Kwaku Asiedo, a senior international studies major (minoring in international economic development), was one of three SU students studying abroad in West Africa at the University of Ghana, Legon, during fall quarter. This was a return trip for Asiedo, who was born in Ghana. "Studying at the University of Ghana laid an important educational foundation that is lifelong and constructed in the context of Africa," Asiedo says.

Men’s soccer coach Pete Fewing talks about his return to SU at a recent press conference in his honor.

A familiar face has come back to Seattle University’s soccer program. The university recently hired Pete Fewing as the head coach of men’s soccer. From 1988 through the 2005 season, Fewing coached the team and had a record of 220-125-26 (.628) during his 18 seasons at the helm. In 1997, he lead the Redhawks to the NAIA National Championship and in 2004 the NCAA Division II National Championship. “I am thrilled to have this opportunity to return to Seattle University,” says Fewing. “My goal is to build the program to winning conference championships and competing in the NCAA Tournament.”

WELCOME, NEW JESUITS TO CAMPUS

Jason Welle, Lorenzo Herman and Matthew Pyrc all took very different paths on the road to answering their callings. One served in the Peace Corps, one in the Air Force and one worked with at-risk youth. One thing they share in common: all three are new Jesuits on the Seattle University campus. At SU, Welle is a special projects coordinator in Global Engagement; Herman is studying at the School of Theology and Ministry; and Pyrc works with the Campus Ministry team.

those years, raising cattle became a family hobby. Heather, who had owned horses in her hometown of Walla Walla, was persuaded by Mike, who was interested in becoming a cattleman. Soon enough they had two horses and seven cows on their plot of land. The Vincent family knew if they wanted to get serious about raising cattle, they would need more acreage. That summer, Mike ran into Mark Torres. They had previously met serving

on various wildlife conservation groups and by coincidence had attended the same fundraising picnic. That was the day they began discussing the Gardiner Family Ranch. As it turns out, Mark’s wife, Sally, owned 80 acres of farmland in North Bend, purchased by her great, greatgrandfather in 1883. The ranch, which also held a dairy and orchard, was in the family for five generations. The soil had sat vacant, untouched since the 1950s. The Torres’ were eager to jump on board. “Mark and Sally were inspired by the idea of producing a healthy product, but they also had an even stronger desire to return her family’s property to what it once was—a place where healthy, local food is produced

The dream sparked in his youth has been realized—and in a big way. Today, Mike Vincent is co-owner of Snoqualmie Cattle Company, alongside his wife Heather, ’93, and friends Mark and Sally Torres. The families together tend to a herd of gregarious Texas Longhorns on an 80-acre ranch in North Bend, Wash., east of Seattle. In 2003, Heather and Mike Vincent left the city looking for greener pastures, settling on a five-acre farm in the Snoqualmie Valley with a stunning view of Mount Si. Close in proximity to hiking and the slopes, they knew it would be a perfect place to start a family—and perhaps a business. They spent the next five years raising their three children: George, who’s now 10; Ellen, 8; and Campbell, 6. During

producers and consumers. Finding a feed model, on the other hand, proved more difficult. It took years of consulting industry professionals and experience raising their own cattle before they decided on a grass-fed model. They found that grass-fed is not only healthier and safer for the consumer, but also doesn’t compromise the health and humane treatment of the cattle, either. Today, they focus their efforts on raising cattle without the use of growth hormones, antibiotics or processed grains and grass feeding from start to finish. When summer rolls around, the herd feasts on fresh fruit, one of the many perks of grazing on an orchard. “All four of us are doing this for different reasons,” says Mike. “Sally really wanted to bring that community back, Heather loves producing a healthy, unique product for neighbors and friends and Mark and I enjoy taking care of the cattle.” The day-to-day duties of a working ranch includes feeding, pulling fence or moving the cattle through the chutes for branding and weaning, a process made easier by the herd’s gentle nature. Children George, Ellen and Campbell chip in a few ideas of their own, taking on more creative tasks and are particularly skilled at naming their four-legged friends. Today, about 50 Longhorn graze the land on which Snoqualmie Cattle Company operates. Found commonly in Texas and Oklahoma, most of the company’s herd came from a high school agriculture teacher in Clarkston, Wash. Recognizable by their iconic horns, each member of the herd sports a stunning shade of black, brown or white, while the boldest of the bunch have spots. They spend most days roaming the region, exploring their

As a young boy growing up in Maple Valley, Wash., Mike Vincent, ’94, looked forward to visiting his grandparents’ farm in Michigan. He spent a few memorable days each year watching the herd sink their hooves into the soil, grazing under the summer sun. He knew someday he’d be a cattleman too.

