Preface

Twenty-six authors from the Duke Class of 1969 participated in a book exhibit Reunion Weekend, April 12 to 14. The exhibit in the Bryan Center, sponsored by the Duke Alumni Association, displayed up to four titles for each author plus Personal Statements on their motivation in writing their books. The exhibit included prolific and prize-winning authors, as well as some who began writing after another career. This is the third time the DAA has sponsored book exhibit for the 50th reunion. The Class of 1969 joins the classes of 1964 and 1968. This report presents these 26 mini-essays, along with the titles from the exhibit. We are also reproducing a bibliography of all books by the class authors, a number of whom have more than ten titles. We hope you enjoy these first-person stories of the authors and that you decide to read some of the many books they wrote. Enjoy!

Summary We begin with excerpts from the Personal Statements to give you an overview of the works and lives of members of the Class of 1969. You will find many of the quotes to be powerful and moving. Some of our authors, of course, referenced their time at Duke as a source of inspiration: • The germ of becoming a writer landed in my head from my freshman history textbook, A History of the Modern World, by R.R. Palmer of Princeton and Joel Colton of Duke, who, despite his Olympian stature, could often be seen walking the quads. – William Stadiem, best-selling author • Being at Duke, majoring in French (and Messiah in the Chapel Choir), during those socially awakening and tumultuous years, has been part of my journey into working with young children and their families, and with graduate students in Early Childhood Education…. – Edyth James Wheeler, professor and expert on early childhood conflict • My commitment and passion for advocacy and social justice was sparked by two summers in Nicaragua, as part of a Duke project providing basic health care in a community with no running water or electricity. – Margarete Lieb Zalon, national leader in nursing • I applied early to Duke to study oceanography, and I was surprised not only to be accepted but also to learn there was no undergraduate program in oceanography. Two Duke professors were important mentors. Terry Johnson (Botany) helped create the first- ever (ad hoc) undergraduate science interdisciplinary program at Duke, which allowed me to take grad courses and courses at the Marine Lab. Orrin Pilkey (Geology) introduced me to my future major prof. at FSU, where I earned an MS in oceanography and a PhD in geochemistry. – Steve Lindberg, prize-winning geoscientist • Being at Duke has been a dream job, combining the freedom to do research on a wide variety of topics with the stimulation of being around great colleagues and stimulating students. – Charles Clotfelter, widely published Duke professor Writers, photographers and film-makers talk about their art: • While sitting around after graduation, waiting to be drafted, I applied in the news department of a Tennessee TV station. They hired me on the spot. Mainly because the guy who had had the job quit that morning without giving notice. I’ve been a writer ever since. I’ve written all sorts of stuff over the years… [and] I’ve published 15 books since I graduated from Duke. – Vince Staten, widely published writer of humor and history • After moving to St. Louis, where we raised two boys, I worked as a magazine editor, newspaper editor and TV producer before finding the best fit: freelance journalist and essayist …. My first book, The Marriage Sabbatical: The Journey that Brings You Home, sparked controversy. It was featured on “Oprah…” – Cheryl (Oetter) Jarvis, also author of The Necklace • Photography is my golf and fishing, but it has not been my livelihood. – Walter Chapin, school teacher and waiter with numerous books of photography.

• ,,, I have had a delightful life making independent documentaries about subjects always dear to my heart. – Ross Spears, film documentarian, Academy Award nominee, and author • I knew that only the choir reads temperately argued policy analyses, so I chose the save- the-world genre; all the better to propagandize innocent seekers of pool-side distraction. – John Vick Mickey, physician and novelist • As a hobby, I wrote screenplays, short stories, and novels, and I was even invited to pitch scripts at Paramount Studios for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but compared to practicing medicine, writing was a distant third interest (my family forgives me for putting them second to patients). – Robert Herrin, oral surgeon and novelist • I went on to study religion and psychology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Later, I met my husband, Dennis Linn, and his brother Matt, both Jesuit priests at the time. Together we've written 23 books that integrate spirituality with psychology, medicine, and science. – Sheila Fabricant Linn, widely published author on pastoral ministry Not all writings are pleasant – some record pure horror: • As we gathered, the KKK and Nazis drove up and opened fire on us, killing five activists, three of whom were Duke people –including my first husband, Michael Nathan MD (Duke 1969 and Duke Med 1973). Paul Bermanzohn (Duke MD 1974), my husband then and today, survived a bullet wound to the brain that permanently partially paralyzed him. – Sally Avery Bermanzohn, professor and novelist • Worst reporting day of my life was 1979's Greensboro Massacre, where we lost Mike Nathan. Several foreign reporting forays, including Northern Ireland, 1973. Spent 15 months in 1982-83 as an editorial advisor for the Xinhua (New China) News Agency in Beijing. – Mark Pinsky, reporter and widely published author of The Gospel According to Disney and many other books Many of our writers are experts in their fields: • Shortly after beginning my medical career, I began to seriously question almost everything that experts were teaching about stress and happiness. In particular, I began to question the wisdom of teaching people to manage their stress, as if this is the best possible way to deal with it (it’s not). – Mort Orman, physician and best-selling author on stress • I had gained a front row seat for the debate over ObamaCare. I took notes all day and wrote at night. This book, Congressional Malpractice, is the result. It’s the view of a lifelong academic physician of the sausage-making process of federal legislation on the subject I care most about, health care. – Leonard Zwelling, physician, researcher and health care expert • The trajectory of my writings goes from Berlioz…, through chronicles of the Paris Conservatory Orchestra … and Charles Munch, the … conductor, and The Orchestra: A Very Short Introduction, on the symphony orchestra of the present. – D. Kern Holoman, music professor and expert on 19th century music

