Occupational Status: Retired Former Employer: Northern Baptist Theological Seminary; Shalom Education; Educational/National Ministries; American Baptist Churches (etc.) Former Title: Associate Professor; Coordinator; Editor, Managing Editor AU Degree Information: Bachelor’s in Government & Public Administration, 1957 AU Organizations: Debate Club, Baptist Student Union, Methodist student group, Women’s Hockey Team (1 year); Political club Degrees Earned from Other Universities: MA and PhD, University of Illinois; MACE and MDiv from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary. Personal Activities and Accomplishments: I received an MA and PhD in political science from the University of Illinois. Later I received a Masters in Christian Education and an MDiv from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary (where I was given awards for outstanding academic achievement and the outstanding essay in Biblical studies). I taught at the seminary for 11 years. After that, I co-facilitated interracial Healing Racism workshops, and served as Coordinator for Shalom Education, an ecumenical organization providing workshops and resources on justice issues. For five years, I edited a children’s ministry publication for American Baptist Churches/ USA. I’ve participated in several mission trips to Costa Rica and Mexico.

In recent years my key focus has been on writing poetry. I’ve published poetry in numerous anthologies as well as print and online journals, and have won numerous awards for poetry (both formal and free verse). Other awards include: Judson Press Ministry Award, 2008; citizen Initiative Award from Citizen Advocacy Center, Elmhurst IL, 2001; Luther Wesley Smith Award for Distinguished Service in Christian Higher Education, 1993; Faculty of the Year, selected by the student body of Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1985. Marital Status: Married Children: Sherri Penrod, Colleen Prince, Lisa Morris, Lori Fernandez, Jeffrey Morris Most Memorable AU Experience: In October 1960, Jack Kennedy spoke on the AU campus. I had the privilege of hearing him. I also went to the WRC television studio with some other students. We could have touched Kennedy’s and Nixon’s limos as they drove into the driveway for the second Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate. I was also able to attend Kennedy’s inauguration and inaugural parade. Another memorable moment was being selected “Outstanding Senior Presidential Woman” by the Pan-Hellenic Council. Favorite Professor/Class: This is a difficult question, I had a number of favorite professors, including Edward W. Bauman, Charles Hirsch, William Bigg, and some others whose names escape me at the moment. One was the debate coach. Another was a dean (Dr. John?) and also taught in the religion department. Favorite classes include Old Testament (which was televised), New Testament, and a plethora of courses in American Government. I enjoyed taking the courses offered downtown in the evening, because so many of the students were government employees who brought a richness of life experience to the courses. How AU Influenced Your Life: I learned a lot about how to learn while I was at American U. Participation in the debate team gave me a broadened worldview and increased my desire to travel. (the debate team traveled to New York City, Philadelphia, etc.) and helped me learn to analyze issues. My interest in the study of government was strong when I came to DC and even stronger by the time I graduated-that led me toward a graduate program in political science. The courses in Biblical studies with Dr. Bauman opened my mind to new understandings of the bible and were doubtless important in my eventual decision to attend seminary. Working in the office of the School of Government and Public Administration helped prepare me for some elements of the teaching profession. The diversity of the campus population also increased my awareness of cultural issues and the importance of viewing everyone as of equal importance.

water!) Jim and I opened a fine jewelry store which we and two of our boys run. We have seven grandchildren. We boat and water ski every weekend. Life is good! I am very proud to be a graduate of AU and have many, many fond memories. I remember our Dean of Women went off to be in “Pajama Game!” Our next Dean of Women went off and married Bill Lewicky! Happy Days!

Protective Services (Though retired I continue to renew my license). Former Employer: Trumbull County Children Services Board (Warren, OH) from 1981–2006 (25 years) AU Degree Information: BA, College of Arts and Sciences; MA/CAS1959 AU Organizations: Kappa Delta Sorority, Cheerleader, Secretary to the Student Association, President of the Lutheran Student Association, Music Club, German Club, Orientation Board, Accompanist for the Chorus, Future Teacher’s of America, Inter-fraternity Council Prom Queen, Outstanding Senior Sorority Woman, Who’s Who in American Universities and Colleges Personal Activities & Accomplishments: During my four years of graduate school at AU, I taught piano to preschoolers in the Preparatory Department at AU’s School of Music for one year, then taught elementary vocal music in Montgomery County, MD. After receiving my MA in 1959, I was on the music faculty of Concordia Teacher’s College (now Concordia University-Chicago) teaching piano and theory. It was at this time that I met my husband, Norman Schinkel, at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO. We were married on my birthday, July 10, 1960, and this year celebrated our 52nd anniversary and my husband’s 52nd anniversary of his ordination into the ministry. He has served three congregations – Mitchell, Ontario, Canada (five years), Beaver Dam, WI (11 years) and Warren, OH (32 years). Although we are both still employed with the church, we most enjoy getting together with our children and grandchildren who all live within a distance of three hours. Marital Status: Married Spouse: Rev. Norman H.