Soon, though, she found herself fantasizing about owning a fancy mansion and turning it into a bedand-breakfast. She managed to convince a woman to carry a contract on a 10-bedroom house on Capitol Hill. Her friends were amazed and started asking her to find homes like that for them. By 1985, Marlow was a licensed real estate agent. There’s a magic to how her arts event planning skills, her love for tacky art and her work as a successful real estate agent for Coldwell Banker

Harris and this consortium of art collectors, who founded what they call the "Museum of Wonders" plan to host Leeteg's work starting in April at a gallery space a few blocks south of SAM. That’s just the sort of tongue-incheek love of the arts that wins fans for Harris, who revels in the juxtaposition of fine art and kitsch. Don’t let her devotion to paintings on velvet and other funky art fool you—she’s one smart businesswoman, too. When she was still a public administration major at Seattle University, Harris had an internship with the National Endowment for the Arts. Later, she did public relations for the Bellevue Philharmonic and worked for

Bain meld so well. She supports the arts at any opportunity and positive wordof-mouth brings her plenty of artistic and creative clients looking to buy or sell homes. Today, her own four-story home, which she shares with her husband JoDavid and her three teenage sons, is a 1914 Capitol Hill parsonage. The home is an homage to both the whimsical world of art and her real estate savvy. Not everyone would buy an old parsonage and transform a room into what she calls the Dead Elvis Tiki Lounge. “It’s a bad joke,” she says. “We don’t really like Elvis, but we feel he’s one of the original performance artists.” The funny part is, you’d never guess she doesn’t like the King, from her kicky shorts emblazoned with the image of Elvis Presley to photos featuring her with various Elvis impersonators she meets. It doesn’t stop there. Her home has several busts of Elvis (chia pet Elvis, anyone?) and a commissioned painting of her husband JoDavid as Elvis, on velvet, no less.

And in September, she will bring “Elvistravaganza” to Seattle’s annual Labor Day weekend music and arts festival, Bumbershoot. Harris and JoDavid will also curate “Bumber by Number,” an interactive paintby-number art exhibit at the Seattle Center Pavilion during Bumbershoot. The entrance of the retro Dead Elvis Tiki Lounge in her home is devoted to the Paint-by-Number Salon with a collection of throwback paint-bynumber works embellished with the personal style of local artists. From religious mini-shrines to recycled red fezzes once worn by Shriners, there’s a lightheartedness to the visual vignettes in this home.

of your students to make the connections and try to take a role in the world, in history.” It was 1989 when Cosgrove lived in San Salvador where six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter were murdered by members of the Salvadoran Army’s elite battalion, the Atlacatl. In a recent campus panel on protest movements, Cosgrove referred to that horrific occurrence: “To this day, those of us who were there feel we owe our lives to the martyrdom of the Jesuits.” Cosgrove’s journey later took her to Northeastern University in Boston for graduate studies in anthropology and sociology, including a Fulbright for her doctoral research, then back to Latin America where she worked for a private foundation in sustainable development. Lectures and papers brought her to Seattle again and she began work on a book, Leadership from the Margins: Women and Civil Society Organizations in Argentina, Chile, and El Salvador. She soon learned from Arthur Fisher, then-dean, and Kelly, then associate dean, that a new leadership degree was in development at Matteo Ricci. “A Jesuit education ties theory to real-world issues for me,” Cosgrove says. “I knew I was ready to form leaders for a different kind of world.” Today, Cosgrove is expanding her research into Africa, hoping to facilitate exchange between women nonprofit leaders in the Americas with women in Africa. Cosgrove’s family is another point of pride for her. Her daughter, Meme Garcia-Cosgrove, is a sophomore SU Sullivan Scholar who studies theater so she can support art-for-social-change efforts in Latin America. Cosgrove has known her husband Martin Bosworth, ’85, since they were both students at Seattle Prep and later at Matteo Ricci College. A thought-provoking speaker, when Cosgrove was recently on that SU panel about protest movements, she offered advice on how to stay safe during times of conflict. “I took risks, but they were calculated risks,” she said. “You need to have a family of supporters to keep an eye on you. You also need information so you know what’s going on—have the history and facts. ... My impact would have been so much less had I been killed.”

