me to have someone help me navigate all that, with wit, with an open door, with high expectations.

I am quite certain I would not have taken those first steps on my own. I did not know those doors existed. I did not know I could open them and walk through. I did not know that I wanted to.”—Nancy Shelton ’00 ’04MLS

the leading lady Peg O’Keef ’81 has directed, acted and produced in virtually every theatrical venue in Central Florida. A founder of Orlando’s Theatre Downtown, she has recently enjoyed a triumphant season starring in productions of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night, Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood, Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, and Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. Her performances have received uniformly superlative reviews, both critical and popular.

O’Keef was recognized by the Orlando Sentinel as “A Person to Watch” in its annual arts supplement, was profiled in Florida Magazine’s “A Few Minutes With…” column, and was twice selected as Orlando’s best actor in Orlando Weekly reader polls (1996 and 2001). Her film experience includes soundstage 16 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

management at Chapman/Leonard’s East Coast facility, on-screen projects with experimental filmmaker Tag Purvis, specialized work with Hazan Films, and an extensive history with both Enzian Theatrer and the Florida Film Festival in various roles.

“I credit my Rollins education as the most important source of what keeps me creative,” O’Keef said. “In fact, it is the bedrock of my world view. I learned to study deeply in my discipline but, perhaps more importantly, to look outside my discipline for the authentic material of creation. I learned to take risks and to actively engage my subject matter. I was encouraged to be bold and to dig deeply—to appreciate both the subtle and the powerful.”

In July, O’Keef stepped down from her position as Enzian Theater’s executive director to pursue some of her other passions. Having taught previously at Valencia Community College and for five years at Rollins as a visiting assistant professor of theatre arts, she was “chomping at the bit” to return to teaching.

She is back at her alma mater this fall, team teaching Introduction to Liberal Studies: Identity in Art & Literature for the Hamilton Holt School.

When asked to choose between acting and teaching, O’Keef answered that her favorite endeavor exists in the area where the two intersect. “There’s this phenomenon that happens in both,” she said. “A light comes on in people’s faces when an outside stimulus allows them to encounter their sweet and gentle spirits.” She describes the experience by explaining her custom of taking neighborhood walks during winter to peek at the holiday decorations in strangers' homes. “What happens in my relationship with the theater audience is the same with the students in my classroom. In each safe haven, I am privileged to witness their holiday hearts, their best selves, their humanity. In the midst of all that is my opportunity to make a positive contribution.” —Nancy Shelton ’00 ’04MLS

the producer Jody Kielbasa ’80 made the journey from Rollins to Sarasota by way of Los Angeles. The native Floridian’s exposure to theater at the College had altered his career plans. The history major acted in a play every year, starting as a freshman with a small part in Romeo and Juliet and as a senior landing the lead in The Merchant of Venice. “My Rollins education shaped so much of who I am, how I communicate, and how I interact with people,” said Kielbasa, whose family includes his wife, Helen, 3-yearold daughter, Camille, and infant son, Luke. “I use it every day.”

After earning a BA in history at Rollins, a BFA in theater at Florida State University, and an MFA in acting at the FSU Aslo Center for Actors Training in Sarasota, Kielbasa promptly traveled to Los Angeles, where he landed a small part on the soap opera Santa Barbara, in addition to roles in commercials and films. He spent several years struggling as an actor, and then founded the Florida Theatre Connection, an organization of actors, writers, and theater students who had relocated from Florida to Los Angeles, and opened the Tamarind Theatre in the shadow of the famous Hollywood sign.

The Tamarind attracted Rollins graduates, who had the opportunity to mingle with such celebrities as former President Ronald Reagan and actors Warren Beatt and Annette Bening.

Inadvertently, Kielbasa, who had hoped to invigorate his acting career with the Tamarind, instead became a theatrical producer. His small business earned a reputation as one of the bestknown intimate theaters in L.A. In 1995, Kielbasa returned to Sarasota,

where he worked first as director of development for the FSU/Asolo Conservatory and then for two years as producing artistic director of American Stage in St. Petersburg, where he often worked with Bill Leavengood ’82. Then, in 1998, he was hired to start the Sarasota Film Festival (SFF).

Kielbasa’s experience as a producer, coupled with the close friends and industry ties he had made on the West Coast, helped him tremendously in his new role. He founded the SFF as a balanced festival of foreign, domestic, independent, and studio films. What began in January of 1999 as a “mini-festival” composed of eight feature films has grown into a prestigious, 10-day event featuring some 150 narrative, documentary, and short films in programs such as Women’s Voices, World Cinema, Family Films, Industry Spotlight, and Independent Visions. The 2005 Festival drew more than 38,000 guests and involved a host of celebrities, including Peter Falk, Paul Reiser, Rutger Hauer, Leslie Caron, and Senator George McGovern.

In May, SFF promoted “Yes You Cannes,” a privately chartered fundraising cruise to the Cannes Film Festival aboard the Seabourn Legend. The wildly successful event combined an educational voyage with an opportunity for organizers to become better acquainted with SFF Board members. “It was great fun,” Kielbasa said of the dream trip that had stops in Cannes, Monte Carlo, Portofino, Florence, and Rome.

But the SFF is more than just glamor and fun. “The festival makes a significant economic and artistic impact,” Kielbasa said. “We introduce people to films they’d never see otherwise. So many people often think of movies as just entertainment. They don’t recognize that film is an art form—and art is the fabric of our society. It defines who we are.”

Rollins College’s environmental studies program now has two decades of graduates. But the College’s tradition of inspiring students to protect, promote, and preserve Florida’s natural state has an even longer history.

Here, a visit with a professor and some alumni who make an environmental impact every day.

the visionary Mention an unspoiled paradise with lush tropical vegetation where peacocks roam freely, and most Rollins alumni will instantly think of the old Genius property across Lake Virginia. Most of the peacocks are gone now, and this once-pristine land is threatened increasingly by surrounding development.

Enter Bruce Stephenson, professor of environmental studies. He has made the study and rejuvenation of this parcel his mission. A 45-acre reserve on Lake Virginia in Winter Park, the Genius property has become not only the focus of Stephenson's research, but also a classroom for Rollins students. Already, students in environmental studies and growth management have mapped the property, identified nine areas to work with, and begun

clearing exotic foliage. More than 30 dumpsters full of non-native species have been cleared so that native plants and trees can grow again.

Students planted more than $15,000 worth of plants to replace the non-native species they removed. An old orange grove on the property will soon be harvested for the first time in years.

While the immediate results of this work are evident, the long-term products are students with a deeper understanding of environmental restoration and conservation. The work they are doing now will provide for years of natural laboratories, outdoor classrooms, and natural Florida habitats. According to Stephenson, the property eventually may be used to teach local elementary school children about architecture, landscaping, and citrus.

The Genius Reserve project is just one of FALL 2005 17

several ways in which Stephenson is working to protect Florida’s natural environment.

Much of the focus of his research in recent years has been on “New Urbanism,” a concept in urban planning that strives for more efficient use of space and pedestrianfriendly environments in an effort to limit road-ridden urban sprawl.

Florida has become home to more New Urbanist projects than any other state in the country, and Stephenson has had input in a number of these, including the cities of Winter Park, Winter Springs, and St. Petersburg. “For Orlando and Florida to prosper, we must divorce ourselves from a 1950s approach to transportation,” Stephenson commented. “Existential road rage does not attract investors; quality of life does. Road building must proceed, but it must be integrated into a system of light rail, commuter trains, buses, bicycle paths, and sidewalks to ensure pedestrian safety and activity.”

Stephenson, who is active with the 1,400member Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), explained that the compact communities developed under the ideals of New Urbanism, with safe access to parks, schools, and shopping, will benefit not only residents, but also developers. “Allowing citizens between the ages of 7 and 87 to navigate their communities will reduce auto trips and lessen our dependence on foreign oil,” he said. “This will require getting out of the car, but in return we can embrace a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future.”

Stephenson practices what he preaches.

While he owns a Honda Civic, it’s 10 years old—with only 65,000 miles on the odometer. He rides his bicycle everywhere possible.

“Citizenship is not measured by the goods we possess, but the good we do,” he said.

“And citizenship requires sacrifice.”

the writer Peggy Sias Lantz ’55, a nature writer for more than 40 years, could hardly help but become an environmentalist. Every view from her grandparents’ home was a lesson in Florida’s natural beauty. It’s a view that has stayed with her—literally.

For more than two decades, she and husband James have lived on that same picturesque piece of land in Woodsmere, Florida. So, she not only remembers where, as a little girl, she spotted her first scarlet tanager, she can actually step out into her yard and stand next to the very tree. She not only remembers learning to swim in Lake Lucy as a 4-year-old, she can walk to the edge of her property and dive into the lake. She not only has wonderful memories of visiting her grandparents at the property, she is creating similar memories for her own grandchildren, who visit her there each year.

“It’s a gorgeous place, wooded and secluded and surrounded by what I love. It’s enveloped with native plants, plus a few exotics I’ll spend the rest of my life pulling out,” Sias Lantz said.

Her family’s connection to this woodland paradise dates back to 1914, when her grandfather moved to Central Florida from Sioux City, Iowa, and built the first house on Lake Lucy. Sias Lantz, who was born in Miami and raised in Massachusetts, often visited her grandparents there. Her parents built a new house on the family's property in 1970. Sias Lantz and her husband, who have four grown children and five grandchildren, returned to Woodsmere in 1979, and when her parents passed on, the family home became theirs.

“I don’t plan to leave, ever,” she said.

Her deep sense of place inspires her passion for Florida nature writing. In the ’80s and early ’90s she was editor of The Florida Naturalist, published by the Florida Audubon Society, and The Palmetto, published by the Florida Native Plant Society. She has edited and co-authored several books, including Florida’s Incredible Wild Edibles.

Sias Lantz was a confident writer even as a child, but she credits her Rollins composition professor, Dr. Starr, with fine-turning her style.

As a music education major, she was an avid concert goer, but found herself overwhelmed by the number of musical offerings on campus.

So, she took it upon herself to publish The Sounding Board, a listing of all the live shows in Winter Park.

Today, she is best known for her children’s books, The Young Naturalist’s Guide to Florida and The Florida Water Story, essential reading for grade-school nature lovers, scouts, and eco-minded visitors to the state. Though they’re written in a friendly, smart, let’s-see-whatwe-find tone, they pack a powerful message.

