Cover art: “Urban
Landscape, 2010” Oil on canvas
Hamline alumna Aubrey Hendry ’10 painted our cover art while a
student at Hamline. The view is looking out over Klas Field from the
Klas Center. Hendry says of the piece:
I think of the landscape as imagined, concrete, and ever-changing. As I worked on this painting, the days were sunny, the days
were foggy, the snow was melting, and spring was coming. I had
to consolidate those many changes to create a painting that
worked within itself. It was amazing to study this view because
I began to see things I had never noticed before.

From the President
From the Editor
Surely it’s a throwback to my elementary school days, but I
always equate fall with the smell of new crayons. For me, the
24-pack of Crayolas was the prized necessity on the back-toschool shopping list. My mother would often make me use
up paste and notebooks from the year before, but she always
relented for a fresh pack of crayons. There’s just something
about them that says possibility—especially in the fall, when
the air is crisp, the school year commences, and the time seems
right for a new perspective.
This issue of Hamline magazine is all about new perspectives. We feature Ed Jopling MALS ’09, who turned a series
of traumatic events into a journey of self-discovery in Galway,
Ireland—a move that would forever change his life. We also
hear from Hamline experts on the Gulf Coast oil spill and
lighten the mood with a profile on comedic writer K. P.
Anderson ’91. And while no one uses crayon as their medium,
we showcase the works of several local artists who offer their
perspectives on Hamline. The results are colorful, diverse, and
unexpected, which is to say: totally Hamline.

Hamline University first published an alumni periodical in
1904, called the Alumni Quarterly of Hamline University.
Now simply titled Hamline, the magazine is published
periodically each year.
Hamline University does not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, disability, religion,
age, sexual orientation, or veteran status in its education
or employment programs or activities.
This message comes to you just after the close of Hamline’s
Alumni Weekend, which started with the President’s Circle
Dinner and concluded with a worship service hosted by
Hamline United Methodist Church. In between, we witnessed
reunions of classmates celebrating their golden anniversaries
and special affinity reunions for the arts and the Greek societies
from years gone by. On a glorious fall day, the football team
won its game against Macalester (49–30). Children wandered
around campus with their parents, carrying balloons and
wearing face paint and “I love Hamline” buttons. The chimes
sounded as each name of someone who had passed in the last
year was read at the memorial service. Awards were given out
to distinguished alumni and several were inducted into the
Athletic Hall of Fame.
As president, I had the privilege of participating in all of
it. (Well, maybe not the football game!) Of course much felt
familiar, yet this year there was a sense of connection and
community that poignantly expressed our theme: “Make a
Difference.” One example of how the Hamline experience
impacts students was the speech of senior Jaclyn Johnson at the
President’s Circle Dinner about why she chose Hamline. She
said, “What made Hamline different from the other universities
to me was its sense of acceptance, closeness among peers, community, and a feeling of being at home…because of that difference, I wanted to be a part of this school and community.”
That evening, I recounted the story of another young woman
named Carol V. Beggs who received a degree in chemistry from
Hamline in 1966. Carol worked for many years as a chemist,
and lived modestly. Even though she could not belong to the
all-male investment club at her workplace, she managed to
overhear their stock picks while sitting at a table nearby when
they met over lunch. Carol never married nor had children.
Upon her death from cancer at 62 years of age, she left her
entire estate, valued at $2.5 million, to Hamline to support
chemistry scholarships and research. Her hope was that someday a Hamline student would find a cure for cancer.
Carol Beggs’s generosity will make a difference for Hamline
students in perpetuity through her endowment gift. Jaclyn
Johnson will make a difference in whatever pathway she
chooses. Both women acknowledged that those who made a
difference for them as students were the professors who encouraged them and challenged them to recognize that, indeed, one
person can make a difference.
I like the name President’s Circle of Donors because it
invokes this sense of community, which sustains our growing
circle of students who benefit from their generosity. Carol and
Jaclyn graduated from Hamline 45 years apart, and yet their
stories are amazingly similar. Both see the difference a Hamline
education makes. So, as the memories of Alumni Weekend
2010 linger, I want to assure you that your gifts and support
enable us to keep doing what we do best: make a difference.

