Tim Williams ’78 continues to bring FWCD’s Colonel Rocky Rosacker H’00 and his story to a broader audience through his documentary titled The Colonel’s Playbook. The movie is currently streaming on EpochTV, the Epoch Times’ streaming platform, which features exclusive programming, investigative news analysis, in-depth interviews, and award-winning documentaries.
John Brookman ’80 was inducted into the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals (NADN), America’s foremost professional organization for experienced mediators and arbitrators practicing in the field of civil and commercial conflict resolution. All academy members are distinguished by their commitment to excellence in the field of dispute resolution and enjoy sterling reputations within the profession. Membership is by invitation only, based on peer nominations and due diligence research in each state. NADN collaborates with the National Defense Bar (DRI) and National Plaintiff Trial Bar (AAJ) Associations in identifying the nation’s elite arbitrators and mediators. Frasher Hudson Pergande ’81 and her husband, John, will take on a daunting and important challenge this
fall. From October 1-15, John will join a small group of cyclists to ride 1,800 miles from Lake Itasca, MN, to Venice, LA. Frasher and other volunteers will follow the riders by car and teach Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) classes at local universities and schools along the route. QPR is an evidencebased suicide prevention gatekeeper training program. The ride, called Light the Trail, is an initiative of the Fort Worth-based Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation. The purpose of the ride is to start impactful conversations about suicide and mental health and to bring more widespread attention to the issues of suicide and depression, which impact nearly everyone in some way. Each day of the Light the Trail ride, the riders will “Ride For” (#Ride4) people who have lost their lives to suicide. The public is encouraged to visit the Light the Trail website and write about their loved ones. Riders will begin each day reading aloud the submitted stories and dedicating their ride to those loved ones. If you have a loved one you would like the Pergandes to #Ride4 please visit lightthetrailride.org. Dan Meeker ’82 is coordinating with Trinity Valley School’s Class of 1982 for a reunion dinner at Joe T. Garcia’s possibly Thursday, October 13, 2022, or Saturday, October 15, 2022. Reach out to Dan to let him know you are interested.