• I was teaching at a boys’ school and realized that education was not meeting their needs, so I went back to graduate school, getting a PhD in educational psychology from UVA in 2001 – OK, that makes March complicated, but at least I stuck with an ACC school. – Abigail Norfleet James, award-winning author on youth education

Many writers are motivated by the experience or memory of place: • After my father’s death, I discovered more of his paintings and writings and, in parallel, my own history through his view of our hometown in Ohio. – Janis Johnson, educational consultant • For many years I worked for a non-profit agency that sent me into the coalfields, a place that felt like a world apart for the city girl, but it was here that I fell in love with hard- working people whose lives were so totally different from mine. – Kathy Cunning Shearer, widely published author on Appalachia • “His poetry—candid, lush, lyrical—is informed by the Southern landscape and voices of his youth, and his style is reminiscent of John Ashbery and Charles Wright. – From the Poetry Foundation on the prize-winning novelist and poet, Charlie Smith • “The farm” is where I have lived and worked and played for most of my adult life. It is part of a much larger tract that was purchased in 1796 by an ancient English grandfather through Virginia Treasury Warrants signed by Patrick Henry. – Charles Dowling Williams, tree farmer and poet • Whenever I dream of a story, I feel the magic of southern mysteries, legends, and jokes handed down through generations of storytellers, people like me. – Sally Whitney, journalist and writer • In 1969, I joined the Peace Corps and flew to India.... When I visited the India family where I had lived 33 years earlier, the structure became clear for The Crane Dance. The India trips became bookends for this memoir on midlife. – Bill Finger, prolific freelance writer and author • I have had had enriching experiences working with wonderful but severely impoverished people around the world: three years in Bolivia as a Methodist medical missionary and Duke faculty member; four years in Bangladesh as a Hopkins staff member; and four years in Haiti as head of the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer. – Henry Perry, physician, surgeon and international public health expert • I decided on becoming an oceanographer. I did, settling in St. John's, Canada. A great place for oceanography (and icebergs). – David Schneider, oceanographer and pioneer in scaling theory

Part I. Authors and Books General Charles Clotfelter I majored in history at Duke, and I had the chance to take wonderful courses from professors like Jack Cell, Sydney Nathans, and Richard Watson. In my last year I became more and more interested in the economics of it all, and I managed to get admitted to the economics PhD program at Harvard. My first academic job was at the University of Maryland. In 1979 I came to Duke’s nearly new public policy institute. Being at Duke has been a dream job, combining the freedom to do research on a wide variety of topics with the stimulation of being around great colleagues and stimulating students. I have been able to write on topics of both interest and importance, including those on display here: Big-Time Sports in American Universities (2019); Unequal Colleges in the Age of Disparity (2017); After Brown: The Rise and Retreat of School Desegregation (2004), and Buying the Best: Cost Escalation in Elite Higher Education (1996). I have also written on lotteries, philanthropy, tax policy and tax evasion. If you come back for the reunion, be ready to see lots of new buildings! I’ll be in one of them, the Sanford School’s Rubenstein Hall, room 190. • Big-Time Sports in American Universities, 2d. ed., Cambridge U. Press, 2019. • Unequal Colleges in the Age of Disparity, The Belknap Press of Harvard U. Press, 2017. • After Brown: The Rise and Retreat of School Desegregation, Princeton U.

Vince Staten WHY I BECAME A WRITER. The simple answer is: I was never any good at anything else. And I wasn’t even sure I was any good at writing. I got a C in Freshman English at Duke. I was a math major until I took a Screenwriting course at That Nameless College Ten Miles Away and got an A. After I figured out it wasn’t a typo, I thought I had found my calling. My last semester at Duke I wrote and directed a film for Windsor House that won the Duke International Film Festival. (International?) While sitting around after graduation, waiting to be drafted, I applied in the news department at a Tennessee TV station. They hired me on the spot. Mainly because the guy who had had the job quit that morning without giving notice. I’ve been a writer ever since. I’ve written all sorts of stuff over the years, for book publishers, magazines, newspapers, even an animated TV series. I’ve published 15 books since I graduated from Duke. At Harper & Row (it was still Harper & Row when I signed with them) I shared an editor with Harper Lee. But at Simon & Schuster I seemed to be an editor killer. Six different editors. One editor was fired; another left to tour with his band!