Dust off the Trophy Case
Hamline has never been one to toot its own horn, so it helps when other organizations do it for
us. University rankings were recently released, putting Hamline in the spotlight. Here’s a rundown
of the university’s recent accolades.
For the tenth consecutive year, Hamline remains
the top-ranked Minnesota university in its class in
the 2011 rankings of “America’s Best Colleges,” by
U.S.News & World Report magazine.
The Princeton Review named Hamline one of the
best colleges and universities in the Midwest in its
PrincetonReview.com feature, “2011 Best Colleges
Region by Region.”
U.S.News & World Report also named the School of
Law second in the nation in dispute resolution and
named its Health Law Institute among the top 20
institutes on the country.
Hamline is again among the nation’s “best colleges
and universities” according to the latest rankings by
Forbes.com. Hamline ranked 262 out of 610 American
colleges and universities (out of a possible 6,600)
that had the distinction of making the “best” list.
For the Love of Leadership
Some people enjoy knitting—Jozie Nummi ’11 enjoys leadership training. “I like personal
development—striving to reach the next step,” says the junior global studies major and social justice
and legal studies double minor. “Leadership training is collaborative and constructive.”
Last summer, Nummi was one of 50 students in the world selected to attend the prestigious
Hesselbein Student Leadership Summit at the University of Pittsburgh. Throughout the four-day
summit, students learned how to be effective, ethical, and innovative leaders and worked alongside
distinguished mentors, including several corporate CEOs, nonprofit directors, and heads of government
and the military.
Nummi picked up lots of tips, including these five basic questions through which leaders can effect
change within their company:
1. What is the mission? “Every business should have a mission. It should be one sentence long
that you can put on a T-shirt.”
2. Who is the customer? “Think about primary customers and supporting customers. In the case
of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the primary customers would be the children, and the supporting customers
would be their parents and family members.”
3. What do our customers value? “Know what your customer wants and provide the best service
possible. One of our speakers was a recovering alcoholic who started an organization for the children
of alcoholics. When she surveyed the children, she learned that what they valued most, despite field
trips and playground equipment, were the counselors—being able to talk to someone.”
4. Are we giving our customers what they want? “Take
customer surveys. Look at the results. The results will tell
you what corrections you need to make—what programs to
continue and what to abandon.”
5. What is our plan? “Change is spurred by asking these
questions. Determine three to five goals. If you have too
many, your focus is too widespread. Narrow it down and
know exactly what you’re doing.”
Hamline ranks fourth in the nation of schools its size
in Washington Monthly’s new rankings of serviceoriented colleges and universities.

Legal Advice
“You can’t go to Hamline law school without graduating with
some sense of the idea that the law is a vehicle to help people,”
says Timothy Purdon JD ’94. President Obama recently
nominated Purdon as the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota. As
Purdon settles into his new role (he was sworn in last August)
we talked to him about his advice to young lawyers and his
desire to do good.
What does your new role entail?
The U.S. Attorney’s Office represents the United States in
federal court and handles all criminal prosecution in federal
court. There are 93 U.S. Attorney’s offices across the country.
My office handles the North Dakota caseload. Some of
our issues are crime rates on Indian reservations and our
international border with Canada.
Why did you strive for your position at U.S. Attorney?
I was in private practice for 16 years. I was able to help people
who were battling significant personal problems, but working at
the U.S. Attorney’s office allows me to take that public service
element to a higher level. I’ve been lucky in my life, and I feel
like public service is something I can do to give back.
The Big 2-0
In elementary school, if it’s your birthday, you bring in
treats. No one knows this better than Hamline School
of Education, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of
its Summer Literacy Institute (with cupcakes) last July.
Since 1990, the institute has brought area teachers
together for one week in the summer to learn from
renowned national educators.
Reenie Goepfrich, a fifth grade teacher in the
Minneapolis Public School District, has attended all 20
Summer Literacy Institutes. Here’s what she has to say
about making learning fun, writing thank-you notes, and
why she continues to teach.
I tell the kids straight up there’s no fun in the
fifth grade. But we end up having a lot of fun.
I make sure we have a field trip every month—
to the zoo, to the Walker Art Center, to the Mill
City Museum…We visit Richardson County Park
every season. We work with a photographer to
see life through a different lens. We do a lot of
writing. We’re busy all the time.
The Summer Literacy Institute is special—it’s
on the cutting edge. It gives me think time with
people who are exploring the future of education.
We might all be learning something different
because we’re all at different points in our
careers, but we’re all committed to spending