For Serena Cosgrove, Matteo Ricci College is perhaps the best fit imaginable. Not only did she graduate from Matteo Ricci in 1985, with degrees in French and Humanities, but she is now an assistant professor there. Jodi Kelly, Matteo Ricci’s dean, has known Cosgrove since the days when Kelly taught at Seattle Prep, where Cosgrove was a student in the late 1970s. “Serena represents the best of our hopes for our graduates,” says Kelly, “namely, that they take advantage of their years as undergraduates to earn a well-rounded education in the Humanities in order to construct a solid foundation on which they can build anything.” Cosgrove’s reasons for returning to SU are more complex than one might think. When she graduated, she embarked on an odyssey that took her to Latin America for extended periods in the revolutionary times of the late 1980s. An unarmed civilian in war zones, she put to use all she learned about social justice as an undergraduate at SU, first as a volunteer with human rights groups in Nicaragua, then in El Salvador. “It wasn’t about charity. It wasn’t about saving anyone, it was about learning from them, accompanying people as they transform their lives and standing in solidarity with the people of Latin America,” she says. There were those who wanted her to return to Seattle. Among them, Dave Madsen, ’69, then in his greener years of teaching at SU, who left a memorable impression on her—and soon became her sponsor/ godfather when she converted to Catholicism shortly after she found her way to Latin America. When he read a story in the Seattle Times Pacific Magazine about Cosgrove’s fundraising efforts for Latin American women whose husbands had disappeared, Madsen wrote her. He suggested Cosgrove was involved in problems much bigger than she was and maybe it was time to be thinking of people other than herself. Madsen, today an associate professor of history, chuckles over the irony—as if Cosgrove was thinking only of herself at the time. Nevertheless, in correspondence Madsen still keeps in his office file cabinet and shares with his students today, Cosgrove wrote back: “Hey, quit teaching if you don’t want some

Senior Tyler Sustare continues to improve and freshman Brian Olson led all catchers in hitting during the fall season. The combination of the four players gives us depth and great leadership to draw from. Our program and alumni have been hard at work to enhance our facilities and get us up to speed with Division I expectations. We built two new dugouts and bullpens at Bannerwood Park—site of our home games—while the City of Bellevue enhanced the park with new lighting. This should be a great season ahead for Redhawks baseball.

Senior Doug Kincaid, second on the team in RBIs last season, returns in the outfield and will be complemented in the middle of the lineup by juniors Josh Kutz and Sean Narby, along with seniors Riley Tompkins and Jace Sloan. Senior outfielders Marcelino Morales and Michael Tevlin, who is coming back from a broken wrist but had an excellent fall season before his injury, are both expected to compete at the top of the order. Returning infielders Cullen Hendrickson, Nick Latta and Nate Roberts add experience to the front end of the lineup, while junior outfielder Bryndon Ecklund could set the table or mix into the middle of the lineup after adding strength to his frame this past summer.

We are extremely excited about our third year of baseball at the Division I level. We are finally in a position in our program where we have true experience. The first freshmen in our signing class are now juniors and our junior college transfers are seniors. With their experience, coupled with a tremendously hard-working freshmen class, I expect great things this season. Our team goal for the season is to reach the 30-win mark. If we play like I know we are capable of, this is a very reachable goal. This year we have more home games than away games and we are excited for our team and fans to see us play great teams such as UConn, Portland, University of Washington, Santa Clara and BYU. We’ve added 12 new student athletes to our roster to help fill the problem areas that were exposed in the past two seasons. Pitching depth is key. Senior right-handers Brandon Kizer and Seafth Howe will anchor the pitching staff and should pitch the Redhawks into each weekend this season. Right-hander Eric

The city of Bombay. That city is a perfect blend of East and West, which gave me an appreciation for “mix and match.” And it has a funky, frenetic pace, which influences the fact that I can never, ever spend too much time putting my clothes together. Even now, I make sure I get dressed in under 15 minutes a day.

WHAT is your most cherished item of clothing?

70 70

30 30

A tweed coat I designed and got tailored in Bombay a few years ago. It's gray with red wool piping and a red wool belt. I feel wonderful every time I wear it because it brought out a fashion creativity in me and was tailored by a men’s tailor using Indian tweed and wool.

