Correspondence
Thanks for another outstanding Bulletin presentation. Informative, inspiring and artistic. It makes me proud to be an alum. Jim Greiner ’51, Elkhart, Ind. Thank you very much for sending me the Goshen Bulletin. I will forever cherish to receive this magazine. I was so happy to see the picture of my former professor in political science, Professor Lee Roy Berry. More was his recommendation which enabled me to get admission and scholarship for my graduate studies at Illinois State University. Please pass my greetings to him and family. Learning political science at Goshen College within the environment of love and peace, politics is far from being “a dirty game” for me even as I lead the church. Bishop E.K. Nhiwatiwa, Resident Bishop Zimbabwe Episcopal Area (United Methodist Church) Thank you for the excellent Spring/Summer 2009 Bulletin. I always look to the Alumni News and thanks for organizing them by the years in school. I am 85 and enjoy remembering the past and really use the 2005 Alumni Directory. Pass this message on to those who authorize such books. Winifred Erb Paul ’46 Scottdale, Pa. It is another beautiful issue and now that I think I have found Menno I can continue to read the articles! Barbara Detweiler Gleysteen ’54 Goshen, Ind. I just received my Bulletin in the mail. I immediately sat down to read it and find Menno. I have two first years at Goshen College having a great time – Nathan and Hannah Geiser. Marie Harnish ’84 Indianapolis, Ind.
Thanks for another great issue.

Your production gets better and better. Irene McCoy Farrand ’53 Indianapolis, Ind. Why, that little bugger is either hungry or some kind of Anabaptist Pez-like food dispenser, since he’s hanging out with the bags of food to be distributed through Feed the Children on the inside back cover (p. 53). For some reason, I like the idea of flipping up Menno’s head and seeing a jar of donated peanut butter slide out of his neck. But perhaps that’s just me… Ryan Miller ’95/faculty 2000-02 Goshen, Ind. Just got my Bulletin today, and really enjoy reading about how Goshen is keeping its’ student body challenged and enriched. Keep up the great job! Mary Wenger, parent of Aedra Wenger Andrade ’95 Vancouver, Wash. I just received my copy of the Bulletin and read it cover to cover. I usually tell myself I will just sit down and glance through it, but always end up reading nearly every article, especially if they have anything to do with international study. Carol Smucker ’79 Spokane, Wash. Thanks for some brightness on this dreary day with the first substantial snowfall of the season. Mary Beyler ’72 Obihiro, Hokkaido, Japan

ABOUT THE COVER Photography by Jodi H. Beyeler, illustration by Rachel Campagnoli
because we are christ-centered, through servant leadership, as global citizens, in our passion for learning, we strive to make peace in all its forms.
As you will see in this issue of the Bulletin, a whole new kind of peace movement is underway at Goshen College. And President Brenneman is leading the way (see p. 1) as we strive to make peace in all its forms: with ourselves, with each other, with the world, with God. The boldness of this message can also be seen in several recent commercials we created and a group of letters that current students wrote about how they are making peace. Check them out at www.goshen.edu/go, and while you are there, request your free peace patch.
