ANTIOCH.EDU Craig Stockwell ‘90 (New England, Master of Education) began his studies at Dartmouth College and Rhode Island School of Design, where he studied with glass artist Dale Chihuly. He went on to do work in glass in Minneapolis, Boulder, and Boston. His work moved on to conceptually based sculptural installations and was shown in New York, notably at PS 1 (MOMA). In 1998, he made an intentional decision to confine his work to the restrictions of painting as a method of creating a sustainable daily practice. He has shown his drawings and paintings extensively in New England and nationally. His work is in many permanent private and public collections including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He earned an MFA degree from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is the Director of the Visual Arts Program at the low-residency MFA at NH Institute for Arts.

vegetarian pioneer and champion of drug-free herbal sports nutrition, Thomas A became interested in healthy living at an early age. At 12, he developed Osgood- Schlatter disease, a very painful knee condition categorized by bony, lumpy growths at the top of the shinbone. Thomas’s condition was particularly severe and required surgery. It was then that he began doing his own research regarding health, nutrition, and fitness. He also learned about martial arts philosophy, plant-based nutrition, and herbology. He began practicing and promoting a plant-based diet when he was 18 years old.

Thomas has written three books promoting healthy eating and energy via plant-based nutrition and fitness routines centered around rope jumping. “My primary goal is to increase the health span within the life span of an individual,” Thomas says. “I’m not promoting anything that the average person can't do.”

He published his first book The Philosophy of Divine Nutrition in 1977. It is based on his philosophy that every religious text has instructions on health, longevity, and nutrition. His second book came out in 1986. The Way of PDN: The Ultimate Vegetarian Athletic Nutrition Program emphasized motivation, fitness, and herbal sports nutrition. His most recent book New Jump Swing: Healthy Aging and Athletic Nutrition is a revised version of two of Thomas’s In the very competitive world of anti-aging, world record speeches. health, and fitness books, I looked for a “In the very competitive world of anti-aging, health, and way to help me stand out among the crowd. fitness books, I looked for a way to help me stand out among the crowd,” Thomas says. “Since I’m making the claim that my diet and fitness program gives a person more energy, I decided to demonstrate my own increased personal energy, so I used my books on health and fitness as my speeches for the Guinness records.”

He presented his book The Philosophy of Divine Nutrition for 93 consecutive hours in 1978, winning his first Guinness Book World Record in the Sermon category. In 1985 at his first Alma Mater City College of New York, he presented the draft of his book The Way of PDN for 19 hours and 20 minutes. The title of his speech was “The History of Herbs in Maintaining Physical Fitness.” After his record was beaten in 1988 by a 24 hour after dinner speech, Thomas recaptured the record and is pictured with his book The Way of PDN in the 1989 Guinness Book. He spoke for 32 hours and 25 minutes. The title of his speech was “Vegetarian Athletic Nutrition.”

After each Guinness record, Thomas had enough energy left to give a New Jump Swing jump rope demonstration.

After she visited the School By Kristin Maffei of Advertising Art (SAA) in Kettering, OH, she knew she found that place. Although it had a great reputation, it was a small, modest institution housed in an old elementary school alongside a Montessori preschool, ballet studio, and a driving school.

After her graduation from SAA, Barry worked for numerous clients, including Anheuser Busch, Dell, Huffy Bikes, and Iams developing strategic marketing and advertising campaigns.

“I witnessed the impact design makes on the world each day—from smart phones and apps to websites and videos, and I recognized that jobs in the design industry will continue to increase year after year as new products and technologies are invented," Barry says.

STONEWALL In the early morning hours of June BY NICOLE COLSON 28, 1969, New York City police raided his favorite neighborhood bar, hauling employees and patrons out of the gay RIOTS nightclub. The raid sparked a riot among patrons and residents, which led to six days of protests and violent clashes with law enforcement outside the Christopher Street bar, in nearby streets and Christopher Park. The Stonewall Riots served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.

“Looking back we were feeling angry and militant. We wanted something to break open,” Galassi says.

The 81-year-old Galassi now sees the riots and subsequent protests as part of a civil rights continuum, beginning in 1963 with the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

In 1957, James Baldwin, novelist, playwright, and gay activist, returned from Paris where he had moved to escape persecution to the U.S. He returned that year while civil rights legislation was being debated in Congress and he had been moved by the image of a young girl, Dorothy Counts, braving a mob in an attempt to desegregate schools in Charlotte, N.C.

An unidentified group of young people celebrate outside the boarded-up Stonewall Inn (53 Christopher Street) after riots over the weekend of June 27, 1969. The bar and surrounding area were the site of a series of demonstrations and riots that led to the formation of the modern gay rights movement in the United States.

FALL 2019 23 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR

BY NICOLE COLSON

24 ANTIOCH ALUMNI MAGAZINE hen Leatrice “Lee” Eiseman ’71 (Antioch College, BA in Psychology) was a little girl, she knew she had a natural talent for putting colors together to create something pleasing to the eye. Encouraged by her mother and aunt, she further developed her abilities and today people around the world seek her expertise on the subject of color.

An internationally recognized color specialist, she is Director of the Eiseman Center for Color Information & Training and Executive Director of the Pantone® Color Institute. She has been quoted in and recognized by such publications as Fortune Magazine and the Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential people in the world of color, and she has written 10 books on the subject.

When Eiseman is not helping companies choose colors in brand imaging, design, fashion, and cosmetics, she is a sought-after speaker for trade shows, schools, in-house business presentations, and webinars. She offers training courses and classes on color trends, the psychology of color, and its usage. Eiseman is also instrumental in choosing the Pantone Color of the Year.

While Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, Eiseman said it’s the psychology of color that influences those decisions.

When she started as color consultant, she realized most people had little knowledge about color. “I’ve worked hard in this field to educate people about the importance of color,” she says.

Eiseman was instrumental in choosing the Pantone Color of the Year, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The color chosen for 2019 is Living Coral.

“It conjures images of coral reefs, where fish go for nutrients. Reefs are disappearing and we are in danger of losing them. It’s important and we feel strongly about it,” Eiseman says. This year’s Pantone color is also a response to the desire for authentic experiences in the onslaught of digital technology and social media. “We are living in an era of consternation in the world around us. We need reassurance and warmth and this warm shade suggests comfort and positivity.”

It takes a community to raise a mural. Rowland Russell ’88, ’08 (Seattle, MA in Whole Systems Design; New England, PhD in Environmental Studies) and Georgia Cassimatis ’15 (New England, MS in Environmental Studies) co-facilitated an elaborate process with community muralist Sophy Tuttle, an illustrator for Whole Terrain, an environmental literary journal published through New England's Environmental Studies Department. They brainstormed possible themes with the wider community and collected feedback through several different iterations of draft designs. Tuttle, with assistance from MS in Environmental Studies student Kellianne Hamburg, transferred the final design to large panels, then hosted a series of “painting parties” where the extended community picked up a brush and helped finish the mural. The final product, installed on the South Wall of the New England campus, reflects the values-in- action Antioch shares with the larger community in contributing what the world needs from all of us now.