I don't enjoy “going” shopping and find very little time to do it, so I do most of my shopping online. My online shopping is all over the place. But, locally in Seattle, I stray into thrift stores and always get drawn into Banana Republic, although I don't always find the perfect clothes there. I do always find some great accessories at Nordstrom Rack, such as a lovely polka-dotted umbrella that gives me much joy in the rain. I still do most of my shopping for Western clothes and jewelry in Bombay (the city, not the store).

I resist having a signature style. I wouldn’t say I am a rebel or quirky or anything of the sort, but part of the idea of style is to let it grow as you grow as a person. I don't like when people look like they stepped out of a store window that I can identify.

HOW would you describe your look?

If I want to be pretentious, I’d call it, “intellectual chic.” But, in my humbler moments, I will say that I am just a sponge, gathering up aesthetics from wherever I have been, whether it's the streets of my hometown, or what I see in a magazine at the dentist's office or in the window of Forever 21 in downtown Seattle.

hen the call went out to alumni to solicit opinions, via a survey, on how to make the most of your university and alumni experience, you answered—loud and clear. Many alumni say they don’t feel a strong connection to the university and that their alma mater isn’t doing enough to engage them or compel them to give back. As alumni, you are proud of where you went to school but want ongoing and meaningful opportunities to contribute and reasons to return to campus. Recently, Seattle University Magazine sat down with three alumni representing three distinctive periods in SU history—pre-1970, 1971-99 and 2000-present— and got their take on what it means to be an alum of Seattle University and how their experiences helped shape who they are today.

I spoke of how one of my most heart-held hopes is for Seattle University to find new ways to engage our 67,000 alumni. This is critical. As I enter my 15th year as president, I am more and more convinced that our university can only reach its potential by connecting more fully and meaningfully with our alumni. We look to you to live out our mission, to help tell the story of our university, to support what you most prized as students and to lend your voice in shaping the direction of your alma mater.

Jim Dykeman seemed destined to attend Seattle University. Like his brother, he went to Seattle Prep (before transferring to Garfield High School) and his father was a good friend of SU’s Father James McGoldrick. The work and values of the Jesuits resonated with him. Fresh in his memory is the day when he came to SU, seeking admission, and found himself seated in the office of President Father Lemieux, his knees shaking. The meeting proved successful as he was accepted. Years later he would find himself in that same office to interview a Jesuit seeking the presidency: Stephen Sundborg, S.J. Following graduation, he served in the military, got married—to his wife of now 52 years, Geri—started a family and a career. One day he came across an event at SU, featuring the late Perry Lorenzo and operatic music, and made his way back to campus. That was more than 20 years ago and has been active with SU ever since.

The vestibule of the Admissions and Alumni Building on campus features a photo exhibit of graduates and friends of the university. Every day when I walk through the building I am inspired by these individuals, recognized for their significant contributions to Seattle University and the broader community, and by their stories. These photos inspire me daily as we work to be a world-class Alumni Relations office and presence on campus. I encourage you to stop by your home on campus, on the corner of 12th and Marion, and get inspired yourself. From our recent alumni survey, and from my own conversations with countless alumni since I became assistant vice president last June, I know you share in the passion for living out the mission of our university. You’ve told us you’re looking for something more than a social experience—you want to be able to come together in meaningful ways, to participate in activities that serve others, stimulate the mind and nurture the soul. Alumni Relations and the university as a whole are dedicated to providing opportunities that live up to your vision and our mission. By the time you read this, there will be several things in play based on your feedback. To start, there have been significant upgrades in our online presence. These include a refreshed look for our website [www.seattleu.edu/alumni/] along with improved access to get connected. More importantly, we are relaunching an updated alumni directory that will provide an online community to help better build connections for alumni. We are also increasing the visibility and engagement of the Alumni Board of Governors. We’re bolstering our career services support for all alumni. In partnership with SU’s Career Services office, we are on the path to create more opportunities for networking, internships and mentorships. Look for a reinvigorated student-alumni ambassador program coming soon. Together we are capable of much more than we can do separately. Together we will carry out the shared mission of service, affinity and pride for Seattle University. I see this as the start of a lifelong journey. Join the conversation and tell us how Seattle U can be more relevant to your life at alumnifeedback@seattleu.edu.