What advice do you have for young lawyers?
My advice is simple: as a lawyer, your most important asset
is your reputation. It takes a long time to build a good
reputation, but one phone call can ruin it. The law is an
adversarial business, but there’s no reason for counsel to
behave as adversaries. Many young lawyers come out of law
school ready to fight. Yes, you need to fight for your client,
but you don’t need to fight with each other. Disagree without
being disagreeable, and you’re on your way to building a good
reputation with the bar and with the bench.
The Art of Storytelling
one week in the summer immersed in literacy and
looking for better ways to teach our children. I
think the public should write a thank-you note to
every teacher who’s attended this workshop.
You need to push the boundaries in
teaching. Trust your intuition, take
risks, and accept failure as part of the
process. It’s never the same—each class, each
day, each hour. I do everything day-by-day now,
but my plan is to come back to the institute next
summer and to continue to teach. It gives me
enormous satisfaction.
In July, students in Hamline’s master of fine arts in writing for children and young adults program
gathered on campus for an 11-day residency with faculty members and award-winning authors, sharing
inspiration and techniques and simply telling tales from these and other notable books:
“I lay there and I thought how life was like a Litmus Lozenge,
how the sweet and the sad were all mixed up together
and how hard it was to separate it out.”
— Kate DiCamillo, Because of Winn-Dixie
“The wind drove Irene along so rudely she had to
hop, skip and go helter-skeltering over the knobby ground.”

Guiding Lights
In this economy, career guidance is a hot commodity. Through
Hamline School of Business’ Public Service Mentor Program,
students connect one-on-one with practitioners in their fields.
More than 30 students are enrolled in the program, which was
founded last year by School of Business Executive-in-Residence
Susie Brown and Jim Scheibel. Students meet with their mentors
once a month to talk about their Hamline classes, get advice
on their resumes, and learn more about their fields of interest.
“Mentors open the door for informational interviews and help
students network,” says Scheibel.
Soren Jensen MNM ’07 jumped at the chance to mentor
students from his alma mater. Jensen currently serves as director
of development for Project Pathfinder, a nonprofit organization
that works to end sexual violence and abuse, and as chairman of
the board for HandsOn Twin Cities, which connects volunteers
with volunteer opportunities.
“ The mentor program is a great example of how Hamline helps students
prepare for a job upon graduation,”
says Soren who mentored Kris Jensen ’11 (no relation), volunteer coordinator for Minnesota Reading Corps. “By matching
them with professionals from the sector, students see how
theory is turned into practice, complete with the challenges
and the triumphs.”
Kris says Soren helped her realize the importance of strategy
when building a career, including capitalizing on strengths,
practicing the skills one finds difficult, and seeing the value
of networking. “In the world of nonprofits, individuals must
wear many hats,” says Kris. “Soren has helped me see the
importance of diverse work experiences and reminds me to not
sell myself short.”
Commencement by the Numbers
Monumental Move
Thirty-five tons of history made its way across campus last summer. The Bridgman Court monument, which rested on the corner
of Snelling and Englewood Avenues for more than 50 years, now
sits next to Bush Memorial Library and Hamline School of Law.
The monument moved to make room for the new University
Center, which is anticipated to break ground in 2011.
The move was a challenge for facilities staff members and
contractors. Bridgman Court consists of 30 stone blocks, each
weighing roughly 1,800 pounds, and a base made up of five
3,000-pound blocks.
The structure commemorates Hamline’s first 100 years and
serves as a memorial to George Bridgman, Hamline President from
1883 to 1912, and his wife, Mary. It was commissioned by their
children, Donald and Dorothy.
Dorothy’s husband, John Rood, was the sculptor. The piece
took him nearly three years to finish. Upon its completion he said:
We are happy with the result. However, we realize that the
wall will be here long after those who conceived of it are
gone, and we can only hope that it will stand the test of
weather and changing tastes… Now that the physical part
is finished, Bridgman Court needs only your enjoyment to
make it a complete success.
Rood would be happy to note that the impressive sculpture still
stands at Hamline. We invite you to visit campus to see it in its
new home and view other Hamline art (see page 20).