If there is a lesson in this, it’s don’t worry about a C in freshman English. It has nothing to do with becoming a writer. • Real Barbecue: The Classic Barbecue Guide to the Best Joints Across the USA (w/ G.

Hardware Stores and Hardware Stories, Simon & Schuster, 1996. • Ol' Diz: A Biography of Dizzy Dean, HarperCollins, 1992. Plus ten other volumes in the bibliography.

William Stadiem The germ of becoming a writer landed in my head from my freshman history textbook, A History of the Modern World, by R.R. Palmer of Princeton and Joel Colton of Duke, who, despite his Olympian stature, could often be seen walking the quads. I had no idea a history book could be so much fun. Colton admitted to the New York Times that, “It was never intended to be only a textbook. It was meant to be a book to be read.” Inspired by Colton, I tried my best to follow his shimmering example in my term paper about the two great dueling Victorian Prime Ministers, William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli. The course instructor, a charismatic young scholar, instead of flaying me, as I feared, for getting it all wrong, gave me kudos for making it “so much fun.” I left his office thinking I was the second coming of Joel Colton. That coming, such as it was, took another decade to arrive. I transferred to Columbia, then went to Harvard Law and Business, and finally worked in a dream job on Wall Street – only to learn that I had absolutely no interest in an Establishment career. But that education also prepared me for many other things, not the least of which was a writing career whose goal was to make history fun. It also gave me the courage (or, madness) to follow my passion and embark on a freelance high-wire creative life of working without a net. So, after fourteen books and millions of copies worldwide, thanks Duke, for opening my eyes and showing me that there is always another way. • Madame Claude: Her Secret World of Pleasure, Privilege, and Power, St. Martin’s Press, 2018. • Jet Set: The People, the Planes, the Glamour, and the Romance in Aviation's Glory Years, Ballantine Books, 2014. • Moneywood: Hollywood and Its Last Excess, St. Martin's Press, 2012.

Ross Spears

When I dropped out of Duke Medical School a week before entering, I saw an old friend in the gardens and told him what I had done. He was delighted, and I will never forget his words: "YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE ROMANCE OF AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE!" Was he ever prescient! For me, however, I have had a delightful life making independent documentaries about subjects always dear to my heart. I am always learning, learning, learning – what could be better? • The High Holy Days Video Project (Video documentary), 2010. • Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People (TV Mini-Series documentary), 2009. • Tell About the South: Voices in Black and White (TV Movie documentary) 1998. • To Render a Life (Documentary), 1992. • Long Shadows (Documentary), 1987. • The Electric Valley (Documentary), 1983. • Agee: His Life Remembered (w/ R.

Sally Avery Bermanzohn In Through Survivors' Eyes: From the Sixties to the Greensboro Massacre, I wanted to tell the story of what happened that day in Greensboro. After graduation, I stayed in Durham, working in the poverty program with poor black and white women. A few years later, I joined the union organizing drive at Duke Medical Center. In 1979, on November 3, my friends and I drove to Greensboro to protest against the Ku Klux Klan. As we gathered, the KKK and Nazis drove up and opened fire on us, killing five activists, three of whom were Duke people –including my first husband, Michael Nathan MD (Duke 1969 and Duke Med 1973). Paul Bermanzohn (Duke MD 1974), my husband then and today, survived a bullet wound to the brain that permanently partially paralyzed him. Writing this book helped me heal. I joined the political science faculty at Brooklyn College after receiving my PhD from City University of New York. I began writing fiction when I retired. My historical novels take place in the northern hills of Alabama, based on family stories from my mother and her relatives. These tales, told through the eyes of people living in the 19th century, deal with Indian removal, slavery, Civil War, and poverty. The history is real. The characters come from my imagination. Indian Annie, a Grandmother's Story, now in print, will be followed by two more novels, Willow's Secrets, and The Firekeeper. • Indian Annie: A Grandmother's Story, Bluejay Books, 2017. • Through Survivors' Eyes: From the Sixties to the Greensboro Massacre, Vanderbilt U. Press, 2003.

Mark I. Pinsky Ever since my days as the Chronicle’s “Readable Radical,” writing for me has been about politics and making social change. After the Chronicle, I wrote for several local underground papers, then for the Associated Press in Raleigh (fired for getting arrested on my day off at Mayday, 1971, in D.C. with my younger brother Paul, now a Maryland state senator). Columbia Journalism School followed. The 1970s brought writing about racial and economic justice (often the lack of it) in NC and the Southeast, freelancing for lefty publications and for more respectable clients like the New York Times national desk and other papers, magazines and news services in the Northeast and UK. Worst reporting day of my life was 1979's Greensboro Massacre, where we lost Mike Nathan. Several foreign reporting forays, including Northern Ireland, 1973. Spent 15 months in 1982-83 as an editorial advisor for the Xinhua (New China) News Agency in Beijing. Then went straight (more or less) for 25 years as a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times and Orlando Sentinel. I continued to view the world through the prisms of race, class, gender and orientation. Diluted my politics (somewhat) in exchange for broader audiences. Still, I ended up on double secret probation at both papers. With the newspaper collapse imminent, I pivoted to the books you see here. Married (almost 40 years) to Sallie Brown ’71; father of Asher ’10 and Liza ’13 Brown-Pinsky. • Met Her on the Mountain: A Forty-Year Quest to Solve the Appalachian Cold-Case Murder of Nancy Morgan, John F.