Police Department, who dreamed of becoming an officer ever since she was a student at Everett High School. At the time, her uncle had other ideas for his law enforcement-minded niece. “He wanted me to join the FBI,” Atwood recalls. Although she couldn’t be swayed, it would take several years before she would officially begin her career as a cop. After she graduated high school, Atwood worked mostly retail jobs. When she was 21 she had the chance to join the Mount Vernon Police Department, in Skagit County, Wash. That didn’t quite go as planned. “I took the police test and flunked it,” she says, now able to laugh it off. In the mid-1980s, Atwood’s law-enforcement career began to take off when she took a job as a Community Assistance Officer with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. During this time she also served as a crime prevention specialist, where she conducted block watch programs in neighborhoods and led seminars on personal safety. When she left the Sheriff’s Office, she headed to Florida to manage a retail store. A few years later she was back in Everett and ready to fully focus her attention on becoming a cop. After passing the necessary exams to

Everett’s Chief of Police Kathy Atwood is well acquainted with the city that the officers on her force—more than 200 strong—patrol daily. The Everett native knows the neighborhoods, the city blocks she once patrolled and the people in this city through and through. Everett, Wash., 25 miles north of Seattle, was an “AllAmerica City” in 2002 and was once known largely as a mill town and home to the late Sen. Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson, one of its most famous residents. These days, it’s perhaps best recognized as home to Boeing’s central production plant and Naval Station Everett. The city has a small town, community-focused feel despite its population of more than 103,000 residents, making it the fourth largest metropolis in the Puget Sound region. Atwood’s family has deep roots here. For years, they operated Solie Funeral Home near downtown Everett and a cemetery in the south end of town. Her upbringing was not reminiscent of the TV show Six Feet Under, however. It was, she says, quite normal, even though she lived at the funeral home with her family (they occupied the basement) until age 2. Working in the city where she was raised carries special meaning for Atwood, a 22-year veteran of the Everett

Taking on the role of Chief of Police was not top of mind for Atwood, who was approaching her 50th birthday and considering retirement. That changed in late 2010 when her predecessor, Police Chief Jim Scharf, announced his retirement and recommended Atwood as his replacement. This past July she officially began her tenure. “I’m humbled that I was chosen and also very proud that the department and city helped create a foundation for me to be successful,” she says. As police chief, Atwood’s typical day involves handling personnel issues, making hiring decisions, lots of meetings and engagement with community groups. Atwood also serves on various boards, committees and associations, including the FBI National Academy Association (Washington chapter)—she is a 2003 graduate of the FBI National Academy—and the Dawson Place Child Advocacy Board of Directors. Additionally, she is on the Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force Executive Board and the executive board for the NW High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). As a guest lecturer for the criminal justice program at Everett Community College, she often covers topics pertaining to women in law enforcement, drawing from personal experience. One of her immediate priorities as chief is developing a long-term strategic plan for the department. Another is staffing. “One of my goals is to get us up to full staff,” she says, adding that the department is fortunate as one of the few in the region to be hiring. As she talks about her work, Atwood is conversational and friendly, at times self-effacing. She isn’t fazed that she is the first woman police chief in Everett. In fact, she downplays its significance while acknowledging that other women in this line of work may have faced greater adversity because of gender. “I view myself as a police officer. The gender makes

become an officer, she started on patrol in Everett in 1989 and never looked back. Fairly early on in her career she was doing special operations and undercover work that included posing as a prostitute in a John sting. “It was very stressful. You have to maintain your safety at all times,” she recalls of the experience. This type of undercover work was especially difficult, Atwood says, because she had to assimilate into a culture that was foreign to her. She also had to learn what she calls the “sub-culture language” and slang used in that world and be convincing in wrangling a deal all the while maintaining her cover. “Prostitution is a tragic lifestyle and in many ways I consider the women and girls, and young men as well, who are involved in prostitution victims,” she says. “I don’t know of anyone who grew up aspiring to be a prostitute.” Atwood has made it a personal mission to reduce prostitution and human trafficking citywide. The Everett Police Department is part of the Sexual Exploitation Intervention Network in Snohomish County and Atwood was instrumental in developing the group in its early days when it was known as the Prostitution Prevention Network. The network, which consists of social service agencies and law enforcement partners, works to assist young people who were in the sex-trade industry and provides programs and services for them to get out the business and lead healthy, productive lives. “Through these efforts we endeavor to ‘rescue’ young women and get them on a new track,” says Atwood. “I’m in a position to continue to support these efforts by allocating resources in that direction.” Atwood, a single mother to teenage son Andy, worked her way up the ranks in the department, from patrol officer to detective to sergeant, then on to lieutenant, captain and deputy chief.