Right on Track
Men’s Head and Women’s Assistant Track & Field Coach Paul Schmaedeke misses the old Hamline
uniforms. In recent years the team went from an eye-popping crimson red to a more sophisticated
burgundy. “I want them to stand out so I can see them,” he says. Schmaedeke needn’t worry—his
athletes are catching everyone’s eye, on the track and in the classroom. Both teams were named U.S.
Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) all-academic teams with several
members also earning individual all-academic honors.
On the track, the men’s team placed second to St. Thomas at both the indoor and outdoor Minnesota
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) championships. They were edged out by only seven points
at the indoor meet—the closest indoor finish in conference history. They posted 155.0 points at the
outdoor meet—the best finish at an outdoor championship in Schmaedeke’s tenure.
Athletes on both teams scored all-American honors last year, including Derall King ’11 (indoor: shot put
and weight throw, outdoor: shot put) and Becky Culp ’13 (discus throw).
But behind every great athlete is a great coach. Schmaedeke swept the 2009–10 MIAC coaches
awards, being named Men’s Cross Country and Men’s Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Coach of the
Year. Women’s Track and Field Head Coach Shawn Johnson-Hipp also was honored with a Breaking
Barriers award at Minnesota’s National Girls and Women in Sports Day celebration that honors coaches
who provide athletic opportunities for girls and women of all races, ages, and levels of ability.
All teams fought hard this spring, but the season brought glory especially to the women’s tennis and
men’s baseball teams. Women’s tennis was named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) all-academic team
and had several individual ITA scholar-athlete awards. On the baseball diamond, Matt Eickman ’13 was named
MIAC Baseball Rookie of the Year, and Tony Rogers ’11 was awarded the distinction of Gold Glove All-American.
He is one of only three Division III outfielders in the entire nation to earn the honor.

The Gulf Coast oil spill has been called the greatest natural disaster
in United States history. Eleven workers were killed in
the blast, which ultimately leaked nearly 5 million barrels
of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The leak is capped, but
the disaster wages on. In the spirit of “do all that you can,” the Hamline community aims to understand and take action
against the devastating ramifications of this deadly tragedy.