William (Bill) Finger In 1969, I joined the Peace Corps and flew to India. Upon return a year later, I experienced a deep depression. When I received status as a Conscientious Objector, I found new energy and purpose. After alternative service and short-term jobs, I pursued a writing career. The investigative journal Southern Exposure gave me a start, and I published more than 100 freelance articles in 40 newspapers and magazines including The New York Times. I also edited the journal of the N.C. Center for Public Policy Research from 1980 to 1988 and edited a book on The Tobacco Industry in Transition (1981). In the late 1980s, I became depressed again. I received help from the men’s movement, meditation, dance, and storytelling – along with Prozac and a great psychiatrist. When I visited

10 the India family where I had lived 33 years earlier, the structure became clear for The Crane Dance. The India trips became bookends for this memoir on midlife. At FHI 360 from 1989 to 2013, I wrote more than 80 articles for the award-winning public health bulletin Network, reported on international health meetings, and worked with researchers on publications. In 2002, I got an MSW at UNC, keeping my job at FHI and my sports loyalties with Duke. I have lived in Raleigh since 1977 with my wife, Georgia Springer (Duke, 1970), raising our children and enjoying our grandchildren. I also have a new project, writing about the role of tennis in my life, nurtured by my three years on the Duke varsity team. • The Crane Dance: Taking Flight in Midlife, JourneyCake Spirit, 2016.

Cheryl (Oetter) Jarvis Duke affected my writing career in a significant way. It’s where I met my husband, who gave me the confidence to make personal thoughts public. Today, it’s what I strive to give those I teach and coach. After moving to St. Louis, where we raised two boys, I worked as a magazine editor, newspaper editor and TV producer before finding the best fit: freelance journalist and essayist for publications ranging from Cosmopolitan to the Wall Street Journal and writing instructor at Washington University. My first book, The Marriage Sabbatical: The Journey that Brings You Home, sparked controversy. It was featured on “Oprah,” CNN's “Crossfire,” and Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect.” At 54, I headed west to earn a graduate degree in screenwriting and playwriting at USC. I wrote a play, The Water Cure, that won a competition and was produced in LA. My second book, The Necklace, published in 19 countries and optioned by Fox Searchlight, has led to women around the world replicating the premise: how sharing a luxury necklace can lead to making a difference in a community. After living in Boulder, Cambridge, and LA, I’m back in St. Louis, where, besides working on my own material, I help others, including formerly incarcerated women, to write their stories. I’ve concluded that I didn’t choose writing as a profession. It chose me. So, I don’t imagine I’ll ever stop writing. I do hope I can stop online dating. • The Necklace: Thirteen Women and The Experiment That Transformed Their Lives, Ballantine Books, 2009. • The Marriage Sabbatical: The Journey That Brings You Home, Broadway Books, 2001.

Kathy Cunning Shearer I have been living in the Appalachian Mountains since graduation, first in Georgia and then in Virginia, where my husband, Rees (Duke ’68), and I make our home in Emory today. For many years I worked for a non-profit agency that sent me into the coalfields, a place that felt like a world apart for the city girl, but it was here that I fell in love with hard-working people whose lives were so totally different from mine. I wanted to tell their stories, so I began collecting oral and pictorial history in 1997 and published my first book in 2001. Four more followed. I seek out people who have experienced a way of life that has largely disappeared: in company coal towns, in railroad towns, and on tenant farms. I combine their stories and their pictures with documentary research to create books that honor and preserve their community histories. My rewards and inspiration come from my readers’ delight in seeing their lives, and those of their families and friends, truly presented. Author Hal Crowther reviewed Memories from Dante, for the Journal of Appalachian Studies (Spring 2003). He graciously commented on my “unblinking account” of the dangers underground as well as the endurance of the people. “Their memories speak to the strength of the bonds that were forged. This invaluable book honors their resilience.” • Working for Stuarts: Life on One of the Oldest and Largest Cattle Farms East of the Mississippi, Clinch Mountain Press, 2015. • Cleveland on the Clinch, Clinch Mountain Press, 2009. • Wilder Days: Coal Town Life on Dumps Creek, Clinch Mountain Press, 2006. • Memories from Dante: The Life of a Coal Town, People Inc. of Southwest Virginia, 2001.