“There will never be any more water than there is right now and we’re poisoning it at a prodigious rate,” Sias Lantz said. “We’ve got to start paying attention to what we do as individuals.”

Sias Lantz lives by her words. She drives a hybrid car. She has a solar water heater. She does not water or fertilize her yard. She carries reusable canvas bags to the grocery store. She serves on conservation boards. She believes new water parks should be outlawed, that phosphorous in fertilizers should be banned, and that developers should be required to limit the size of lawns to no more than 10 percent of what’s left beyond a new home’s footprint.

“I can’t force people to do what I think is right for the environment,” she said. “But I do what I can. My practicing is my best preaching.”—Leigh Brown Perkins

the fixer Amy Massey ’91 gets the prize for having the coolest jobs ever. Her first post after graduation from Rollins was SCUBA divemaster in the Florida Keys. Now she is a coral reef biologist, still out on a boat and in the water almost daily. To add insult to those of us stuck behind desks, after receiving her degree she spent a year hanging out in Costa Rica to surf and dive.

How did a girl from York, Pennsylvania carve out such an enviable seaside career?

“The ocean has always been my passion,” she said. “I took my first SCUBA open-water course at Rollins and I was immediately turned on by it. Everything just took off from there.”

Massey learned to snorkel at the age of 3 on a family vacation in John Pennekamp State Park, on the same reef where she would pilot dive boats after college. She learned to surf at 6. Even so, she never imagined she would one day make her living on those very waters.

“I was floundering at Rollins—having a great time, but with no direction,” she said.

“Somehow, I ended up in Barry Allen’s basic environmental studies class and it all just kind of clicked.”

Her environmental studies degree helped her land her present position as damage assessment and restoration biologist for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in Key Largo, which is a shared operation for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. She oversees almost 2,800 square miles of coral reef and is the go-to person when any part of it is damaged.

Boat groundings are her primary concern.

Up to 600 groundings are reported in the Keys each year. Some are catastrophic, such as the three freighter groundings that killed acres of coral in the late ’80s (which prompted the U.S. government to finally declare the entire Florida Keys a protected marine sanctuary).

Massey is usually second on the scene after law enforcement. She assesses the level of damage (often in mask and snorkel), measures the physical impact of the wound to the coral, and files a report so that suits in Washington can fine the responsible parties, who must then pay contractors to repair the damage.

But in smaller cases—say when a guy from Ohio in a 20-foot Mako drops anchor where he’s not supposed to—she is actually the one who goes into the water to fix the broken coral.

“Coral does respond well to our repair techniques,” she said. “There are grounding sites that we’ve put back together and you can’t even tell where the damage was.”

Massey once received the ultimate validation for her efforts from Jean-Michel Cousteau, world-renowned ocean explorer (and son of the legend Jacques Cousteau, Massey’s childhood hero). Cousteau happened

to be in Key Largo and Massey was giving him a tour of the reef under her care. She showed Cousteau a section of coral badly damaged in a ship grounding, which she had personally repaired. The coral was once again thriving. “He was almost in tears,” she said.

“He said he was so moved to see young people doing this kind of work to protect coral reefs. It was an amazing moment in my life to know that someone like him thinks the work I’m doing is important.”—Leigh Brown Perkins

the negotiator Elizabeth Johnson Arnold ’86 says protecting Florida’s environment is a game of trade-offs.

Her job is to make sure that wetlands and wildlife are never on the losing end of that game.

“Development is not going to slow down in Florida because there is just too much money to be made,” said Johnson Arnold, who is supervisor of natural resources for the Orange County Environmental Protection Division. “I have to make sure that development is carefully planned. People either value the intangible, intrinsic value of the environment or they don’t. Not all land owners and developers are careless, of course, but I make sure that even those who don’t value the environment at least take care of it.”

Avalon Park is the perfect example of Johnson Arnold’s negotiating skills on behalf of nature. In the early 1990s, it was a 6,000acre undeveloped tract in Central Florida, thriving with wildlife and sparkling tributaries.

Now part of it is a subdivision. But before the developer could break ground on even one house, it was up to Johnson Arnold and her staff to go into the field, establish where wetlands existed, which lands were too sensitive to be touched, where the wildlife could go.

The fact that a 2,800-acre portion of the original 6,000 acres of untouched land is now a subdivision is bittersweet for Johnson Arnold, but she’s realistic about the process.

“Landowners got to develop this piece of property but they were required to set aside about half of it. Now, that doesn’t make everything a wash, but it’s a fair trade-off—it met the rules and has some benefit for the envirinment,” she said. “You can’t be Green Peace about everything. You can’t look at it as all development is bad, that bulldozers are evil.

You can be passionate about the environment and still work in the real world.”

The real world for Johnson Arnold, who was among the first Rollins grads to major in environmental studies, means overseeing all bodies of water in Orange County and having a detailed understanding of the laws that protect them. One day she may be taking aerial photos to forensically resurrect where wetlands used to be prior to development or donning waders to take water samples. Another day may find her suited up for a meeting to hash out the fate of budget items or gopher tortoises—or that of a prospective intern (often from Rollins).

Johnson Arnold, who spent 16 years as a regulatory scientist with the St. Johns River Water Management District, works under the pressure of knowing that she could be called to defend any case in court.

But she’s never considered working on the other side of the bargaining table.

“I know I could easily make six figures in the private sector, but I don’t want to work that hard for something I don’t believe in. When I wake up in the morning, I can’t wait to get to work. I have a lot of pride in knowing I have been able to make a difference in Central Florida. And I like to think it will be a lasting difference.” —Leigh Brown Perkins

the optimist Steffenie Widows ’03 is a young scientist with the optimism only a 20-something college graduate can radiate.

“Instead of thinking that I can’t, as one person, do anything,” she said, “I decided that I was going to help solve the world’s environmental crisis.”

academe—are leading her closer to her purpose. Her first move was to major in environmental studies at Rollins, grabbing all of the opportunities afforded by that program, most notably trips to developing countries to witness the global environmental problem up close. She traveled to the rain forests of Costa Rica, to Dominica in the Caribbean, to the Peruvian Amazon, and to the Dominican Republic.

Her senior year, she interned at Wekiwa Springs State Park. While there, she learned that AmeriCorps—the national service organization—was looking for college grads in Central Florida, so she went to work at Lake Louisa State Park, getting firsthand experience with resource management and habitat restoration.

Last year, Widows was hired as an environmental scientist for the engineering firm VHB in Orlando. She delineates wetlands so that developers are in compliance with government regulations.

The career switch has created an obvious conflict of interest: Most developers are concerned with saving only the legal bare minimum of wetlands, a hard reality for a save-the-world optimist. But working in the field has been valuable experience and, hopefully, it will fund the next stage of her journey: pursuing her master’s and doctor degrees to become an environmental studies professor. Widows, who grew up in Winter Park, plans to apply to graduate school after completing additional coursework in conservation biology at the University of Central Florida.

“Rollins professor Lee Lines has been such a wonderful mentor to me,” she said. “I know the kind of impact one great teacher can have on the future.”

Politics makes strange bedfellows sometimes, but also interesting careers. Legislators and law enforcers, lobbyists and lawyers, the following individuals have found their place in Florida’s political scene.

the commentator When Professor Rick Foglesong’s book Married to the Mouse, about the relationship between Walt Disney World and Orlando, was released in 2001, it quickly became a hot media topic. The facts in this widely acclaimed, wellresearched book about the corporate giant whose name brings warm fuzzies to the hearts of people worldwide didn’t necessarily paint a fairyland picture. But it did enlighten people about the political complexities of this unique relationship between city and corporation.

Now, Foglesong is writing another book that is sure to create another

media blitz: a biography of Mel Martinez, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in President George W. Bush’s cabinet, who last year became the first Cuban American ever elected to the United States Senate. Martinez came to the U.S. from Cuba at the age of 15 as part of “Operation Peter Pan,” a humanitarian program led by the Catholic Church that helped more than 14,000 children escape Cuba. “I received Senator Martinez’s full cooperation to write this biography,” Foglesong said. “It is going to reach a large audience on a local, national, and international level and I can’t wait to share his incredible story.”

The book is scheduled for release in 2006.

Foglesong’s passion for politics was sparked during his senior year in college, when he spent a semester in Washington, D.C. through the Washington Semester Program at American University. It was a life-changing experience that forever steered his career path. “I knew after that program, which involved seminars with senators, Supreme Court justices, lobbyists, and more, that I had a love for politics,” Foglesong said.

More than 35 years later, as George D. and Harriet W. Cornell Professor of Politics at Rollins, Foglesong still has that same love for politics and is passing that passion on to his political science students—some of whom he’s been able to send to Washington to take part in the same program that so inspired him years ago.

Over the past 21 years at Rollins, Foglesong has had the opportunity to teach more than 1,000 students and watch many of them pursue careers in politics. “As a political scientist, I hope to educate students for responsible citizenship,” he shared.

“Educating students for citizenship is not about promoting your political point of view. Rather, it is about trying to help them acquire the trilogy of knowledge, attitude, and skills that are necessary for them to become good and productive citizens. I always want to look back and know that I made important contributions to the lives of students.” Foglesong hopes students go into the real world understanding that politics should be less about using the platform to present partisan views and more about appreciating politics as way in which society makes choices for itself.

Equal to Foglesong’s love for teaching is his love for writing. His first book, Planning the Capitalist City, a history of American urban planning published by Princeton University Press, appeared in 1986, and he has published a second book on the politics of economic policy, in addition to numerous articles and opinion editorials. He particularly enjoys writing for a larger audience about local people and topics and sees his biography of Senator Martinez as a continuation

of the Florida focus that began with Married to the Mouse.

A trusted expert to whom media outlets turn when they need a credible quote or interview, Foglesong averages a request a week from print publications and TV and radio stations to talk on a variety of political topics. Even while in Hong Kong teaching as a Fulbright Scholar in 2002-03, he was asked by the media to comment on how Hong Kong Disneyland, which opened in September 2005, might affect the Chinese city-state. “I feel an obligation as a scholar and a political scientist to educate beyond the classroom. If you have perspective on a subject, you should share it,” said Foglesong, who also spends time each month talking to various civic organizations, Chambers of Commerce, and retirement communities.

