CLARK II ’67 321 N Oakhurst Dr Apt 304 Beverly Hills, CA 90210-5826 [email protected] (310) 858-6886 Dr. Clark, a long-time advocate for the environment and renewable energy, is an internationally recognized author, lecturer, public speaker, and advisor specializing in sustainable communities. Dr. Clark was one of the contribut- ing scientists to the work of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) which as an organization as awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2007. In 2004, he founded, and now manages, Clark Strategic Partners (CSP), an environmental and renewable energy consulting firm using his political- economic expertise in order to guide, advise and implement for public and private clients worldwide – specifically on sustainable smart green communities of all kinds ranging from colleges and universities to shopping malls, office buildings, and film studios. Dr. Clark’s five books and 50+ peer-reviewed articles reflect that concern for global sustainable commu- nities. His last book is Global Energy Innovations (Praeger Press, November 2011) which concerns the “green industrial revolution” (GIR). He explains his work as being the solution to climate change through public policy, science and technologies, economics and finance. Clark also teaches graduate courses in these areas throughout the USA and internationally. Currently, Clark is Academic Specialist, UCLA Provost Office and Cross-Disciplinary Scholars in Science and Technology. Prior to launching CSP, Dr. Clark was Senior Advisor on Renewable Energy, Emerging Technologies, and Finance to California Governor Gray Davis from 2000-2003. Before that from 1999-2000, he was a Visit- ing Professor of Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship at Aalborg University, Denmark, where he was a Fulbright Fellow in 1994. Dr. Clark was the Manager of Strategic Planning for Technology Transfer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for the University of California and U.S. Department of Energy, during the 1990s. In 1980, he founded a mass media company in San Francisco, CA, Clark Communications, specializing in the production and distribution of documentary and educational films focused on social issues such as sexual harassment, health issues, and older workers along with other topics including books from dramatic current events. Dr. Clark earned three Master’s degrees from different universities in Illinois and his Ph.D. at University of California, Berkeley.

I’m retired from the ministry and Donna from teaching. We have six grandchildren, aged from six to eighteen. We spend most of our time here in Marion, Ohio, but also two months in Ocean Point, Maine, and two months in St. Augustine, Florida. We volunteer at the com- munity food pantry, Meals on Wheels, Marion Development Disabilities Agency, and the YMCA. As the co-founder of Pedaling Parsons, I’m still involved in long-distance cycling, including riding across coun- try from Seattle to Bar Harbor, Maine, three summers ago. DANIEL F. CRUM ’67 19 Pearl Garden Ct The Woodlands, TX 77384-4541 (281) 579-2028 In 1993 I completed a twenty-five year career flying in the Air Force, and then relocated from Virginia to Texas where I started a second career in teaching. After work in Texas and Oklahoma, I settled back in Texas just north of Houston where I am now in my fifteenth year of instructing young Air Force Junior ROTC cadets in a 5A high school. Along the way, I picked up a Master’s degree through Louisiana Tech and later completed further courses in psychology and history. When not in the classroom, I find flying is still my greatest passion, so I avail myself weekly and then throughout the summer with the Civil Air Patrol for regular train- ing and evaluation flights. With one son and his family only two hours away, I see them frequently, but have to play catch-up each August for two weeks in New England with my other son and his family as we camp on Sebago Lake, ME. Retirement plans are still vague, but that day will soon come. For now, it’s still fun coming to school each day—it’s my fountain of youth. CAROLYN ROOT DEIBEL ’67 12709 Brushwood Ter Potomac, MD 20854-1003 [email protected] (301) 869-6745 Many of you have seen the OWU Magazine obituary for my dear husband, Terry. That has defined my Class of 1967 life since 2010. Before that, Terry was looking forward to an exciting retirement, having just published a successful book on foreign affairs strategy. He struggled for almost a year against a fast-growing cancer and died sooner than we expected on October 26, 2010. Now I am trying to figure out the rest of my life as a widow. I am very blessed to have three wonderful children, a supportive family, and many friends in the congregation of my Episcopal church. In an unex- pected turn-of-events, I was asked to replace our director of music. This is a life-saver because it gives me a reason to get out of bed each morning. I now have my very own adult choir for the first time in my musical career which I love! And I’m gaining more experience in organ playing, something I’ve wanted for some time. I still teach a few piano students, however, I’ve given up singing for now because it is too difficult emotionally. I hope to see many former classmates at this reunion and to connect with those of you who could not make it this year. Please forgive my not keeping in better touch during this difficult stage of my life. My favorite Ohio Wesleyan memory is of how my life converged with that of Terry Deibel on the OWU campus in 1963 and how our romantic relationship commenced on the A Cappella Choir Europe tour in 1967. MARY DRYDEN ’67 5426 N Wilson Ave Fresno, CA 93704-1928 [email protected] (559) 440-0825 In 1967 I began career in computer software. I got my Masters in EE in 1975. I spent 1976 traveling in a camper to all 50 states. I moved to San Francisco Bay Area and started working for Hewlett- Packard. Divorced. Survived. Thrived! I spent 1991-92 solo backpacking around the world; I scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef, parachuted in New Zealand, and rode elephants in Thailand. Most inter- esting countries: Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. I was wowed by 2 total solar eclipses – India in 1995 and Turkey in 1999. I survived a 7.4 earthquake in Istanbul. I retired from HP after 22 years in 2000 and started my 2nd career as a realtor/home stager in 2003. I am currently joyously living in beautiful Fresno, CA (67 degrees in February!). Favorite quote: “I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” Greatest joys: my friends, my garden, traveling, and photography.