Sheila Fabricant Linn In high school, I had a teacher who saw me...really saw me. She taught psychology, which fascinated me. She brought me books about spirituality, which she somehow knew I would find just as fascinating. She stayed after school to discuss them with me. At Duke, I majored in psychology. But something was wrong. In abnormal psych class, the professor drew colored blotches on a slide he was projecting onto a screen. He said, "This is the ego, this is the id," and so forth. Finally, he drew brackets around the whole thing and said, "This is a person." Then I knew what was wrong. The mysterious something more that makes us truly human was missing. I changed my major to religion. I went on to study religion and psychology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Later, I met my husband, Dennis Linn, and his brother Matt, both Jesuit priests at the time. Together we've written 23 books that integrate spirituality with psychology, medicine, and science. Our books have been translated into about 25 languages, and we've given conferences all over the world. Every book is about some aspect of the human journey to remember who we are...to see ourselves and be seen. Much of our work has been in Latin America, which has deepened my commitment to social justice and nonviolent action. (The Duke Vigil…)

Denny and I were married in 1989. Most recently we wrote The Two Hands of Yes and No (Orbis, 2019) with our college-age son, John, who has grown up in a home committed to personal growth, justice, and peace.

Art, Photography and Music D. Kern Holoman The trajectory of my writings goes from Berlioz, the life and work of the great French composer- conductor Hector Berlioz, through chronicles of the Paris Conservatory Orchestra (now the Orchestre de Paris) and Charles Munch, the Alsatian / Paris / Boston conductor, and The Orchestra: A Very Short Introduction, on the symphony orchestra of the present. A textbook, guide for concert-goers, guide for writers, and a couple of coffee-table books fall in there, too. All of these intersect in one way or another with my other career and passion, orchestral conducting, which I've been delighted to practice for more than 50 years, most of them at the University of California, Davis. Writing About Music, cited by the Chicago Manual of Style as the go-to resource for music terminology and documentation, recently entered its third edition, wherein we had to confront the wacky world of posts and tweets and YouTube. Betty (also Duke '69) and I divide our time between Davis and our house in France, across the river from Monet's Giverny—and frequent trips to San Diego, where both children and the grandchildren live. • Writing about Music: A Style Sheet (3d. ed.), U. of California Press, 2014. • The Orchestra: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford U.

Walter Chapin Photography is my golf and fishing, but it has not been my livelihood. My time at Duke afforded opportunities to see what I could do with photography and what it could do with me. I worked

13 for our publications, particularly The Chanticleer, with great interest and delight, but it held no appeal as a profession. Professionally, I’ve been a waiter and a high school teacher. Waiting was my social and culinary education, and teaching English and history became my profession. I was a good waiter but an excellent teacher. My employment in education was always with the reluctant and the disadvantaged. The challenges were good for me as a person, and I was able to do a lot of good for others in turn. Waiting and teaching have informed my work as much as art, music, nature, and travel. For the past thirty years I’ve lived and worked in Kitsap County, Washington across the Sound from Seattle. Elena Argomaniz and I have been married for forty-one years. She has influenced my work more than anyone else.

Janis Johnson I chose Duke to widen my horizons, and I left Duke intent on exploring the world. Decades later, writing a memoir about my father helped me understand who I had become. For the first half of my career, I was a journalist with major media (thanks, Duke Chronicle, for firing up that spirit) and spent 25 years as a staffer or correspondent for the Washington Post, USA Today, and Knight Ridder Newspapers and as a contributor to magazines like Humanities and Smithsonian. But higher education called me back and I led strategic communications offices and major initiatives for two universities (Georgetown and Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles) and since 2005, higher ed consulting. I am Senior Partner for the the Napa Group and have no plans to retire! After my father’s death, I discovered more of his paintings and writings and, in parallel, my own history through his view of our hometown in Ohio. I applied my “investigative reporter” instincts to better understand my father’s “vision” as an incisive snapshot of the 1950s and my youth. As his first born who was by his side as he painted, his “eye” informed my own talents as a visual thinker and interpreter of others’ lives. In 2019, I return to the Carolinas and a new home in Charlotte. I am delighted to reconnect with my roots – and be closer to my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter Eliza, who is once again changing my life. I am still exploring. • The Artist's Eye: Vernon P.

Fiction and Poetry Charlie Smith Poet and novelist Charlie Smith was born in Moultrie, Georgia. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy and, after serving in the Peace Corps in Micronesia, earned a BA from Duke University and later an MFA from Iowa. Charlie considers himself a member of the Class of 1969 – student government, Archive editor, and soccer. He has written seven novels and seven books of poetry, plus a book of three novellas. He has won the Aga Khan Prize, the Levinson prize, the J. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. His writing has appeared in magazines and journals such as The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Harper's, The New Republic, the New York Times, and The Nation. He lives in New York City. From the Poetry Foundation: “His poetry—candid, lush, lyrical—is informed by the Southern landscape and voices of his youth, and his style is reminiscent of John Ashbery and Charles Wright. Praising Heroin (2000), poet and critic David Kirby writes that, with their unflinching attention to the cloud of addiction and recovery, and their use of heroin as a metaphor for desire, Smith’s poems ‘remind us that we don’t really know what beauty is until we’ve looked hard at the horror that throws beauty into bright relief.’” • Ginny Gall, HarperCollins, 2016. • Jump Soul: New and Selected Poems, W.