So, does this political scientist have any political aspirations of his own? “I can speak to a crowd of 1,000 people with no problem, but the one time I ran for office, I realized I was uncomfortable with door-to-door campaigning,” Foglesong said. “I believe I’m happier educating about the political arena than I would be working in it.”

the commish Few people who meet Barbara Doolittle Auger ’89, a big-time Tallahassee attorney and mother of two, would ever guess that she knows her way around a boxing ring.

But she is, in fact, the state of Florida’s only female boxing commissioner.

“Some of my friends think it’s hysterical,” said Auger, who was appointed by Governor

Jeb Bush to the fivemember commission two years ago, “but I take it very seriously. We are there to protect the health and safety of the fighters and also to protect the integrity of the sport. I am very interested in those kinds of policies.”

Auger’s career has included private legal practice and top leadership positions with two state agencies—the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Florida Department of Management Services. After leaving her last government post, she returned to private practice. One of her clients happened to be the Florida State Boxing Commission. She learned the rules and regulations of the sport and, of course, the right people.

With those credentials, it’s not surprising at all that she would sit on the Boxing Commission. In addition to that role, she is an attorney with Bryant, Miller & Olive, P.A., working in their newly formed governmental regulations department. She represents private companies wanting to do business with government, helping with contract negations, licensing, and regulatory issues.

Auger’s penchant for leadership started early.

At Rollins, she was presented with the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award for character and service (also awarded to her father and her husband—“A family tradition, I guess!”).

After graduating from Rollins with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and communications, Auger, who grew up in Lighthouse Point in Florida’s Broward County, completed her juris doctor degree with honors at Florida State University.

Attending Rollins, she said, was predestined.

“Both of my parents went to Rollins and I wanted to attend a small liberal arts college in a warm climate.” It didn’t hurt that her

FALL 2005 21

high school sweetheart, Stephen Auger ’88, was also going to Rollins.

Steve, who was recently appointed Executive Director of Florida Housing by Governor Bush, and Barbara are now married with two sons, Jack (11) and Jeff (9), who keep their parents busy cheering on football fields, basketball courts, and baseball diamonds in Tallahassee. The busy Auger, a graduate of Leadership Tallahassee, somehow manages to also find the time to serve on the Rollins College Alumni Association Board of Directors.

“I can say that I am very proud of my children, my marriage, and the balance I have created with my professional life and my family life,” Auger said. “I am very proud to have worked for Gov. Jeb Bush during his first term and to have played a role in his legacy.”—Leigh Brown Perkins and Ann Marie Varga ’82

the lobbyist For Robert “Bob” Boyd ’85, life seems to have come full circle. Born in Milwaukee, Boyd is the son of a lawyer and lobbyist and an active mom who served as a campaign manager in countless local elections. The family moved to Tallahassee when Boyd was 3 years old, and he watched his dad make a significant difference in Florida, particularly in education. In fact, the Florida Resident Access Grant (FRAG) was renamed the William L. Boyd Florida Resident Access Grant in honor of his late father. The elder Boyd had worked with the Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida (ICUF) in the 1970s to help establish the grant, which has helped make education a reality for countless students over the years.

firm, Akerman Senterfitt, Boyd’s practice is primarily in the area of education law and lobbying. Among his clients is the Association of American Publishers, for whom Boyd handles Florida legislative and legal work including Florida funding for K-12 textbooks and issues such as the statewide adoption process for instructional materials, statewide standards, and statewide testing through the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Other clients include the Florida Council of Independent Schools, an association of Florida’s K-12 college preparatory schools, and the Professional Educators Network. And, in keeping with family tradition, his largest client is ICUF. Rollins is a member of ICUF, so Boyd also represents Rollins’ interests in front of the Legislature each year.

“I really enjoy my practice and graduating from Rollins helped me start out in Florida,” Boyd said. “I was president of the student body at Rollins in 1985, and the people I met and the experience I gained helped me tremendously in my political and legal career. I love what I do.”

After graduating cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in history and political science, Boyd received his juris doctor degree with honors from Florida State University College of Law. In 1990, at just 26, Boyd ran for the U.S. House of Representatives. He was the youngest congressional candidate in the nation that year. Despite winning seven of the 24 counties in the Florida Panhandle, he lost that race. He ran for office again in 1992, this time for the Florida Senate in an 18-county district in the Panhandle.

“I lost by less than 1 percent—or about 800 votes,” Boyd recalled. “That was a heartbreaker. After that race, my son, Will, was born and later my daughter, Emmy. I may run again, but certainly not until my kids are out of high school…and hopefully enrolled at Rollins College.”

the prosecutor Jason Emilios Dimitris ’92 could be a character in a real-life episode of Law & Order. He serves as Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Middle District of Florida, prosecuting a wide variety of federal criminal cases in the Miami office of the Major Crimes Unit.

Born in New York City and raised on Long Island, Dimitris found his way to Rollins because he was looking for a “small, great, beautiful liberal arts school. And seeing the palm trees made me feel like I was on eternal vacation,” said Dimitris, who has spent the last seven years in South Florida.

After graduating from Rollins with a bachelor’s degree in politics, Dimitris worked as a high school teacher for the Outward Bound School for three years and volunteered as a firefighter and emergency medical technician for Bradenton’s West Side Fire Department. He later attended Stetson University College of Law, where he was editor-in-chief of the Stetson Law Review. To date, that experience ranks as one of his proudest achievements. After graduating from Stetson with his juris doctor degree, Dimitris became an Assistant State Attorney with the MiamiDade County State Attorney’s Office.

After prosecuting in many areas of the State Attorney’s Office, Dimitris became a member of the Economic Crime Unit, where he handled a variety of white-collar cases and focused on technology crimes and identity theft. He later left the State Attorney’s Office to join the Florida Attorney General’s Office as an assistant statewide prosecutor. He was quickly promoted to the position of Special Counsel for Technology Crimes and Identity Theft at the Florida Office of Statewide Prosecution.

His duties include overseeing all investigations and prosecutions of technology crimes and identity theft for the Florida

Attorney General. In his career as a prosecutor, he has tried more than 40 jury trials and prosecuted a wide array of crimes including racketeering, electronic auction fraud, child pornography, drug trafficking, armed robbery, attempted murder, kidnapping, home invasion robbery, DUI and more. His primary interest in prosecution continues to be high-technology crimes.

When he’s not involved with Law & Order-type dramatics, Dimitris is hard at work giving back to the community. He is a founding member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for whom he volunteers as an emergency medical technician for a disaster medical assistance team. This team deploys around the country to offer medical assistance to those affected by disasters when their local resources are insufficient.

Dimitris is equally high energy in his downtime, too. Last year, he completed the 2005 Coeur d’Alene Ironman race in Idaho, which includes a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike race, and a 26.2-mile run.

“I am grateful to Rollins for helping me learn how to balance work and play in my life. At Rollins I learned that I can maintain this balance and also be a positive force in my community.”—Ann Marie Varga ’82

the leader José I. Fernández, Jr. ’92 is recognized as one of Central Florida’s leading economic development experts. An integral part of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer’s leadership team since 2003, Fernández today serves as the City’s Senior Advisor for Public Policy and Business Development. In this role, he provides senior-level guidance to the Mayor on a variety of public policy matters and also serves as the voice for commerce on the Mayor’s Cabinet.

“It was so rewarding to be a part of the leadership team that helped our great city recover in 2004 from three devastating hurricanes within a six-week period,” Fernández said.

As demanding as that was, Fernández says his greatest challenge is making tough

decisions that in many cases affect thousands of people. “I try to make these decisions in the most fair and responsible manner.”

Prior to joining the City of Orlando, Fernández served as the first president of the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund of Greater Orlando (HBIF), which was established in 1995. Charged with assisting in the development and expansion of Hispanic businesses in Central Florida, the organization was recognized by the Downtown Orlando Partnership for its business and managementdevelopment programs. In addition, former Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood bestowed Fernández and the HBIF with the prestigious Vision Award for Small Business Development.

Born in Managua, Nicaragua, Fernández was raised in Orlando. He was drawn to Rollins by its reputation and earned a bachelor of arts in Latin American and Caribbean affairs. He later earned a master’s degree in public administration at the University of Central Florida and graduated from the Kennedy School of Government’s Program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government at Harvard University.

Fernández and his family have made Central Florida their home for more than 25 years. Fernández’s commitment to the long-term and sustainable development of the region is evident through his leadership in the community. He has served on a number of community boards and organizations, including the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce, the Orange County Superintendent’s Hispanic Council, the Rollins College Alumni Association Board of Directors, Harbor House, and Florida Citrus Sports. In addition, he has served as an adjunct professor at the University of Central Florida, teaching economic development.

Recognizing his community involvement and success in business, in 1998 the Orlando Business Journal named Fernández one of the 40 top Central Florida business executives under 40 years of age, and in 1999 Orlando magazine named him one of Central Florida’s 20 leaders for the

21st century. The Orlando Business Journal has also listed Fernández as one of the most influential Central Floridians.

the activist Being involved in the community is a way of life for Stacy Ritter ’82. She was a community activist with the National Council of Jewish Women and other organizations for years before taking her activism to a new level in 1996 when she ran for and won a seat in the State House of Representatives.

She served the residents of District 96 (in Broward County) from 1996 to 2004, when term limits ended her tenure. Elected chair of the Broward County Legislative Delegation by her colleagues, Ritter routinely fought to improve Florida’s economy while holding the line on tax increases. Currently, she chairs Broward County’s Management and Efficiency Study Committee, practices law, and is co-host of the weekly radio show Inside the Donkey, on WINZ 940 AM Saturday mornings with State Representative Ken Gottlieb.

“As a member of the Florida House for eight years, there are several issues that I focused on—and still focus on today,” Ritter said. “The issue of access to affordable property insurance must be one continued page 24

FALL 2005 23

of our top priorities. The unprecedented hurricane season of 2004, and the two hurricanes that have hit Florida this year, show that current insurers are either leaving the state in record numbers or raising premiums upwards of 50 percent. This increase will make the already skyrocketing cost of affordable housing even more unreachable. Growth has been Florida’s largest industry over the last 30 years. We must take steps to spread the risk and stop the sticker shock of rising property insurance premiums.”

