Rogosheskes complete Appalachian Trail
Phil ’66 and Val Rogosheske, St. Cloud, MN, are pictured on top of Mt. Katahdin in northern Maine, the official end of the 2,300 mile Appalachian Trail, which passes through 14 states. To complete their hike of the entire trail, they have hiked about 500 miles per year for four years. (They would have finished a year earlier, but Hurricane Irene knocked them off the trail while they were in Vermont, so they completed the final 100-mile wilderness of Maine this past fall.) The Rogosheskes carried a Gustie sign to the top of that final milehigh mountain.

Bully book
Psychotherapist and author Cynthia Blomquist Gustavson ’69, along with her husband, Dr. Edward E. Gustavson, and her son, Kent Gustavson, Ph.D., have written a book on bullying that can be used for both the bully and the bullied. The book, Bully! The Big Book about Bullies and the Bullied, includes whimsical drawings throughout and writing prompts on nearly every page. It is an easy-to-use book that is appropriate for every classroom from elementary through high school, and for discussion groups everywhere. The book is great for parents, teachers, mentors, and, most importantly, for children and teenagers. Bully! is a book that helps victimized and bullied children and teens as well as their tormentors.