After nine months of practice and 250 persons in the audience, I received 15 bouquets of flowers. Later in the year, my classmate, Sara Van Dyke and I presented Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos with the AU Symphony. What a thrill for both of us! Favorite Professor/Class: I was so fortunate to be the first pupil of Evelyn Swarthout Hayes as she returned from a concert career to teach at AU. What a treasure she was! My favorite time was at my lessons with her. She taught

me so much and I will always be grateful to have had the opportunity to study with her. How AU Influenced Your Life: Attending AU has influenced my life in many ways. In the 50’s the campus was much smaller as were the classes and I have maintained many friendships from AU in my life. It also gave me the background, knowledge, and skills to have a successful career in music and teaching. I still use my music in many aspects – church organist for services and weddings, and as pianist for Trumbull New Theatre musicals, Bazetta Historical Society Opera House and Viets Museum tours, Kent State Choir and other community musical events.

I read everything that comes from AU to my house and I’m astounded at the tremendous progress achieved by the university. It’s a tribute to the administration, faculty and the quality of the student body that graces its halls. I was at AU two years after having finished junior college. I wanted to go to a Christian University like Bob Jones but I’m so glad that I was accepted at American. It was there I had the privilege of sitting under the teaching of Dr. Hilbert Rhoden who helped give my life meaning and fulfillment. He will always be treasured in remembrance. I continued my academic pursuit at the Eastern Seminary in Philadelphia but dropped out after one year due to economic pressure. I was preaching while doing studies. After one pastorate in MD I went to a public school to help due to a teacher shortage. I feel in love with teaching kids and became certified and took education courses at various schools but still kept preaching in churches, prisons, youth for Christ and on the streets. I received a Master of Theology degree and later was awarded an honorary Doctorate, D.D. I am a combat wounded veteran of WWII. I just wrote a book titled Out of the Shadows. It will be published soon.

4 Balsam Court W Homosassa, FL 34446 352-382-4826 Occupational Status: Retired Former Occupation/Title: Professor (Retired) AU Degree Information College of Arts and Sciences Personal Activities & Accomplishments: Golf, reading, listening to music, swimming, travel, and playing the organ Marital Status: Married Spouse: Rose Marie Date of Marriage: 1/26/1961 Additional Information: I was born and raised in Arlington, VA and commuted daily to the University. Among cherished memories are learning to drink beer at Churchill’s and eating pizza at Friendship Tavern. I

recall Leonard Hall as the home of great hamburgers and milkshakes, games of “Hearts,” and the winning of intramural table tennis and bowling championships. That this litany of “accomplishments” hasn’t the remotest connection to academics reflects the fact that I was immature to a fault and completed my BA in history only through the patience and understanding of faculty I would be remiss in not mentioning. Among those who tolerated my lack of scholarly demeanor were Professors John Edward Bentley, Harold Davis, Edgar Bowles, Dorothy Gondos, Charles Clark, Merritt Batchelder, John Clendenin, and Russell Person. I remember them all with great fondness and respect. They would be surprised to learn that following four years of military service and five years of graduate school at the University of Florida, I became, hopefully, a capable teacher who spent 28 years as Professor and Chair of the Department of History and Political Science at Miami Dade College. I retired in 1989 as Professor Emeritus and live with my wife of 51 years, Rose Marie, in Homosassa, FL, where, as residents of Sugarmill Woods, a lovely and friendly community, we enjoy membership in two country clubs. It’s been a gratifying and fulfilling life and my indebtedness to the University for helping make it so is great indeed.

Then, about 30 years later, God opened my eyes to all His wonders and grace when He transformed my life by guiding me into accepting His Son, Jesus Christ, to be my Lord and Savior. Life even became more exciting as He opened the door for me to become a short-term missionary,

which had been a childhood dream. He’s taken me on 18 mission trips to share His love with the lost and the hurting of this world. The Lord had also opened the door for me to turn pro and give golf instruction to many wanting to learn this fun game. There have also been many sculpture commissions and field hockey games to officiate from which I’ve had to retire because they don’t play field hockey down here. God led me to move to Fairfield Glade, TN on April 29, 2005. After 2 weeks of unpacking, I left for my fifth mission trip to China. Then back to my new home and many new friends in TN. The new addition on my house (a sculpture studio) is almost finished. I’m looking forward to joining the Art Guild and having classes for those wanting to learn the fun art of sculpting. Fairfield Glade is a golfing community and is known as the Golf Capital of TN, so it’s a wonderful place to help people learn or improve their golf games. He keeps me busy. Life is never boring.