Charles Dowling Williams Two weeks into my freshman year, Ella Fountain Pratt invited me to lunch in the Oak Room. She had also invited Reynolds Price. I don’t remember the meal on that bright Friday afternoon, but I do recall the light in the room and five words: “Write about what you know.” Now over 50 years later, I must conclude that I’ve never “known” much. Only two things well enough to write about them – my family and the farm in the hills of Kentucky. I have stocked the pantry of my family’s history with books of recipes, diaries, and love letters. They call me the family historian, a post for which I was well-trained. My faculty advisor was Harold T. Parker, the incomparable teacher of history. “The farm” is where I have lived and worked and played for most of my adult life. It is part of a much larger tract that was purchased in 1796 by an ancient English grandfather through Virginia Treasury Warrants signed by Patrick Henry. The three books I’m sending are poetry and haiku that materialized from simply living on this beautiful, ancestral farm that is 85 percent woodlands. I have received many local, state and national awards for conservation and stewardship of forests. My greatest regret is that I did not

15 seek permission to take courses in dendrology at the School of Forestry. Had I told Dr. Parker of my interest, he would have smiled – with an academician’s delight – and picked up the phone.

John Vick Mickey After serving as Marine Corps brat for a long eighteen years, I became a Duke mechanical engineer. Somehow, I then chose Procter and Gamble over Stanford Business School. Packing toothpaste just down the road from Kent State was too much like work (and for “The Man,” to boot), so I returned to Duke for a masters in biomedical engineering and my MD. My mentor, Dr. Robert Lefkowitz (Nobel Prize, 2012), eased my way into Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital for internal medicine training. That was about as much of the Arctic Circle as I could stand, so I escaped to Honolulu, where I have happily practiced medicine ever since, and will continue to do so until something gives way. My writing efforts follow a sort of hydraulic Trojan Horse model; for me, it was: “write or bust.” I knew that only the choir reads temperately argued policy analyses, so I chose the save-the- world genre; all the better to propagandize innocent seekers of pool-side distraction. Poisoned Medicine chronicles the collapse of the American health care system. Ultimatum Day, how antiwar activists use bioterror to thwart preemptive nuclear war with North Korea and Iran. And Buck and Petal follows our heroes as they reverse global warming in a mere ninety days. Devoted fans anticipate another five-hundred-page dump in response to the current absurdist political tragicomedy. They will have to wait, I’m afraid, until reality is no longer beyond parody. • Buck and Petal Chill the Anthropocene, Pinaoula Press, 2009. • Ultimatum Day, iUniverse, 2006. • Poisoned Medicine, University of Hawaii Press, 2003.

Robert Herrin After graduation, I attended the University of North Carolina (DDS and MD) and the University of Michigan for a residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery. During the next 39 years, I practiced in Charlotte and raised five daughters. Everyone assumed I would become a doctor. When it actually happened, it exceeded my wildest dreams. I would not trade my career for any amount of fame or fortune; however, the time has come to turn things over to my talented partners. As a hobby, I wrote screenplays, short stories, and novels, and I was even invited to pitch scripts at Paramount Studios for Star Trek Deep Space Nine, but compared to practicing medicine, writing was a distant third interest (my family forgives me for putting them second to patients). Eventually however, I self-published these four novels, which are available at Amazon Books. Each sale contributes two bucks toward my retirement. Meeting your characters in a story is terrific fun. How will they respond to impossible dilemmas? Years ago, I locked myself in a room for a month and cranked out my first novel (plus a year to rewrite). When I emerged back into the real world, I was shocked to discover leafless trees. Fall had passed unnoticed. So now I plan to dedicate myself to writing fiction. My daughters have become fine adults, and my wife will happily lock me in a room with a keyboard. And who’s that tapping at my door? A raven? Where did those grandchildren come from?

Sally Whitney Although I’ve spent most of my adult life in other parts of the United States, my imagination lives in the South, home of my childhood. Whenever I dream of a story, I feel the magic of southern mysteries, legends, and jokes handed down through generations of storytellers, people like me. In Surface and Shadow, the novel presented here, I wanted to capture the culture of small southern mill towns, a culture that no longer exists because so much manufacturing is now done outside of the United States. These towns fostered a family-like closeness and loyalty, since so many people worked for the same employer, but like any family, they fostered strife as well. I also wanted to capture the confused feelings some women had about the Women’s Movement in the early 1970s. There were, of course, the ardent supporters of equal rights and the resisters who felt threatened by change. But there were others who weren’t sure of the need for change even though they knew something wasn’t right in their lives.