Ritter plans to continue her efforts to broaden Florida’s economy. “We cannot rely on tourism alone. Most corporate recruiters point to a mediocre Florida higher-education system as the biggest reason that corporations don’t locate here. We must invest in superior public and private colleges and universities to allow a more competent and diversified group of graduates.”

Although born in Washington, D.C., Ritter considers herself a Floridian, having spent more than 30 years here. After receiving her bachelor of arts degree in history from Rollins, she graduated from Nova University College of Law (now Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center). “My children were born and raised in Broward County and my parents still live in the same house they purchased 30 years ago,” Ritter said. “My life is here.”

She says her proudest achievement is the raising of her two children, Matt (17), a senior in high school, and Stephanie (14), a high school freshman. “I believe I have instilled in them the understanding that when you are as fortunate we are, we must give back to our community.”

Professionally, it is her service in the State House of Representatives that has meant the most to her. “I am most proud of the fact that I don’t back down in the face of a fight—that I continued to advocate for the residents of my district despite being

24 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

outnumbered in the Florida legislature. I don’t believe in sitting silently by while bad things happen; I have been and always will be an outspoken critic of certain policies with which I disagree. By the same token, I will be an equally strident and vocal ally for a cause in which I believe.”

—Ann Marie Varga ’82

the multitasker Sam Stark ’91 has always been a builder—not using bricks and mortar, but rather using ideas, resources, and people power to get things done. A campus leader from the start, Stark served as president of student government and played varsity tennis and soccer. He also managed to find the time to found the Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity.

Stark’s ability to manage multiple projects has contributed to his rapid professional rise. He began his career while he was still at Rollins, working as a Florida Citrus Sports intern.

Upon graduation, he served Florida Citrus Sports full time as an event coordinator before rapidly advancing to director of events and operations.

In 1996, Stark moved to Chicago, where he worked with True Value Hardware, Service Merchandise, and CompUSA as an account supervisor for Sports Partners. He also worked as business development director of IEG, Inc., an agency specializing in sponsorship valuation, consulting, and research.

In 1999, he made his way back south to Orlando, where he teamed up with longtime friend and colleague Chris Cantwell to form SC Marketing & Events. The agency specialized in marketing, event management, sponsorship, and promotions, and represented such clients as the Butkus Award, the National Police Athletic League, the Rollins College Department of Physical Education and Athletics, and Proctor & Gamble (Iams).

Stark was named president/CEO of the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce in 2002 and, as such, leads the fourth-largest Chamber in Central Florida, with more than 1,800 members. Under his leadership, the organization has rebranded itself with a new Web site and membership collateral, and events and sponsorships have become more progressive and profitable.

“We try to be an informational resource to business owners and residents by hosting community forums, luncheons, and programs that update and educate the voting public,” Stark explained. “We take groups to Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., each year to introduce them to our legislative delegation and key legislators. Additionally, we have the broader focus: business development and education, quality of life, economic development, and more.”

Stark volunteers on several community boards, including the Rollins College Tar Booster Executive Committee, the Rollins Sports Hall of Fame, and the Foundation for Winter Park Tech. In addition, he serves on the Board of the Florida Association of Chamber Professionals. Most recently, Stark was named by the Orlando Business Journal as one of the 40 top Central Florida business executives under 40 years of age. He is a Rotarian and a Paul Harris Fellow.

Despite all this business success, Stark says his proudest achievement is “a work in progress”—being a dad to 1-year-old son Ben. “My wife, Heather, and I knew that parenting would be fun, rewarding, and special. But we had no idea it would be this fantastic!”—Ann Marie Varga ’82 ■

Tina Osceola ’89 Not Horsing Around ■ Ambassadors often seem born to the job, and that may be particularly true for Tina Osceola, who has shared her Seminole tribe’s culture with the wider world since she was a little girl.

Her grandparents owned a Seminole village attraction in Naples, and Osceola was there daily, chatting with tourists as her grandmother cooked over an open fire, or chiming in as her grandpa explained to visitors how their chickee hut was constructed. Later, she and her family traveled the country, selling Seminole crafts and performing tribal dances (which helped pay for 12 years of private school). As a teenager, she represented her tribe as Miss Seminole in the Miss Florida pageant. And she may have the distinction of being the only Native American Rollins student ever to bring an authentic powwow to campus.

“We had alligator wrestlers, dancers, and Seminole food,” she said.

“Some of the guys from the X-Club came out on the lawn and stayed up all night trying to learn to sing with the drummer. Everyone was really into it. It was great.”

Today, Osceola’s role as diplomat for her tribe has landed her in the middle of a national controversy: the use of Native Americans as team mascots. She has appeared on ESPN and National Public Radio in defense of Florida State University’s Chief Osceola. Thanks in part to the Seminole tribe’s support of the mascot, the NCAA has dropped its opposition, much to the relief of fans who are Seminoles by birth and, as Osceola puts it jokingly, “Seminoles by tuition.”

“When you go to an FSU football game, you’re standing among thousands of people who are proud to call themselves Seminoles,” said Osceola, who holds a political science degree from Rollins and a master’s in public administration from Nova Southeastern University.

“What other venue is going to provide such an opportunity to share our culture? It also helps brand us as an enterprise. You can’t buy that kind of goodwill.”

Osceola does agree with protestors that other mascots, like the Washington Redskins, are offensive and do not honor a tribe, but rather perpetuate the “savage” stereotype. In fact, the FSU mascot has had to change to meet with the tribe’s approval. Originally called

Sammy the Seminole (and wearing all the wrong clothes), FSU’s mascot has been made culturally accurate with the tribe’s help.

“Chief Osceola tells a story, shares a piece of our proud history. We are glad to share that with FSU,” she said.

Osceola has her finger on the pulse of Seminole culture not merely by virtue of her ancestry. She is executive director of the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Museum Department, overseeing two museums on South Florida reservations. Their artifacts, such as patchwork clothing, dugout canoes, and bandolier bags, tell the story of the Seminole people.

In the early 1800s, the real Chief Osceola led the Seminoles against the U.S. government in the Second Seminole War, fighting forcible relocation to the Oklahoma territories. After he and his warriors were victorious in several battles, Osceola met with U.S. troops under a flag of truce to discuss peace. Instead, he was captured—deceived—by General Thomas Jesup, who imprisoned him. Chief Osceola died a short time later, imprisoned near Charleston. Widely respected by both Native and non-Native Americans, Chief Osceola has several towns and a county named for him—as well as, of course, Tina Osceola.

Today, there are 3,000 members in the Seminole Tribe of Florida, about half living on reservations. Osceola, who was a public affairs supervisor for the Collier County Sheriff’s Department for almost a decade, lives in Naples (not on a reservation) with her husband, Arlo Hagen—a “Norwegian from Minnesota!” she laughed—and their children, Dakota (11) and Brody (6).

Now with an official position in the tribe, Osceola plans to continue her life’s work of sharing Seminole culture. She would like to bring tribal programs to the Rollins campus in the anthropology or history departments. “I loved my time at Rollins,” she said. “President Thad Seymour made me feel so welcome. He even put a rock down on the Walk of Fame with my name and Osceola’s name on it. It was such an important, happy time in my life.” —Leigh Brown Perkins FALL 2005 25

Bill Wood ’86 Rx for Success ■ The night before Bill Wood was scheduled to go on his first surgical rotation, he couldn’t sleep. He had never had a role in an operating room before and he was feeling anxious. After all, he planned to go into family practice, not surgery. He got up the next morning, headed to the hospital, and in the operating room, he was handed a scalpel. That was the end of his family practice ambition—he was hooked. When he got home that evening, his wife asked how it went.

“I got to cut,” he said.

Wood took the long route to becoming a doctor. At Rollins he was active in social justice causes, spending his time working in areas like divestment in South Africa. He graduated summa cum laude with a degree in philosophy under his arm and then turned his attention to scholars programs so he could continue his education. He was awarded a Fulbright to head to Jordan and learn Arabic, and later interned for the United Nations in Vienna. After returning to the U.S., Wood landed a job with Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG), a grassroots organization started by Ralph Nader in the ’70s (it is now independent of Nader) to keep folks aware of political and environmental issues in their states.

With PIRG, Wood worked as a canvass director and campus organizer in Florida and Massachusetts, among other states. Later, he became consumer education director and campaign finance reform advocate— just a long way of saying he was a lobbyist.

Wood had planned to stay with PIRG for a year or two then move on to med school. He resigned in 1995, when he was recruited by the

National Democratic Institute to go to Slovakia as a field representative for a year. Since he had spent such a long time in grassroots projects, he began to think about altering his med school plans. Maybe, since he was older and had just started a family, he should work to become a physician’s assistant instead. The hours would be shorter and schooling wouldn’t be as lengthy or as expensive. But Wood’s parents knew him better than that. “You’ll be really unhappy,” his father told him, “if you’re not in charge.” True enough.

So off Wood went to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine to start the long road toward earning his MD. Now, after five years of med school, Wood is in the second year of his five-year residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he’s pursuing a specialty as an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He’s trudging his way through 15-hour work days, sometimes working 30-hour on-call shifts.

Then he gets to come home and relieve his wife, a clinical psychologist and, according to Wood, a “single mom” to their 2-year-old daughter and 9-month-old son.

It won’t always be like this, though. In a few more years, Wood will be able to practice on his own and, once his schedule calms down a bit, his wife will get some relief. too. Then, Wood says, she gets to do whatever she wants.—Maureen Harmon

Jan Zelenka ’69 Uncommon Achiever ■ It was the spring of 1968, and just months before, Fred W. Hicks III ’79 ’80H, then Rollins dean of student affairs, was visiting with a group of undergraduates from schools throughout Prague. He was quite impressed with one young man from Charles University. His name was Jan Zelenka and his maturity and great grasp of American literature struck Hicks, so he offered him a free year at Rollins. There was just one problem: Zelenka had to make it out of Czechoslovakia in the heat of political strife and violence. On August 21 of that year, the Warsaw Pact armies, led by the Soviets, invaded the country. Zelenka managed to squeeze into Frankfurt, Germany, just before the Soviets sealed the border.

His initiative in getting across that border to study in America confirmed for Hicks that Zelenka was a promising student. “It was an indication that Jan Zelenka would make his mark in uncommon accomplishments,” Hicks said. “I have not been disappointed.”