“It has meant a lot to me not only to have the credential that the MPA has given me but also the advantage of seeing the bigger picture,” she says. “When making decisions I consider how they effect things both internally and externally. I look at the responsibility we have to help create a safe place to work, live and play, which ties into the economic vitality of our city.” When talk turns to her proudest moments as Chief of Police, Atwood touts the department’s many community outreach programs that focus on crime prevention, the success of the gang prevention visits to area high schools and resource officers in the public schools that put a friendly face on public safety. She also praises her colleagues and those who have helped her get to where she is today. “I’m proud to be part of a wonderful organization that is full of high-caliber professionals,” Atwood says. “I’m also very proud of the hard-working men and women here, the work they do and the difference they make.”

no difference to me,” Atwood says. “Most departments now have an acceptance for diversity. I’ve always been surrounded by a culture that values diversity and women. It has been a non-issue. I am just treated as a police officer.” In the late 1990s, she began to contemplate going back to school to get a master’s degree. She saw it as a way to enhance her managerial skills and challenge herself. Although familiar with Seattle University, she didn’t know too much about its master’s degree offerings until she started talking to a woman at a baseball game who was a graduate of the Master in Teaching program. After doing some research of her own, Atwood decided to apply to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program. Shortly after being admitted to the program, she became a detective and started a family. “I had an infant while in grad school,” she says. In 1999, she graduated from SU with an MPA and finds she still draws from the knowledge she gained in the program.

The Cashmans met as students at Seattle University in 1971— Alan was a business major and Bonnie studied psychology—and they’ve been together ever since. (The Cashmans’ roots at SU are deep, as Alan’s father Ben was the head of the political science department; Bonnie’s brother is a 1967 graduate and Alan’s brother Jeff a 1978 law grad.) When the couple decided to start a new business, Lab 5 Fitness, it made sense for them to stay on Capitol Hill, near the SU campus, having met here and lived on the Hill for the past 40 years. The concept for Lab 5 Fitness came together several years after Bonnie experienced a herniated disc and suffered from various neck problems. She began Pilates classes in Palm Springs, where she and Alan live part of the year and fell in love with the exercise. During a morning class, she was mesmerized by an older woman working out on a Pilates reformer machine. When she asked the instructor about her, she was amazed to learn that the woman was nearly 80 years old. Back in Seattle, Bonnie was unable to find a Pilates class that offered the same benefits as the studio in California, so she bought a reformer and trained at home. “I couldn’t find … something that was high energy, fun and effective.” “I wanted to create something like that here,” says Bonnie. And soon Lab 5 was born. “We love watching people’s mental and physical transformations, and seeing their confidence levels increase,” says Bonnie. “We’re not in the fitness business; we’re in the people business providing fitness, which is an unusual approach. Too many people forget to focus on the people.” Lab 5, on Broadway, is a comprehensive studio offering mat and reformer Pilates, yoga, stretch, bar and aerial conditioning classes. The stars of the studio are the 10 Pilates reformer machines, custom-designed for lengthening and conditioning the body. Reformer classes are 50 minutes long with various focuses. Lab 5 memberships work like a punch card, allowing individuals to take advantage of the different class offerings, each personalized to accommodate various body types and physical limitations. Alan and Bonnie believe that the experience they had at Seattle University helped shape their success. “People who are attracted to Seattle University are people who are accomplished throughout their lives and who want to give back to the community because of what we got as students,” says Alan. “The things our parents taught us at home growing up were reinforced at Seattle University through the Jesuit teaching model.“

Aided by his girlfriend Peggy, the daughter of a deceased Union soldier and an archivist at the Library of Congress, Armitage ultimately unravels the truth, nearly losing his life in the process. Meeting the requirement of a good historical mystery novel, at the conclusion of Devil’s Den we are left wondering, “What if?” Without giving away the ending, what if the famed Gettysburg address delivered by Lincoln had not been so pithy? What if Hoover hadn’t pushed for early forensic practices to be put in place by the FBI? And bigger picture, what if the Union hadn’t won the Battle of Gettysburg? It’s impossible to answer such questions, but Devil’s Den, through a skillful display of historical fiction, makes us ponder the alternative possibilities to today’s reality.