Conger Date of Marriage: 8/1/1953 Children: Susan Wycoff and Bruce Conger, (twins); Carol Wieting Additional Information: The highest point of excitement for me at the American University was walking out of chapel at Metropolitan Methodist church and being tapped for cap and gown which became mortar board. How honored was I to be president. I looked forward to our weekly luncheons with student government officers. Dean Dorothy Gondos was our sponsor and how I admired and kept in touch with her for 50 years. I received a congratulatory card from her for our 50th wedding anniversary August 1, 2003, but recently attended her memorial service. It was very exciting to be part of the planning for the inauguration of Hurst Anderson, the new president of AU. Dr. Batchelder influenced me greatly as did Dr. Clark. I went to see Dr. Batchelder at his home on the eastern shore before his death. I saw Dr. Clark at our fortieth class reunion. At my graduation Dr. Clark told me he had never seen a person mature and develop as much as I had during my four years at AU. I was honored to have been chosen by the Provost, Dr. Derby, to receive the Mary Graydon Scholarship all four years at AU. The day of graduation I was presented the Faculty Women’s Award to the senior woman who has initiated and completed plans which have made campus and community life richer and more varied! It was an honor to lead the procession to receive our diplomas. AU will always hold a special place in my heart. Dr. James McLain was a great person who led choir weekly for chapel. How much I enjoyed these sessions for rehearsal as well as singing in chapel.

Kinberg Date of Marriage: 1957 Children: Jonathan, William Additional Information: When I attended American University it was very small but it was just beginning to expand. There was Hurst Hall, Clendenin Building and Battelle Library. Ladies were housed at Mary Graydon Hall. The men were in separate dorms. Some classes were in temporary buildings. We had the sports center and a large indoor swimming pool. We had bowling lanes. We had a small campus book store and gift shop. There were also classrooms during my last two years at the downtown school in Washington, DC. I believe these belong to George Washington University now. The College of Law was there in Washington, DC. Women could not wear slacks or jeans except at exam time. No men were ever permitted in the women’s dorm except for moving in day or moving out days. There was a house mother and we had to sign in and out. We had to be in the dorm by 10 p.m.; if my memory serves me correctly. We had men’s and women’s basketball teams. There was no air conditioning at the dorms. Everyone ate at the Mary Graydon Cafeteria. We used the Library of Congress for term paper research. Very few students had cars. I found college classes to be very challenging. I look back to those years with a smile and with great memories.

AU Degree Information: BA, College of Arts and Sciences AU Organizations: Dorm House Council (Pres.), Student

Christian Fellowship (Pres.), DRAMAT, KD, Glee Club, President of Class of ’44 Degrees Earned From Other Universities: MA, SUNY at Oneonta, 1970 Current Occupation/Title: Housewife (Retired) Marital Status: Married Spouse: Lyman “Bud” Taylor Date of Marriage: 6/24/1950 Children: Lawrence, Sandra Personal Activities & Accomplishments: United Methodist Women, reading, watching television, creating programs: religious and secular volunteer work Additional Information: Looking back over 60 years in 200 words calls for a bit of compaction. The Class of ’44 was one of change, adapt, hold-the-fort, and graduate. Of the nearly 200 freshmen in ’40, only nine of them were part of the class of twenty-six who graduated in ’44. (The week prior, some of our class was on Omaha Beach.) Over the years, change, as money – there hasn’t been too much of that. But change in occupation and address aplenty. All the while major goals in life have been constant. Being of service to others has been the under girding of my life’s journey. After a short while in business, I went to Korea for the United Methodist Church Board of Missions, helping reestablishments following WWII. Change – Yes! In the city of Seoul, Korea, I met and married The Reverend Lyman “Bud” Taylor. On the following day the Korean War erupted, and we honeymooned on the evacuation trip to Japan. Change: After three years of teaching and the birth of our son, Larry, together with some changes of address, we came back to the USA. Changes? Oh, yes. Rev. Bud & I had eight parishes together; and also the birth of our daughter, Sandy (the second of two children of whom we are very proud). Along the way, I was active on many levels of United Methodist Women. I also acquired a Master of Arts degree in elementary education at the State University of New York at Oneonta. Now we are comfortably settled in a retirement home. During the summer of 2005, I did lots of traveling to the West Coast visiting family, friends, and a couple of reunions. I am not sure if American University had planned to train me in meeting change. I am sure that my AU experience had much to do with my life, so I say “My thanks!” to the school and “My greetings!” to all of the alums. Keep the faith!

It’s been over 60 years since graduation—hard to believe. Personal Activities & Accomplishments: My main accomplishments were bringing up three children and getting them all through college. The boys both have doctorates. Is being PTA president at elementary, secondary, and high school levels an accomplishment or just a glutton for punishment? I knit and crochet while watching TV and struggle to read newspapers and keep up with the news. AARP, bridge clubs, and a split-level house keep me physically active and out and about.