How could he be? After Zelenka’s graduation from Rollins in 1969, he headed back to Prague to earn a degree from Charles University (he later earned his Ph.D. in American literature there, as well). He landed a job at Odeon Publishing House editing Czech translations of classic and modern American fiction and poetry, including the works of William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Updike, Kurt Vonnegut, and Robert Lowell, among others. But life for Zelenka, and for those living in Czechoslovakia, was about to change.

On November 17, 1989, Zelenka had a bird’s-eye view of history in 26 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

the making. He lived (and still does) in an apartment overlooking Národní Street, the scene of a peaceful student march in Prague in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Nazi repressions against Czech students. When the riot police arrived, the scene turned violent, and Zelenka welcomed 30 protestors into his home to protect them. From the windows of Zelenka’s apartment, they watched the beginnings of the Velvet Revolution—an event that eventually brought down the Communist rule of Czechoslovakia.

The revolution brought about huge changes in the Czechoslovakia, now split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. “People could do whatever they wanted,” Zelenka said. “They could travel everywhere—say, write, and print what they wished. They could read what they liked.”

The change was wonderful for the people of Prague, but Odeon Publishing House struggled under the new social climate and so, in 1993, Zelenka took that as a sign to move on. He joined the Foreign Service and became the cultural attaché—or counselor for cultural affairs, to the U.S. It was his job to stay in contact with Czechs living in the U.S. as well as to mediate Czech culture to Washingtonians, through concerts, art exhibitions, and readings.

Two years later, Zelenka was back in the world of books. He left the Foreign Service and became an editor for General Books, a Czech division of Reader’s Digest. He still works there today and occasionally does some free-lance work, like editing a volume of President Václav Havel’s speeches.

Looks like Fred Hicks made the right decision back in 1968—both for Rollins and Zelenka. “I am convinced that Rollins played a crucial part in my future professional career, and what English I learned there has been with me since.”—Maureen Harmon

Mark Tiedje ’60 Cinema Buff ■ You’ve got to be really smitten with the movies to actually have a movie theater in your home. And no, we’re not talking about the ubiquitous big screen TV. Mark Tiedje’s in-residence theater, which seats seven, is the real thing—a true home theater with actual seats that were plucked straight out of an old Charleston movie house.

Although he began his career at Orlando’s WFTV Channel 6, where he gained expertise as various as boom operator, director, and cameraman, it was a position with the local NBC affiliate that landed him in Charleston. His vast media experience ultimately parlayed into the position of promotion director for the College of Charleston School of Performing Arts. “The college had a very vital performing arts program and we hosted many guest celebrities such as Donald O’Connor, Tony Bennett, and Reba McIntyre, so it was great fun for me to be involved and to meet so many talented people,” Tiedje said.

Tapping into the rhythm of a hectic schedule of concerts, special performances, and more kept the former technical theater major extremely busy, often times juggling several projects and artists at once.

“You name it, I did it—from creating posters, playbills, and press mail-outs to scheduling interviews with local TV stations to coordinating radio interviews with artists like violinist Lee Chen,” Tiedje said. “And although dealing with the artists was a pleasure, it was secondary to being able to mentor student interns in the field of arts management.”

Tiedje recently retired from the College of Charleston. It’s important to note that this has in no way curbed his passion for the next big project out there. In fact, it doesn’t take much to summon Tiedje’s enthusiasm for his latest endeavor: a collaborative effort with his partner, John Coles. “We’re very excited about a book we’re working on that’s a

wonderful compilation of South Carolina movie-going experiences,” Tiedje explained. “John and I have traveled to various small towns and interviewed all kinds of folks. At first people seem a bit reticent to chat, then before we know it, we’re listening to some of the most amazing and clever stories.”

Already heavy into the interview process, Tiedje has met with a 90-year-old woman who was a child extra in a silent movie filmed in South Carolina. One of his favorite interviews thus far was with a man who recalled his first movie experience, with his best friend, when he was just 8 years old. “The two had never seen a movie before, and there’s a pivotal scene in the movie where two young women are about to take their clothes off by a railroad track. Just as the women are about to disrobe, a train comes screeching by and blocks the view,” Tiedje chuckled. “Well, the man made me laugh so hard when he told me that he and his friend went back to the same movie two more times since they both knew that trains never run at the same time twice!”

It’s those kinds of stories and more that Tiedje and Coles plan to capture in their book. After all, going to the movies is so much more than purchasing the ticket, standing in line for Milk Duds, and watching the captivating previews. It’s the first date, the laugh-aloud moments, and the whole story-within-a-story that makes movie-going such an amazing American pastime. Luckily for South Carolinians, Tiedje plans to preserve this slice of American life for them.—Zaida Rios

Hal George ’76 One-in-a-Million Builder ■ William “Hal” George claims that his own home in Winter Park is “not that great.” Seems he saves his energy for the houses he designs and sells rather than the ones he lives in. As president of Parkland International Realty and Parkland Homes, he’s got the world of housing —buying, tearing down, building, and selling— covered. For more than 20 years now, George has sold custom-built homes of his own design, worth up to $6 million. Not only the wealthy are living in George’s homes, though. Dozens of Florida families are living in Habitat for Humanity homes that George had a hand in building.

After graduating from Rollins with an English degree, George opened Potter’s Porridge, a fondue restaurant, in Winter Park. The restaurant thrived under George, who was voted one of Central Florida’s finest chefs. But George is quick to point out that the award was a total scam. “It’s a fondue restaurant,” he says. “You cook your own food!”

Regardless, he kept at it for four years before learning the ins and outs of real estate and opening Parkland International Realty. He began buying homes himself, fixing them up, and then selling them for profit. But trying to juggle both businesses was just too hectic, so George decided to sell the restaurant. He had to. “Otherwise,” he said, “I’d turn 90 before I turned 30.”

Five years after opening the real estate office, he moved from buying and selling “used” homes to building brand-new, customdesigned homes through his new company, Parkland Homes. All of Parkland’s homes are in Winter Park, but right now, George and his staff are concentrating on a section of town once owned by former Rollins president Hugh McKean. Three-quarters of of his 200 acres of orange groves—located across Lake Virginia from campus—were sold in 1999, and they soon became the site of a development called Windsong, where Mediterranean-style houses start in the $1-million range.

But George also makes time for those who may not be able to afford such elaborate homes. In the early ’90s, he co-founded Winter Park’s Habitat for Humanity program. The people who move into Habitat homes are required to pitch in at least 500 hours of work toward constructing their new house, so that gives George plenty of time to get to know the new residents, and he loves building those relationships—that’s what keeps him and nearly 100 student volunteers from Rollins working every Saturday. He broke ground for his 40th Habitat house in September.

George has gone from Rollins to restaurants to real estate, and he said he’s probably through building businesses, he’ll stick to the ones he’s got. Yet on second thought, he said, “You never know.” One thing’s for sure: he’s not giving up on Habitat for Humanity. He hopes to reach the 50-house mark before retiring.—Maureen Harmon FALL 2005 27

I don’t know where to begin or how to describe the Amazon Voyage trip in Peru. As a debut for Rollins’ travel program, I think you made a mistake—I can’t imagine how you are going to top this! My daughter, Dian, and I have taken to listening to Peruvian music and driving our friends crazy with stories about La Turquesa, the river, the jungle, and most of all, the people. My grandson Jake will probably become an environThree-toed sloth mentalist or a photographer because of this trip. This was truly the trip of a lifetime!—Dian Rausch Demmer ’54 My favorite memories are of the Amazon River’s constantly churning muddy water, size, beauty, natural cycles, mystery, and romance; of the two villages we visited, filled with happy people; of our crew’s Peruvian music at night; and of our wonderful guide George, who was the “Crocodile Dundee” of the Amazon.

Thank you, Rollins, for this very special experience…and for the memories.—Bill Clark ’82 Canopy walk

La Turquesa

The entire trip was grand, but two moments are most pleasantly registered in my memories. First, the surprise celebration that the crew gave me on the evening of my birthday. I was thrilled and flattered when the musicians marched out with the birthday cake and our bartender serenaded me with an English/Spanish rendition of “Eternal Love.” Second, fishing for piranha in the long boat. I was pleasantly startled when I got a bite and managed to pull out the first fish. It was also fun to share a photo opportunity with a “proud Bill Clark” who caught the largest piranha and carried it back to Lima for mounting!

—Saundra Sands Hester ’59

My son Robby and I adored our Amazon adventure. We enjoyed meeting new friends, the crew, and our daily excursions into the rainforest and villages. Listening to the sounds of the rainforest symphony was an experience we will cherish forever.—Linn Terry Spalding ’74

“

Seventeen Rollins alumni, family, and friends explored the headwaters of the Amazon River and the area’s diverse rainforest in August on the inaugural journey of the Alumni Association’s new travel program. Accompanied by Associate Professor of Environmental Studies Barry Allen, the group embarked on their journey in Iquitos, Peru, where they boarded a 19thcentury-style expedition ship and left modern civilization behind. They traveled upriver to the confluence of the Río Ucayali and Río Marañón, and for the next week became familiar with the ecosystem and many inhabitants of the Amazon region.

Days were spent hiking through the lush rainforests and discovering quiet tributaries on a small excursion boat. They visited a few remote villages, where they got a glimpse of the river way of life and had the opportunity to interact with native school children. Piranha fishing and canoeing provided a hands-on experience of the daily routines of village life.

Local naturalist guides helped the explorers identify nearly 100 different species of birds and other native wildlife, like red howler monkeys, three-toed sloths, white caimans, and capybaras.

After a final stop in Lima for a tour of the colonial center, the group returned home with exciting memories of an enchanting region and culture. —Elaine Worth

Ed ’47 and Dot Wolking ’48 Campbell ■ A ROLLINS ROMANCE The year was 1944 and World War II was in full swing when Dorothy “Dot” Wolking accepted a scholarship to Rollins College. For Dot, the scholarship presented an opportunity to attend college that otherwise would not have been possible.

Rollins would prove to be a place that offered her much more than an education—it was where she would meet the man who would become her husband, Jeptha “Ed” Campbell.

During the early 1940s, Ed cut short his college education at Emory University to enlist in the Army Air Force. Upon returning home from the war, he transferred to Rollins, where his mother, Angela Palomo-Campbell, had been recruited to head the department of romance languages by then Rollins president Hamilton Holt.

