With all the national news following the decisions by grand juries in the cases of Eric Garner (Staten Island, NY) and Michael Brown (Ferguson, MO) and the protests that have taken place in cities across our country, the Office of Multicultural Education and Community Life arranged a series of events designed to educate our students about what is happening, while also providing avenues of open discussion among students and faculty to share feelings, and different points of view.

David Taylor Johannesen ’64 will be publishing a book through Simon & Schuster, NY, in December. His novel Falcons & Seagulls was begun in 1999 and has undergone four revisions. The story begins in 1959 when at age 13 and a student at Fessenden School the main character spends time with Hollywood mogul, Howard Hughes, also an alum of Fessenden, comparing notes on their school. Using family sources (the author is a 5th generation Mormon from Utah), Johannesen weaves together a story around the completion of Israel’s nuclear capability and its subsequent cover up thirty years later. The rest he says has been “the craft of fiction, creating and sustaining characters, romance and conspiracy within the framework of a thriller. One early review has described it so: ‘complex writing with a lyrical voice; erudite yet accessible.’”