Surface and Shadow, published by Pen-L Publishing, is my first novel. My second novel, When Enemies Offend Thee, forthcoming from Pen-L later this year, takes place in the same small town nearly 40 years later. While working as a journalist and public relations writer and after I retired, I published short stories in literary magazines and anthologies, including Best Short Stories from the Saturday Evening Post Great American Fiction Contest 2017. I currently live in Pennsylvania. My website is Sallywhitney.com. • Surface and Shadow, Pen-L Publishing, 2016.

Science David Schneider At Duke I took two graduate courses in oceanography, one with Orrin Pilkey (Geology) and one with Roger Doyle (Biology). I decided on becoming an oceanographer. I did, settling in St. John's, Canada. A great place for oceanography (and icebergs). During a sabbatical in 1992 I wrote a book on “scaling,” at a time when the idea of scaling was making its way from oceanography to become part of ecology. The idea is that what you measure at one scale won't necessarily translate in a 1-to-1 fashion to another scale. An example is the number of species, where doubling the search area won't double the number of species. Another example is food consumption – eating like a tiny bird means consuming almost your body weight in food per day! Over the last 30 years I have been teaching statistics to honors and graduate students in the sciences. I coach them to formulate the statistical model instead of memorizing statistical tests. I've been honored with teaching awards. For part of the year I live in Santa Cruz, about three hours from Mariposa, where my son Reed is with NatureBridge in Yosemite. His son Finn has re-introduced me to splashing stones in the water and other things that three-year-olds like to do. Which I get to do again in three years with his new baby brother Oren. • Quantitative Ecology, Elsevier Inc., 2009.

Steve Lindberg I applied early to Duke to study oceanography, and I was surprised not only to be accepted but also to learn there was no undergraduate program in oceanography. Two Duke professors were important mentors. Terry Johnson (Botany) helped create the first- ever (ad hoc) undergraduate science interdisciplinary program at Duke, which allowed me to take grad courses and courses at the Marine Lab. Orrin Pilkey (Geology) introduced me to my future major prof. at FSU, where I earned an MS in oceanography and a PhD in geochemistry, working the next 35 years there and at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Pilkey once excused me

18 from his evening class in marine geochemistry so I could attend a Duke basketball game as a cheerleader, a fun senior year distraction. Although freshman English was a ghastly chore for me, I must have learned something. I have since published six books and 235 papers in the open literature, including four in Science (a cover article) and Nature. I am a Fellow of the AAAS and received prizes and awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt Award, the Haagen-Smit Prize and the Kathryn R. Mahaffey Lifetime Achievement Award in Mercury Research. My book, Atmospheric Deposition and Forest Nutrient Cycling, was a seven-year collaboration with over 20 scientists working at 13 research forests in North America and Europe. I retired in 2005 to live in the High Sierras, but Barbara and I spend our winters on small islands in French Polynesia. • Atmospheric Deposition and Forest Nutrient Cycling (w/ D. Johnson), Springer Verlag Publ., 1992. Plus seven other titles listed in the bibliography.

Health and Education Mort Orman After graduating from Duke, I received my MD degree from the University of Maryland Medical School, then completed my medical residency and practiced internal medicine in Baltimore from 1977 to 2000. I also served as a Health & Wellness medical director for a large Blue Cross plan in Central Pennsylvania from 2000-2015. I am now retired, still writing, and living in Baltimore with my wife Christina Chambreau, a holistic veterinarian. We have one daughter, living in Florida.

Duke taught me how to think and question. Shortly after beginning my medical career, I began to seriously question almost everything that experts were teaching about stress and happiness. In particular, I began to question the wisdom of teaching people to manage their stress, as if this is the best possible way to deal with it (it’s not).

I quickly discovered that most of this standard stress management teaching is wrong. Since then, I’ve spent much of the past 40 years correcting these false ideas and teaching people how to eliminate stress – not manage it – which has been immensely rewarding. To this day, and for the rest of my life, I will be eternally grateful to Duke for helping me realize that no matter how much I think I know, there is plenty more to learn, and even more to unlearn and explore even more deeply.

The 14 Day Stress Cure is my largest selling book, but there are more than ten that I have written.

Henry Perry I wanted to be a medical missionary and had the good fortune of entering an MD-PhD Program at the Johns Hopkins University, where I combined graduate studies in sociology and anthropology with my medical education. Then, to prepare for overseas, I trained in general surgery. During this time, I published my first book, Physician Assistants (1979). I have had had enriching experiences working with wonderful but severely impoverished people around the world: three years in Bolivia as a Methodist medical missionary and Duke faculty member; four years in Bangladesh as a Hopkins staff member; and four years in Haiti as head of the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer. For the past ten years I have been a faculty member at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Bangladesh had become well-known for its innovative community-oriented health programs. Health for All in Bangladesh (2000) pulled all this information together and made it available for people everywhere. Engaging Communities for Improving Mothers’ and Children’s Health (2017) is based on a ten- year project I led and covers the effectiveness of community-based interventions that take place outside of health facilities in low-income countries. It has turned out to be a landmark study with important implications for health programs throughout the world. • Engaging Communities for Improving Mothers’ and Children’s Health: Reviewing the Evidence of Effectiveness in Resource-Constrained Settings, United Kingdom by JoGH, 2017. • Health for All in Bagladesh, The University Press Limited, 2005. • Physician Assistants: Their Contribution to Health Care (w/ B.