“Mom loved Rollins, and she was especially fond of Hamilton Holt,” Ed shared.

“He looked to Mom to play a big part in fundraising for the school: she was great at entertaining and making high-profile guests and potential donors feel welcome.

In those days, she helped host many famous people, like Salvador Dali and the president of the Philippines.”

When asked how she met Ed, Dot reminisced, “It was in German class.

There were only about 12 of us and we all knew each other pretty well, and often after class everyone would collect in the Student Center to play bridge.” The two became good friends that fall, and Ed finally asked Dot out on a date in February. “The reason I originally asked her out was because the girl I wanted to ask out already had a date,” Ed chuckled.

Whatever the reason for that first date, it was the beginning of a courtship that led to the couple’s engagement by the end of the school year. After graduating, Ed and Dot married and attended graduate school at the University of Wisconsin, where Dot received a master’s degree in mathematics and Ed, a master’s and doctorate in biochemistry.

After graduate school, the couple headed to Ohio. Dot taught at the University of Dayton, then at The College Preparatory School (now part of Seven Hills School) in Cincinnati. Ed worked for a radiation biology lab in Dayton before spending the majority of his career with the United States Food and Drug Administration

I 1963 Dana Ivey has received her fourth Tony nomination. She was nominated in the Supporting Actress category for playing Mrs. Malaprop in The Rivals at Lincoln Center. She writes, “It was a terrific production, and I had a marvelous time.” During the summer, she was scheduled to make an independent film in New York.

I 1964 Cary Fuller ’65, Linda Peterson Warren, and John Dean ’66 met for an (USFDA), serving in numerous capacities including Associate Director for Nutrition and Consumer Services and Director of the USFDA’s research lab in Cincinnati.

During their long and happy marriage, they’ve welcomed three children— Angela, Philip, and Martha—and many grandchildren into their family.

Although they moved away from Rollins, the College would continue to play an important role in the Campbells’ lives. Throughout the years, they came to Winter Park regularly to visit Ed’s mom, who lived on campus and continued to work for the College for many years. Not a summer would pass without the Campbell children visiting grandma at the campus and taking swimming lessons at Dinky Dock. After retiring from full-time teaching, Palomo-Campbell volunteered her time at the College archives, and she continued to live on the Rollins campus until the age of 91. Today, her Rollins legacy lives on in Casa Iberia, the campus building she established and furnished with Spanish antiques acquired during her numerous trips to Spain.

These days, Ed and Dot Campbell call Cincinnati home and they continue to be advocates of Rollins and a liberal arts education. After 56 years of marriage, they still think back on their college dayswith great fondness, quickly crediting Rollins with giving them a foundation of skills and experiences that has helped them through life. And they are proud to pass on the Campbell family’s rich Rollins heritage and tradition to their granddaughter, Julia Sullivan, who is a freshman at Rollins this fall.—Jed Dunstan

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BOARD PROFILE ROLLINS IS A FAMILY AFFAIR FOR RAY FANNON ’82 Staying connected to Rollins has been easy for Ray Fannon ’82, even though he now lives in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody.

The College seems to run through his bloodline. The Rollins family tree includes his wife, his older brother, his brother’s wife, and his wife’s parents.

Born and raised in DeLand, Florida, Fannon did not start out following in his older sibling’s footsteps to Rollins, though. “I went to Florida Tech [now UCF] for my first year.

But after visiting my brother a couple of times, I decided that I wanted a change to get a broader education,” he said. And, he added, “I liked the campus a lot.” Brother Mike Fannon graduated in 1979 with a degree in physics.

The move paid off—in more ways than one. “I started in a very technical career after getting a degree in mathematics and computer science at Rollins,” Fannon said.

“After a while, I switched gears and moved up into management.” He is currently a software quality assurance manager for Cingular Wireless.

His academic experience has helped Fannon to deal with shifting tides throughout his career, as well. “Although I’m in a technical field, my liberal-arts background prepared me well to work in a field that constantly changes,” Fannon said. He never gets bored because the work situation and the technology are constantly evolving, “and thankfully, Rollins taught me to be flexible.”

That flexibility has proved invaluable to Fannon as a Rollins Alumni Association

Island in the 1970s. Shannon plays “Lisa,” one of the many girlfriends of the character played by Ron Eldard.

Board member. After chairing the Communications Committee, Fannon now serves on the Executive Committee. “And one thing that I do is try to help them understand the latest trends in technology and how we can use those trends to reach out and engage alumni.”

And how does this techie, whose days are filled with numbers and codes, unwind? “I love to travel. And I like wine tasting.”

As for altruistic endeavors, Fannon has volunteered for various organizations in the past, including the Atlanta Humane Society.

His main focus these days is serving on the Rollins Alumni Board. He has also participated in fundraising efforts for the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, thanks in part to his alma mater.

He learned that one of his Rollins friends, Carol Graham Beck ’79, worked for the museum. Fannon’s interest was stirred and he took some art appreciation classes from her, which in turn led him to getting involved with the volunteer work.

It seems that Ray Fannon can hardly turn a corner without being reminded of his association with Rollins College. In 2002, he attended his 20th reunion and made a connection. “I reunited with one of my classmates,” he said almost matter-of-factly.

Fannon and Heidi Tauscher, a fellow 1982 graduate who majored in international relations, soon tied the knot.

Seems like it was meant to be. In a definite understatement, Fannon said, “For us, Rollins is a tradition.”—Russ J. Stacey

S P O T L I G H T O N YO U N G A L U M N I —By Vickie Pleus

Allison Mella ’97 allison.mella@verizon.net PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT—On the outskirts of the hustle and bustle of sprawling Los Angeles, the Law Offices of Allison Mella hold a Santa Monica, California, address, but are grounded in a Winter Park experience.

Originally from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Allison Mella ’97 moved to Boca Raton during her high school years and put Rollins on her radar almost immediately. During her time at the College, she devoted most of her energy to her studies as a psychology major and her sorority, NCM (Non Compis Mentis).

“My psychology classes were truly enjoyable. Many professors had a big impact on me,” Mella said. “I also have fond memories of living on campus. Rollins was a wonderful environment in which to enter my adult years. I hope today’s students are getting as much out of the experience as I did.

My advice to them is to enjoy as many aspects of the Rollins life as possible while keeping their goals in sight.”

She’s speaking from experience: In 2001, Mella achieved one of her greatest goals when she graduated with a law degree from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

Shortly thereafter, she accomplished another admirable feat when she became a sole practitioner of law just two short years out of law school. Now in her fourth year as an attorney, Mella practices entertainment law in Santa Monica, representing film and television writers, producers, and directors in contract disputes. “I have the privilege of working with very artistic and creative people and I really enjoy that about them,” she said. Her cases have involved such popular shows as Entertainment Tonight, The Insider (Paramount), and NEXT (MTV).

Mella attributes much of her success to an important lesson learned at Rollins: the skills of time management. “Time management is knowing when to work and when to play, and how to balance those aspects of your life,” she said. “It’s crucial in my profession because you have a lot of deadlines and you have to be on top of them. People want their projects to move forward in a timely fashion, and you need to be cognizant of that. I want to give my clients the best possible service.”

editor@fivestarreviews.com A LIFE IN BALANCE—Having been homeschooled all her life, Lisa Olen Tobin ’98 knew exactly what she wanted when she set about choosing a college: an intimate environment where teachers were accessible and students were more than their Social Security Numbers. She found what she was looking for at Rollins College.

“I've always been an independent learner who had a solid relationship with my teachers and tutors,” Tobin said. “Rollins had a great reputation—that was obviously an important factor. But what sold the deal was the bond between student and professor, as well as the interactive classes, which simply appealed to my type of lifestyle.”

While her educational background was unique, Tobin had no trouble fitting in and finding a home at Rollins. “Even if you didn't belong to a sorority, you could find your niche and be accepted by different social groups,” she said.

Tobin, who admits to having been a “sheltered and shy bookworm” during her youth, blossomed at Rollins. After graduating, she married her longtime sweetheart, Michael, and together they launched into cyberspace with an online magazine, www.FiveStarReviews.com, featuring original, affordable products and services that are recommended by consumers.

The business venture suits the couple’s ambitions well. “Michael and I wanted personal freedom to create a business that had integrity and make a living doing something we truly love to do together,” she said. “But we also believe that success involves being healthy and living a lifestyle that includes an abundant life outside of work to enjoy the money you make.”

The Tobins credit their decision to live by this philosophy to the experiences of a mutual friend, Daniel, who introduced them at age 13. Daniel was trapped in one of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. The attack and subsequent frantic search for their friend greatly affected Lisa and Michael.

“Michael and I realized then that we were each other's best friend, and we both decided that now was the time to stop fearing the world, to go out there and live the life we've always wanted to,” Tobin said. “This shocking experience brought us together and caused us to evaluate how we live our lives.”

The couple wed September 12, 2004, with Daniel giving away the bride.

Q&A alumni perspectives

{

“If you could design a new class to be taught at Rollins, what would the topic be and why?”

}

Sean Kinane ’90

Shelley Deane Gould Alexander ’76

Ever since my first year of graduate school, I’ve dreamed of teaching a course at Rollins called Natural History of Florida. While an undergrad at Rollins, I learned much about Florida natural history through lectures and field trips in classes such as Ecology and Vertebrate Zoology but I still didn’t feel that I had been able to find out as much about Florida’s unique organisms. After finishing at Rollins, I got my master’s degree at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In my second semester there, I took a course called Natural History of the Hawaiian Islands. It was incredible.

We learned about the geology and ecology of Hawaii, and it was during that class that I started thinking about how important a class on the natural history of Florida would be to students, especially at a school like Rollins.

They could learn about the Everglades, the reefs of the Florida Keys, spring-fed rivers, and red tides, among other subjects. One day I hope to design and teach such a course.

If I could design a new class at Rollins, it would be a multidisciplinary course called The Functioning Brain. The biological section of the class would be a study of brain structure. It would include a study of what we know of which parts control different functions. The psychology department could pick up with a study of the relationship of what we know of emotion and development of different brain areas. The Department of Education could follow up with looking at developing teaching techniques that would be matched to learning styles that might be deduced from brain function.