Taylor Fredin ’14 experienced anything but a typical beach vacation
when she visited the Alabama coast last June with her father, Tracy Fredin,
director of Hamline’s Center for Global Environmental Education. Hazmat workers replaced swimmers. Oily hermit crabs skittered along the beach, and sticky
tar balls the consistency of silly putty melted into blobs on the shore. “There was
sheen on the water,” she recalls. “Like rainbow puddles you see on the street.”
But unlike rainbow puddles, the vision was unnatural and deadly—to wildlife, to
the environment, and to the livelihood of thousands of people.
On the night of April 20, the Deepwater Horizon
rig that was drilling an exploration well for British
Petroleum (BP) exploded and caught fire 45 miles
southeast of Venice, Louisiana. Days later, it sank
and began gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico—an
estimated 4.9 million barrels in 87 days. BP successfully capped the broken well in September,
but the extent of the damage is unknown.
The environmental impact
The same week BP cemented the well shut, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
announced that all but 26% of the leaked oil had
evaporated, dispersed, or been removed from the
water. The remaining oil amounted to 1.2 million
barrels, a volume nearly five times the size of
the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William
Sound, Alaska.
Hamline biology professor Bonnie Ploger
says Prince William Sound is still affected by the
Exxon Valdez spill. Oil remains evident under
rocks along its beaches, and the amazing numbers of herring that used to swarm the area have
14
Hamline Magazine
all but disappeared. “Disease may have killed the
fish,” Ploger says. “But the reason the disease
had such a big impact could be that the fish
were weakened by oil in their environment. In
one study, herring that were exposed to crude oil
were more vulnerable to viral infection because
the oil suppressed their immune systems.”
Ploger, who added a case study on
the Gulf Coast spill to her “Biodiversity and
Conservation Biology” course, worries about its
consequences on Brown Pelicans—the same bird
colonies she lived with for months at a time while
conducting her doctoral research on the Gulf. The
birds spend years perfecting the art of plunge
diving—taking down fast-moving prey by diving
into the water from flight. In the event of an oil
spill, however, they could dive to their deaths. “All
of their feathers get oiled,” she says. “They lose
their buoyancy and are in danger of drowning.”
Migratory birds also are at risk. “Oil below
the surface could kill the organisms that many
birds eat, creating a food shortage,” says Ploger.
“Even if food is available, toxic compounds from
oil may get into the food supply, which could
cause immediate harm or deteriorate the birds’
health over time.”
John Downing ’73, a biology professor
at Iowa State University and president-elect
of the American Society of Limnology and
Oceanography (ASLO), has researched the Gulf’s
“dead zones,” where oxygen levels are so low
most organisms can’t survive. He worries about
the 1.8 million gallons of dispersants that were
sprayed into the water to disperse the oil.
Dispersants, which are made with the same
chemicals found in skin creams and household
cleaners, break down the oil. Tiny organisms
then eat it and naturally eliminate it from the
ecosystem. No one has ever sprayed this much
dispersant, however, and the long-term biological
impact is unknown. “Many people are as concerned about the dispersants as they are about
petroleum damage,” says Downing.
“We could feel the constant
flow of oil—every day,
every minute. You realize
that this is people’s livelihood. It’s tied to the whole
economy of the area.”
ASLO, which has a policy office in
Washington D.C., is helping to connect the government with expert scientists. Downing hopes
that Congress will provide funding for further
research. “We don’t know enough about the
effects of massive pollution on marine ecosystems,” he says.
Closer to the ground were the Fredins,
who surveyed the damage with the Alabama
Clean Water Partnership. “In our visit, the biggest anxiety was that of the unknown,” says
Tracy Fredin. “We could feel the constant flow
of oil—every day, every minute. You realize that
this is people’s livelihood. It’s tied to the whole
economy of the area.”
The economic impact
Attorney Brian Toder ’86 worked as part of
the trial team that prosecuted the Exxon case in
1994. Toder helped establish that the
captain was drinking double scotches on the
rocks before he crashed the oil tanker into a reef
in the middle of the night. He also investigated
Exxon’s policy of working its people “to death.”
“The mate on watch had been up for 20-some
hours,” Toder says. “He was totally burned out.”
Toder still gets together with other
lawyers who worked on the case, including
Brian O’Neill, an attorney at Faegre & Benson in
Minneapolis, who has spent his career prosecuting Exxon. O’Neill recently told Congress that if
you walk into a rural bar in Alaska today, people
talk as though the spill happened last week.
Some fishing communities are half the size that
they once were. The price of fish from oiled
areas plummeted, boats and fishing permits lost
value, and the herring at Prince William Sound
never recovered. Hard feelings have been exacerbated by Exxon’s repeated court appeals that
reduced punitive damages to a fraction of their
original size.
Hamline law professor Steven Swanson
has taught on the topic of oil pollution in international waters. He says it can be difficult to predict
and prove future economic damages caused
by an oil spill. After the Exxon Valdez spill, for
example, Japanese consumers were hesitant to
buy salmon from the United States, and the
drop-off in spending lasted for years. “Some
attribute it to a glut in the international market,
but I think a good argument can be made that
they avoided the Alaskan market because of the
oil,” says Swanson. “Certainly that was the plaintiffs’ argument.”
Claimants should have an easier time collecting damages this time around, thanks to a
$20 billion trust set up by BP. The fund will compensate claimants for property damage, clean-up
FALL 2010
15
costs, and lost earnings. Fisherman should be
able to recover damages. “But if somebody owns
a resort 10 miles off the coast, then I don’t know,”
says Swanson.
BP has demonstrated deep pockets thus
far, according to Hamline business professor
Fahima Aziz. BP reports that it has paid approximately $6.1 billion to cap the well, clean up the
spill, and pay compensation claims—an amount
on par with its first quarter profits of about $6
billion. “Right now, this has not made much of
a [financial] dent in the company,” says Aziz.
Though she qualifies that the dent could become
more substantial if BP’s stock price stays down
and profitability figures dip.
The Hamline impact
Hamline law students could become involved in
Gulf Coast litigation through practicum course
placements. Law professor Cathryn Deal has sent
students to work in the Orleans Public Defenders
Office in Louisiana where oil spill litigation is now
consolidated.
Students could receive as much as a
semester’s worth of academic credit for their
work in a New Orleans law office, nonprofit, or
government entity. “Students might help unemployed fishermen and others with claims for damages, assist in the administration of relief payments, represent wildlife organizations in seeking
coastal restoration assistance, and similar tasks,”
says Deal.
Hamline is getting involved in other ways
as well. Faculty members are looking for spring
break volunteer trips for students and servicelearning opportunities for practicing K–12 teachers. Professors are incorporating the spill into
their curriculum to analyze its environmental,
economic, and social ramifications.
The Center for Global Environmental
Education will deepen its partnership with the
Dauphin Island Sea Lab, a marine laboratory in
Alabama. “People feel empathy for the problem
and want to help,” says Tracy Fredin. “And it