Leonard Zwelling I had been removed as the Vice President for Research Administration at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston after twelve years of administrative work and 23 years on the faculty. A new Provost had come, and he wanted his own team in place.

What was I to do? I couldn’t go back to seeing patients. It had been 17 years. My lab had long since closed. What now? A friend suggested I apply for a fellowship in Washington, DC to learn about the political aspects of health care in the United States. I was selected to be a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow for 2008-2009. I would spend three months in orientation around DC and then be on the staff of the U. S. Senate Committee for Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), working for the ranking member of the committee, Senator Michael B. Enzi (R-WY). I had gained a front row seat for the debate over ObamaCare. I took notes all day and wrote at night. This book, Congressional Malpractice, is the result. It’s the view of a lifelong academic physician of the sausage-making process of federal legislation on the subject I care most about, health care. It was quite a journey. I hope you agree. • Congressional Malpractice: Is Affordable Healthcare a Right or a Privilege? (w/ M. Ehrlich), John M. Hardy Publishing, 2018.

Margarete Lieb Zalon I owe much of my career’s foundation to my Duke education and its emphasis on critical thinking. My commitment and passion for advocacy and social justice was sparked by two summers in Nicaragua, as part of a Duke project providing basic health care in a community with no running water or electricity. As a senior, I spent Monday nights at the Edgemont clinic, observing the vulnerabilities of people in our own community. As a nurse and professor, I assumed progressively responsible leadership positions, including president of the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association, the American Nurses Foundation, and currently, the Nursing Foundation of Pennsylvania. I led a grassroots effort to defeat a proposal that would have set back nursing education in Pennsylvania, and also led the state association in its efforts to gain prescriptive privileges for nurse practitioners. My colleagues and I wanted our book, Nurses Making Policy from Bedside to Boardroom, to illustrate the policy process and convey that nurses’ competencies can be readily applied to policymaking. I have taught nursing at the University of Scranton for the last 31 years and also direct their health informatics program. • Nurses Making Policy: From Bedside to Boardroom, 2nd ed. (w/ R. Patton, R. Ludwick), Springer Publisher Company, 2019.

Abigail Norfleet James I entered the Duke School of Nursing with every intention of graduating in 1969 with a BSN. Actually, I graduated in 1970 from the Women’s College with a BA in science education. I taught science and math for years in private schools in Virginia. I was teaching at a boys’ school and realized that education was not meeting their needs, so I went back to graduate school, getting a PhD in educational psychology from UVA in 2001 – OK, that makes March

21 complicated, but at least I stuck with an ACC school. My post-doc in neuroscience was possible because of what I had learned years ago in nursing school. The information from my graduate studies formed the basis for my first book – Teaching the Male Brain – which won best educational book of 2003 from ForeWord Magazine. While I was writing the first book, a friend who taught math pointed out that his problem was not boys, but girls, so I wrote Teaching the Female Brain. These books are the basis for my work as an educational consultant working with teachers and parents at boys’ and girls’ schools around the world. The parents of the boys asked for a book for them, so I wrote the Parents’ Guide to Boys. No Great American Novel here, but good information predicated on solid science grounded in what I learned at Duke. • Teaching the Male Brain: How Boys Think, Feel, and Learn in School, Corwin, 2015. • The Parents' Guide to Boys: Help Your Son Get the Most Out of School and Life, Live Oak Book Company, 2013. • Teaching the Female Brain: How Girls Learn Math and Science, Corwin, 2009.

Edyth James Wheeler For some of us, life does not proceed in a predictable linear fashion, but in a zig-zag pattern, with each life experience continuing to build us into who we are and will become. Being at Duke, majoring in French (and Messiah in the Chapel Choir), during those socially awakening and tumultuous years, has been part of my journey into working with young children and their families, and with graduate students in Early Childhood Education, as professor and graduate program director. My PhD study at George Mason University focused on young children’s conflict resolution, inspired by my work in peace education and my passionate belief in children’s natural capacity for caring and empathy. My textbook emerged from that research, from working with practitioners, and from hearing many stories from children, teachers and families. Across the years in my zig-zag journey, I am privileged to have experiences that continually expand my world view, learning from the people and places in my life. My current retired status allows me to continue local and national advocacy work, collaborative research projects, writing, teacher education accreditation, and online graduate teaching. I hope to engage others in working with families experiencing adversity, confronting issues of poverty, social justice and equity, and supporting resilience in children, families, and communities. My husband John and I live outside of Waymart, Pennsylvania. I am slowly getting acquainted with my mother’s family. Just four years ago, I located my two first cousins who live in the Ukraine. • Conflict Resolution in Early Childhood: Helping Children Understand, Manage, and Resolve Conflicts, Pearson, 2003.