The English department might jump in with a study of brain-themed literature. The arts could throw in brain-oriented art and possibly music. If you needed to throw in P.E., languages, and religion, you could go back to what part of the brain is involved in athletics, label it for foreign language, and do multi-religious beliefs.

wagepeace2005@yahoo.com

Lisa Steinfeld '01

lsteinfeld@hotmail.com It would be incredibly valuable to include a How to Make a Living in the Art World class in the fine arts program. As a graduate of the studio arts program who has now spent four years in the “real” world, I think it would be great to have taken a class dedicated to teaching the business side of art, such as what to include and look out for in gallery contracts, how to market yourself, creating a Web site and portfolio, real-world versions of your concentration, and the importance of getting to know your local art community.

My class would include lectures from local artists, discussions of alternative exhibition spaces, and demonstrations of taking slides and digital images of your work, and would conclude with a complete package, including an artist’s philosophy, a portfolio of at least one body of work in both slide and digital form, a résumé, and a marketing plan. Experience teaches us many of these details, but it would be so helpful to have a running start!

If I could design a new course of study at Rollins College, I would name it Successful Human Interaction. In over 50 years of practice as a certified public accountant, I never heard anyone say, “My accounting education prepared me for success.” In my own career, my modest success is purely the result of the Dale Carnegie Course and membership in Toastmasters International and the application of principles learned in those activities. The ability to relate to other human beings and to communicate effectively is paramount to success.

Any college or university that originates a course in Successful Interaction with competent instructors and authoritative textbooks would make history, and its students would rise up and call it blessed.

Robert Heinsohn Hartley II ’91 ’01MBA was deeply religious, demonstrating his faith in ways that touched the lives of countless people in his hometown of Sewickley, Pennsylvania and his adopted home of Winter Park, Florida. The Eagle Scout who made friends with the poor and humble also received a get-well card from President Bush and a hospital phone call from White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove.

Hartley packed a century’s worth of public service into his 35 years before he succumbed to recurrent brain cancer on June 8, 2005.

More than 600 people attended his funeral.

Hartley chose Rollins over Vanderbilt and William & Mary when he was offered one of the first two Philip and Peggy Crosby Scholarships for leadership. A 1986 winner of the Congressional Medal for Young Americans, he made his mark at Rollins as a political science major and in student activities, including student government and the College newspaper. At the end of his junior year, he was one of 25 students nationwide chosen to participate in the prestigious Leadership America summer program.

But he was perhaps best known as the campus shutterbug. Hartley, who experienced the disappointment of not being invited to join a fraternity, ironically found his social and business niche when he spontaneously grabbed his camera to take photos at an open fraternity party. “Photography allowed me to work and party with a lot of diverse groups. Now, I feel like a member of every fraternity and sorority on campus,” he wrote in an article for Princeton University’s Business Today magazine.

That theme of inclusion was key for Hartley.

Even as a boy, he made it a point to make friends with the kids who were “left out.” For his Eagle Scout project, he persuaded merchants to donate food, clothes, and toys to the town’s poor via the Community Center so none of the recipients knew the source of such beneficence. At All Saints Episcopal Church in Winter Park, he delivered altar flowers to hospitalized parishioners. He was a commissioner for the Winter Park Housing Authority and served on the board of the Walt Disney Memorial Cancer Institute at Florida Hospital Orlando. “In a world of self-absorption, Robert Hartley taught us what it means to live for others,” said Des Cummings, Jr., president of the Florida Hospital Foundation.

Following graduation from Rollins, Hartley went to work for General Mills at the Olive

Barbara and Robert Hartley

Garden (later bought out by Darden Restaurants). After doing some government relations work with Darden, he decided to pursue marketing and entered Rollins’ Crummer Graduate School of Business, where he earned his MBA and acquired the skills to turn his photography business into a full-time operation.

Hartley remained an active Rollins alumnus and took special pleasure in photographing reunions and other College events. He was invited to give the baccalaureate address to the Class of 1999. “Rollins was very dear to him,” said Barbara, his beloved wife of eight years. “He was so appreciative of getting the Crosby Scholarship that he gave back to the College by helping to raise money and serving on various committees. He was very loyal—to institutions, values, and people.”

Hartley’s political activities were also of central importance to him. He worked on several campaigns and served on the board of the Orange County Young Republicans.

“Robert never made a person feel bad for having ideas; he enjoyed the give-and-take of debate,” said friend and Rollins classmate Sam Stark ’91.

Both Hartley’s mother, Nell, and Barbara cite his wit as the quality they remember most.

“Robert loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor,” Barbara said. “I don’t know if everyone saw that in him because of his passion for getting things done.” Hartley’s thoughtfulness and concern for the people he loved survive.

Perhaps the greatest symbol of this is the ring he bought and left for Barbara to find on her birthday—two months after his death.

In March, Rick Walsh, Hartley’s first employer and mentor at Darden Restaurants, wrote to Robert: “In spite of all the bad and challenging things…what a life it is. Thinking about you recently, after bemoaning this most recent episode, I was reminded—you have an extraordinary life filled with wonderful parts: Barbara, your business, your parents, your politics, Rollins, your friends. There are so many in the world who would give most anything for just a moment of your life.”—Bobby Davis ’82

In Memory Farewell, “Mrs. Rollins”

College community mourns Peggy Gordon ’84HAL (1924-2005) Countless Rollins alumni who returned to their alma mater in the decade spanning the mid-1970s and mid-1980s were welcomed by Alumni Association executive director William R. Blackman Medal recipients Bill and Peggy Gordon “Bill” Gordon ’51 with President Rita Bornstein, Reunion 2004 and his wife, Peggy. The Gordons had a special knack for making every guest feel like family. Together, with their spirit and gracious hospitality, they came to epitomize Rollins College for students, graduates, and members of the Central Florida community. They were frequently called “Mr. and Mrs. Rollins.”

Bill Gordon left the alumni office in 1984 to serve as associate vice president for development for the College, retiring in 1989, but the Gordons’ seemingly ubiquitous participation in College events, often with their friends George D. ’35 ’85H and Harriet W. ’35HAL ’90H Cornell, continued uninterrupted. They demonstrated the same loyalty at St. Richard’s Episcopal Church, where Peggy was the first woman to hold the position of senior warden in the Diocese of Central Florida, and at Winter Park High School, where Bill had taught, coached, and served as dean of students. Accompanied by their three children, they were known as “Team Gordon.”

Born in Webster City, Iowa, Marcelyn “Peggy” Gordon never lost her Midwestern friendliness, or resolve. She was a graduate of Stephens College and the University of Iowa, but she adopted Rollins as her own, and Rollins adopted her. In 1984, coincident with the Rollins graduation of the Gordons’ son William II, she was named an honorary Rollins alumna. Admirers described her as charming, poised, sensitive, energetic, and always smiling. They marveled at her ability to listen intently to stories about “the good old days” at Rollins, repeated dozens of times by dozens of alumni.

In 2004, the Board of Trustees honored the Gordons for their contributions to the College, presenting them William Fremont Blackman Medals. Named for Rollins’ fourth president, the Blackman Medal is awarded in recognition of distinguished achievement which advances the ideals of “quality, high standards, and fineness of results” which President Blackman maintained should distinguish Rollins among its peers.

Peggy Gordon will indeed be remembered for her quality, high standards, and fineness, and for her unselfish devotion to her family, unflagging good humor and limitless goodwill, and unreserved affection for all things Rollins. We will miss you, Mrs. Rollins, but we will never forget your welcoming smile.—Lorrie Kyle Ramey ’70

40 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

Joe Justice ’40: A Legend in Rollins Athletics Joe Justice ’40, one of Rollins College’s all-time great athletic figures, died on July 25, 2005. As star player, coach, and athletic director, for more than 40 years Justice made an enormous contribution to the world of sports at Rollins.

A native of Asheville, North Carolina, Justice, who participated in nearly every major sport as a Rollins student, apparently came by his athletic prowess naturally. His brother, Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice, was a legendary, All-American running back at the University of North Carolina and played professionally with the Washington Redskins, and brothers Jack ’39, Bill ’43, and Neil ’50 all played football at Rollins.

A star quarterback, Justice played under another Rollins sports legend, Coach Jack McDowall, at a time when Rollins took on larger schools such as the University of Florida and University of Miami. For many years, Justice held the NCAA record for highest punt-return average for a game. He made the All-Southern and All-State teams in football, won AllAmerican honors in baseball as a second baseman, and won All-State honors in both baseball and basketball. In 1939, he was selected to the All-American team that played in Havana, Cuba and was honored at the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Somehow, he found time to excel as a student, and was named to both the O.O.O.O. and ODK honorary organizations.

After graduation, Justice spurned offers to play pro football and instead played three years with the Florida State League. In the off season, he coached as an assistant in football at Winter Haven High School. He joined the Rollins staff as freshman football coach in September 1941, just three months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Justice was set to take over as head football coach at the University of Tampa when the United States entered World War II. Instead, he joined the U.S. Navy, serving in the Pacific Theater from 1942 to 1946 and earning the rank of lieutenant.

Justice returned to Rollins in February 1946 and served the College continuously until his retirement on December 31, 1981. He resumed the post of assistant football coach and served as head coach in 1949, the sport’s last season at Rollins. He became the College’s head baseball coach in the spring of 1947 and went on to build dominant teams, garnering a 479-282 record with only three losing seasons in 25 years. He held the Rollins coaching record for career victories in baseball until Boyd Coffie ’59 ’64MAT broke it in 1988. Rollins won eight Florida intercollegiate titles in a span of 12 years under Justice’s tutelage, and his teams made nine

“Rollins taught me to love learning” NCAA and two NAIA postseason appearances.

Justice’s 1954 team went to the championship game of the College World Series, the first Florida school and the smallest college to do so, losing to the University of Missouri. This was the only team to reach the finals of the NCAA and NAIA national tournaments.

Justice also organized the annual Baseball Week Tournament, and was named College Division Coach of the Year by the American Association of College Coaches in 1966. He remains the only man ever named Coach of the Year in two different sports—in 1954 for baseball and in 1970 for golf.

Justice also coached basketball (1950-52), soccer (1957-67), and golf (1970-81) at Rollins, with his 1970 golf team winning the national championship. He coached seven golf AllAmericans, including 1976 NCAA title winner Mike Nicolette ’78.

