The premiere of "Chantilly Lace: The True Story of J.P. Richardson" was held Monday, Feb. 23 at The Center at Purdue University Calumet. It was a wonderful event with movie-theaterstyle popcorn, snacks, and sodas attended by Chancellor Cohen, Dean Dan Dunn, Communication Department Head Dr. Kamalipour, and Undergraduate ~ i s e a r c h Director Dr. Libbie Pelter who all spoke briefly before the documentary was unveiled. The documentary was produced by students enrolled in the RadiaTV program in Purdue Calumet's Deoartment of Communication and Creative Arts. It is based on the life of J.P. Richardson, who died in a plane crash with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens in 1959. According to Joshua Holmes, co-producer of the documentary, Richardson conmbuted much to music history although little is known about him. Also called "The Big Bopper," Richardson's most famous song is "Chantilly Lace." The Purdue Calumet students, some of whom are now graduates, spent more than two years working on the tape. They received finan-
cia1 assistance for the project from a Purdue University Calumet Undergraduate Research Grant. At the premiere the students, along with Purdue Calumet Associate Professor of Communication Mary Beth O'Connor were presented the Katherine J. Belcher Outstanding StudentFaculty Research Award by Katie's grandparents on behalf of the Wermuth family. "I am so proud of the students' accomplishments,"
ofessor Mary Beth O'Cor Peter Aranda. Pete Sedrak, Eric Sera, Josh Holmes and Jason Jeka said Professor O'Connor, who supervised production of the documentary. "They have worked very hard and m y long hours to produce a fine product that represents our radioltelevision program well." The students presented a rough cut of the documentary to more than 200 of Richardson's family and friends in Texas on Richardson's birthday, last October. The students were granted an exclusive interview with Richardson's widow, Adrianne "Teetsie"
J. P. Richardson "The Big Bopper"
Richardson Wenner, which is included in the documentary. After receiving audience feedback, the students completed the final cut. The documentary is dedicated to Richardson Wenner, who died the week the project was completed.

r S u n d a y , March 21,2004. family and friends of Professor Emerita YJean Staples Chambers helped Hennan Chambers (husband) and Lane1 Chambers (son) celebrate what would have been Herman and YJean' fiftieth wedding anniversary. Chambers died on Nov. 12, just shy of her 81st birthday fiom complications due to diabetes. Several groups of speakers were scheduled to speak. And although not one single speaker could keep the "two minute" time limit, no one seemed to notice or mind. Governor Joseph Keman spoke about the Tribute Representative Visclosky gave to Congress and the audience was provided copies of the Congressional Record. County Commissioner Rudy Clay presented Herman a plaque, acknowledging YJean as 'Teacher Emeritus for Lake County." Mrs. Shirley Thomas, an AKA sister of YJean's, shared what the "dash" in YJean's life meant to her and said, "Rosa Parks ... and Jessie Owens.. . followed YJean's instructions." Dr. ErmaYackel identified her as the Mahiarch of Gary and shared some university sentiments, "IÂŁ you want something done, ask YJean." Dean Dunn shared some wonderful stories and added, "She would raise the bar and bring the best out of her students. I know of no finer teacher that I've met in my entire life." Among the many stories shared, poems read, and songs sung at the celebration, Corya Channing, along with several PUC students (past and present) performed one of YJean's plays for voice and diction. At its conclusion Purdue Cal & You host Steven Haas said, "You'll never forget how people make you feel ...Thank you YJean!" Our sentiments exactly.

hearts. I love you. Her shoes!! That's what first grabbed my attention. I kept seeing this marvelously dressed woman of a certain aze, wearing the most wonderful shoes bright, metallic leather with a jaunty cockade on the toe! My goodness, I though^ she's interesting!!I decided to take HER course: COM 213, Voice and Diction. I found out on Day One of the class that I was in for a treat! She would arrive, arms full of papers, her hat at a rakish angle, a big bag with lots of heads swinging at her side. And then she opened hermouth and our came the glorious voice; smooth, soothing and mellifluous! Yes, Dr. YJean Chambers was an astonishing woman. A true presence. An awe inspiring teacher and a woman of inimitable style. I'll never forget her. I think of her evew, day. . I always will. And maybe someday I'll have the nerve to wear those shoes!
YJean met me ana lvucnwe verauzco, former director of Student Leadership Developmeng at the House of Pizza for lunch. Michelle and I had asked
YJean to be a guest speaker for a student workshop on leadership and communication skills. We were working out the h a l details of the workshop during our lunch. We explained the purpose of the workshop, where it would take place, and gave her an approximate number for attendance. Then we asked her if she would need anything. She said yes and began to List the items she would need while Michelle and I nodded. YJean stopped immediately and asked "Are one of you going to write this list on paper?" In that instant, YJean had passed along a brief lesson on leadership and communication.that changed how I prepare for a lunch h ~ ~ s i n e rmrerino r Thanks YJean.

My hrst memory of YJean was the day that I started my job here at PUC. She came right up to me and hugged me. She said such kind words of welcome that I knew I had found a special place to spend my career. I also fondly remember producing a documentary about her with my students and Dr. C a d i . She was truly a fascinating woman with a rich and interesting past, which she openlr shared with everyone she encountered. My life was changed in such posidve and meaningful wavs as a result of mv knowine YJean! I will miss her!! Having been in YJean's Voice anc Diction class, I s d l remember certaic words that are supposed to be said $ certain way (status, robot, coupon) But what's most memorable is simp11 YJean herself - the way she taught memory be eternal.

We also learned ways to sound out words making them come alive- somewhat theatricallysuch as the word, "freezing" and "harshl~" YJean was an inspiration to me and to eveqone she met and taught- she will be missed.

When I joined the Department of Communicadon and Creative Arts nearly 18 years ago, Professor YJean Chambers was energetically and entbusiasdcally engaged with life and what she loved the most, helping her students to learn and succeed. She was a dedicated teacher, a supportive colleague, a cheerful person, a reliable friend, a beautiful soul, and more. YJean was unique, eloquent, sincere, caring, and always posidvc I am fortunate to have had the opportuniy to know her, to work with her, to attend conferences with her, to laugh with her, and to learn from her.

YJean was v a y inspirational to me when I was just a young buck here at PUC. I'U never forget her cheerful, upbeat demeanor and her wise words. She once told me, as only she could do, "Mr. Riddering, you will be successful in anything you set out to do and I'm confident that you will make an impact on others? Now, I've forgotten a lot of what my professors said to me hack then. But, these words have stuck with me for more than 20 years now. wean was able to boost my confidence in myself to believe that I could make an impact in this world. For that, I will always be grate ful to her ' ''