characters with real life icons including J. Edgar Hoover, Charles Lindbergh, Abraham Lincoln and George McClellan. A 20-something Hoover, trusted aide Helen Gandy by his side, plays a central role in the storyline as he makes his way up the law-enforcement ladder. The trail of corruption and coverup Armitage discovers stretches over a period of six decades from the Battle of Gettysburg to the corridors of the Harding-era Congress. As he tracks his suspects, Prohibition is in full swing, racial injustice rampant and Civil War veterans are falling like flies— murdered in cold blood. In order to find the killer, Armitage must figure out what links the victims, naïve to the fact that the investigation is being manipulated by Harry M. Daugherty, a real-life Attorney General in the Harding administration.

Devil’s Den, written by Timothy Ashby, ’05 JD, is set in two different eras: the 1860’s and the roaring 1920’s. Ashby masterfully mixes characters and scenes from these periods to craft a page-turner that mixes history, mystery, romance and political intrigue. The historical novel begins with an elderly Union veteran being brutally murdered on the battlefield of Gettysburg just weeks before the 60th anniversary of the Civil War’s climactic battle. Seth Armitage, an agent of the nascent Bureau of Investigation (BI)— a precursor to the FBI—is assigned to the murder case. Armitage, a Virginian whose grandfather was killed in the Civil War, traverses the streets of Boston to the plains of Kansas and unearths a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of Washington. Meticulously researched, Ashby seamlessly integrates fictional

Recently Jordan contacted the magazine as a follow up to our winter 2010 issue, “Love, SU Style.” She and James wanted to share their story of finding love at SU: My husband and I have something very special in common with his parents, Mike Markert, ’66, and Mary Caldwell, ’67, who met each other while attending SU—actually, their first real meeting was a blind date over President’s Day weekend in February 1966. Their first ‘official’ date was at a Seattle U men’s basketball game vs. Texas Western. The couple were married in Yakima, Wash., Jan. 18, 1969, and have been happily married for nearly 43 years. Who knew that when Mike and Mary had their first date in 1966, they would start a legacy of love followed by their youngest son, James. I met James in Señor Gabriel Anderson’s Spanish class. We spent the better part of two quarters as classmates, occasionally hanging out together at Kelly’s Pizza across from campus. After coyly slipping James my number, he asked me out. We had our first date on Feb. 4, 2005, and have been inseparable since. On May 5, 2007, James asked me to marry him as we sat on a porch swing in the quaint town of Port Gamble. We married there on Feb. 7, 2008. Currently I work as a legal assistant at the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and James is merchandising manager at Columbia Distributing Company. If ever James and I are blessed with children, we must insist that at least one of them attend Seattle U because, according to tradition, their beloved spouse awaits them there.

In 1997, the Chapel of St. Ignatius arose on the campus of Seattle University, becoming in the years since the spiritual center of the SU landscape and an architectural achievement marveled at by visitors near and far. This is not your typical chapel—once inside, visitors are greeted with interesting angles, high ceilings, curvy lines, white textured walls and a lightness of space. The chapel, as envisioned by award-winning architect—and Bremerton, Wash.-born—Steven Holl, has been the place of countless Masses, joyous occasions and somber

The chapel, which opened on Palm Sunday 15 years ago, is constructed around this idea of “seven bottles of light in a stone box,” with each bottle or vessel of light corresponding to an aspect of Catholic worship. Visitors to the chapel will notice the way the light is diffused and cast on the walls and throughout the space, no matter the time of day or the season. The chapel’s size provides an intimate place for prayer and liturgy. The Chapel of St. Ignatius is a landmark that attracts visitors from far and wide and from all faith communities.

remembrances. Many couples have wed there and many individuals have found its quiet beauty the perfect place to steal away from the day a few moments for reflection and discernment. When crafting this distinctive and modernistic space, Holl followed a concept based on “a gathering of different lights” to guide his design. Metaphorically this gathering of lights speaks to the vision of its namesake St. Ignatius of a spiritual life that consists of light and darkness, which St. Ignatius referred to as ”consolation“ and ”desolation.“