After serving a stint as dean of men from 1951 to 1957, he assumed the post of athletic director in 1957, and despite strict budgets, Tars athletic teams in every area succeeded at the highest level until his retirement. He has been honored in multiple Halls of Fame, including the American Association of College Baseball Coaches, Rollins Sports, Florida Sports, Western North Carolina Sports, Central Florida Sports, and Sunshine State Conference, which he helped found.

Justice’s connection to Rollins lasted long after he retired, and his contribution to the College will never be forgotten. In 1996, in Justice’s honor, Rollins established the Joe Justice Scholarship Fund, which has greatly increased the College’s support for studentathletes. Winter Park Mayor Joe Terranova proclaimed January 31, 1998 “Joe Justice Day” in recognition of the many achievements and contributions of this Rollins sports legend.

Dian Rausch Demmer ’54 (r) and daughter Dian on the recent alumni Amazon Voyage

Dian Rausch Demmer’s devotion to learning and keen interest in exploring other cultures led her to embark on the recent alumni Amazon Voyage with her daughter, Dian, and grandson, Jake. For each of them, the Peruvian trip was a lifechanging experience, epitomized by Jake‘s enthusiasm for his Spanish class upon his return home.

Demmer was raised on Long Island, New York and grew up with a fondness for the outdoors. As a Rollins student, she enjoyed participating in waterskiing and synchronized swimming. After graduating, her lifelong love of horseback riding took her first to Connecticut and then to South Carolina, where she could ride at her leisure. Most significantly, it was her exposure to education at Rollins that shaped her life following graduation. Her fascination with accounting led her to a successful career in business and human relations. Demmer was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority and has fond memories of partying with her Alpha Phi sisters. “When I came to Rollins, I loved to party; but when I left, I loved to learn,” she said. No longer able to ride due to an unfortunate riding accident, Demmer today enjoys traveling the world.

In formulating her estate plan recently, Demmer decided that Rollins College could better use her estate’s assets, and she felt comfortable in having the College manage a significant portion of her estate. “Rollins was a very good experience for me,” she said. “My estate provision is not just a way to benefit the College; it is a way to give something back to the institution that had such a transformative effect on my life.”

For information about planned giving at Rollins, please contact Robert R. Cummins, Director of Planned Giving, at 407-646-2606.

My Memories of a Rollins Friend Elaine Rounds “Rusty” Budd ’51 pays tribute to her longtime Rollins friend Penelope Drinkwater Self ’50 They were marking the anniversary of the end of World War II around the time Penny Drinkwater Self left this life on June 7, 2005.

Events had come full circle for me, for it was right after the end of that conflict that I had first met Penny, a music major at Rollins who lived in the Gamma Phi house and was sponsored in this country by her “Uncle” Hamilton Holt, Rollins’ own “Prexy.”

Since then, Penny has remained one of my dearest friends.

She was born into an artistic family: her father was John Drinkwater, a noted poet and dramatist in England; her mother was a violinist with the London Symphony.

In 1940, when Britain stood alone against the might of Nazi Germany, the Royal government hoped that sending the children of high-profile Brits to safety in the USA would raise awareness of the cause and result in other British children being welcomed to America. Penny was selected for this first excursion along with two other youngsters who would go on to make a name for themselves in their new home: Liz Taylor and Roddy McDowell.

Penny lived for a while at the home of the governor of Connecticut, John Lodge. But she didn’t get along well with Lodge’s daughter and eventually came under the care of their neighbor, Hamilton Holt, who summered in Woodstock, Connecticut and was Rollins’ president the rest of the year.

Penny was my “big sister” in Gamma Phi Beta and we had a great time at Rollins. After graduating, we made our way to New York. I was going to write, and Penny brought her distinctive looks to the models’ runway. She soon retuned to England, where she married a tall handsome criminal lawyer, Michael Self, who later earned Royal ascent with the title of Queen’s Counsel. Their home in the charming London quarter of Hampstead hosted many a Rollins alum, among them Ben Aycrigg ’49 and Nancy Neide Johnson ’50, who had gone to Winter Park High School with Penny before the three went on to Rollins.

Penny’s life in London was rather hectic. She was the secretary of the Wine Writers Guild and wrote extensively on the subject. She went on numerous trips to the European vineyards, even treading grapes one late summer in Italy.

In Hampstead she gave Thanksgiving dinners, hosted American-style cocktail parties, and single-handedly produced photographs and copy for the food pages of The Field, the upmarket magazine of Britain’s hunting, fishing, and shooting community. For relaxation, Penny and Mike would retire to their cottage in rural Sussex, a county of rolling hills bordering the English Channel. continued next page

Through the years, my husband, John, and I made many a visit to Britain to visit with Penny and Mike and their daughters, Susie and Melanie, of whom they were very proud. Everything was a celebration—lots of good conversation and good food emanating from a small kitchen. We were instructed in all things British: Mike made us maps and filled us with Arthurian tales guaranteed to bring us to the true Camelot.

I have so many happy memories to console me. A few years back when Penny visited our house in Sanibel, I invited neighbors in to meet her—among them a couple from across the beach path, Deanne and Gil, whose marriage was being shaken by Gil’s Alzheimer’s. Gil didn’t talk much, but occasionally he would break into song spontaneously. At one point, he started singing. We stopped talking, and Penny joined Gil in song as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It was a show of that spirit of Penny’s that anything goes if it is done with the proper accent and grace.

Penny has gone off to join her Mike now. I treasure her last note to me with an enclosed photo of her latest pride and joy, her granddaughter Poppy. I am so, so happy for Penny and Poppy that they got to see a bit of each other before Penny’s last journey.

READER RESPONSE REFLECTIONS ON THE TSUNAMI ■ BY JAY WERBA ’86 I read with great interest your articles in the Summer 2005 Alumni Record dealing with the tsunami disaster. It caused me to reflect on my own experiences. I live in Thailand with my Thai wife, but during the tsunami, we were at my parents’ house in Orlando celebrating the Christmas holidays. The day after Christmas, we learned of the tsunami disaster. My wife has family in Bangkok and in northeastern Thailand and, fortunately for her, no one in her family was directly affected.

A few days later, as we hurried through a store in San Francisco preparing to make our way back to Thailand, a very chirpy, cheerful recorded voice announced, “Attention Safeway shoppers, you can do your part to help the tsunami victims by donating right here at Safeway!” With the glaring florescent lights, candy and snacks everywhere, and people (including us) shuffling up and down the aisles, the message had a rather surreal quality.

Then we flew into Bangkok. Our first night back, we went to visit a friend who lives near Khao San Road, which is filled with inexpensive guesthouses where many backpackers stay when they come to Bangkok. On the wall of a police station at the end of the road were hundreds and hundreds of photographs of Western tourists with signs saying, “Have you seen…” The juxtaposition from Safeway to Khao San was stark—this was real.

The following day, I called the school where I teach in order to check in. I was told we had lost a 4-year-old student, August. He had been down at Khao Lak with his family during the Christmas holidays. While his parents were in the hotel room, he was on the beach with his nanny and two brothers. All three children were killed in the tsunami. The parents lost three of their four children in the blink of an eye. And, of course, stories just like this can be told again and again, thousands of times.

Administration and faculty from several Bangkok schools gathered to discuss how we would deal with the tsunami with our young students. One school had lost twins who were firstgraders, and the question arose as to what to do with their desks.

Should they remain in place or be removed straight away?

These were the kinds of issues that, as educators, we had never before grappled with.

The day after the tsunami, a good friend of mine went to an AA meeting at a hospital in Phuket, the resort island in southern Thailand that was partly devastated by the tsunami. When he opened the door to the meeting room, he found the room filled with corpses. There were so many dead bodies, the hospital had to store them in any available space.

Thailand itself started going through a sort of mass hysteria.

There were stories among the Thais about ghosts in Phuket.

One such story, which quickly spread throughout Thailand, had a tuk tuk driver (a tuk tuk is a three-wheeled motorcycle that acts as a taxi) unwittingly driving around the ghosts of some deceased tsunami victims. He picked up some tourists and was

taking them to their hotel. As he was driving, he looked in his rearview mirror, and they were gone. Thais, who generally believe in ghosts, readily believed this story and as a result, a huge number of them abandoned Phuket as a holiday destination.

Some months after the tsunami, I had some holiday time in honor of the Thai New Year. I wanted to go to Phuket for our holiday and spend some money there. My wife at first refused to go, saying she was afraid of the ghosts down there.

It’s rather easy for me to laugh at this and say something less than profound, such as, “Don’t be ridiculous,” and so on. But then I learned a bit more about Thai culture. Many Thais believe that if a person is killed and they weren’t expecting to die, then the body must be recovered and cremated at the wat (temple) with the Buddhist monks reciting the appropriate prayers. Only then can the person’s spirit be released into the next world. If the bodies are not recovered (and thousands of bodies were not recovered), many Thais believe that these victims do not know they are dead. They continue walking the earth, trying to find their friends and family.

I was able to witness many of the changes Thais were going through by seeing the changes in my wife, Pum. She was profoundly affected by the tsunami. Soon after the disaster, her naval ring came out, she stopped dying her hair (she calls her new gray streaks “highlights”), and she gave up her nightly glass of wine. She no longer killed the odd roach we spotted in our house. Next, the Buddhist altar in our house grew in size.

Buddhist texts began appearing, and before long, Pum was disappearing on weeklong meditation jaunts upcountry.

I told her that she was turning into a “born-again Buddhist” and I asked her what was going on. She explained that she knew so many people who had lost friends and family that she was sick to her stomach. She felt helpless that there wasn’t anything she could do.

On one visit to the temple to meditate, Pum came to realize that “When you are born, you will get old. You will get sick. You will lose everything you love. Everything will be lost—diamonds, houses, friends, family—everything. Nothing is permanent.”

Upon returning to Bangkok, she learned her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. It suddenly became clear to her, she said: “When you are born, you die. Most people don’t realize this and that is why they live selfish lives.” She said that the tsunami made her realize very clearly that her life is short, something she had never thought about before. With that in mind, she thinks about what she can do positively with her life— not just drinking, eating, sleeping, and satisfying other base instincts. She tells me that she doesn’t want to simply live life like an animal. For every action, she says, there is a karmic reaction.

“More than anything else,” she says, “I try to remember that with each breath in and out, I am dying.” ■