“Is it down there lurking, just

next big storm? Or has it been
broken down? There are so
many questions. I don’t think
anybody really knows.”
affects them—seafood will cost more, there are
transportation issues, and there are numerous
connections to the global economy.
During their June survey of the Alabama
coast, the Fredins met with Allison Jenkins, the
statewide coordinator of the Alabama Clean
Water Partnership. Jenkins uses an educational
program on Alabama waterways that was
developed by Tracy and the Center for Global
Environmental Education. The interactive program features videos, virtual tours, and computer
games, and staff members are adding a new
module on the oil spill. It will appear at public
information kiosks on the Gulf Coast beachfront
and will connect to the Internet.
Jenkins has presented the program at
Alabama teacher workshops, water festivals,
and zoning board meetings. “I fell in love with
it,” she says. “It’s a perfect piece for students,
but also for legislators and municipal officials.
We want to send the message that the decisions
we make matter. This is an easy way to help
them understand.”
The social impact
Jenkins’ husband, Steve, is in charge of field
operations for the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management. His team members
are exhausted as they coordinate the Gulf
response around the warehouse fires and fuel
spills that normally occupy their time. “Right now
they’re trying to figure out how clean is clean
enough at the end of all this,” says Jenkins.
“They may have to excavate six to eight feet of
sand at the waterline.”
Tourism in the area has dropped exponentially, despite celebrity efforts such as a July
Jimmy Buffet concert to attract people to the
area. People aren’t willing to chance a vacation
on an oil-ridden beach. “Not all of the oil has
washed in, but nobody knows where it’s gone,”
says Jenkins. “Is it down there lurking, just waiting to come in with the next big storm? Or has
it been broken down? There are so many questions. I don’t think anybody really knows.”
Recent Congressional testimony noted
that Alaskans experienced a host of social
aftershocks from the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.
O’Neill, the longtime attorney on the Exxon case,
reported that fishing-based communities saw
an increase in divorces, bankruptcies, alcoholism,
and depression.
That’s no surprise to Hamline sociology
professor Melissa Embser-Herbert who taught
the course, “Applied Sociology: The Social
Dimensions of Disaster,” after Hurricane Katrina.
Embser-Herbert says the trickle-down effects
of environmental disasters are not always
obvious, such as the stress they can cause on
individual families.
Nevertheless, she says people are powerfully connected to their land—no matter how
disaster-prone it might be. “You look at entire
towns destroyed by a tornado,” she says. “And
they say, ‘no, we’re going to rebuild. We’re not
abandoning it,’ even though they know that
there is a risk. People find a way to get through
what may seem insurmountable.”
Do All That You Can
The Gulf Coast oil spill presents another
slippery slope into political turmoil, economic
downfall, and environmental destruction. In
short: it’s a big, oily mess. But we’re Pipers—
we’re not afraid to get our hands greasy.
Here are some ways you can help:
1. Volunteer with organizations such as the
National Wildlife Fund (www.nwf.org) or
the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana
(www.crcl.org). You can become part of a
surveillance team to monitor the impact of
the spill on wildlife and habitat and/or help
with clean-up efforts.
2.Take action. Ask your senator to support
clean energy legislation, ride your bike
instead of driving your car, and save energy
at home by using wind, solar, or geothermal
energy technologies (for more information,
visit www.renewableenergyworld.com).
3.Many of the birds affected by the Gulf Coast
spill are migratory. Give them a place to
stay—provide wildlife habitat in your own
backyard.
4.Buy Gulf seafood. About one-third of
the Gulf remains open to commercial
fishermen, according to thedailygreen.com, a
consumers’ guide to the green industry. Gulf
fishermen are doing their best to provide
safe, uncontaminated freshwater fish from
these waters. The prices may be high, but
your purchase will bolster the local economy
and provide work for Gulf fishermen.
5.Raise awareness. Pass along these tips and
spread the word about how to help.

Out Fog
of the
by Elizabeth Kephart Reisinger
At age 40, after a series of traumatic events, including a nasty divorce and the suffocating,
regretful grief of his father’s death, Ed Jopling MALS ’09 found himself in Ireland. To get there,
he divested everything he had, quit his lucrative job, and bought a one-way ticket to Galway for
an unexpected spiritual transformation.
In his master’s thesis, “The Guinness Sutra,” Ed Jopling writes,
“Deeper we rode into the Connemara. My excitement was
growing with a tingle in my stomach and I felt closeness different
than any I had felt before … Connemara, this was where my old
ones dwelled, where my father’s spirit no doubt had gone in his
passing … I was going home to them.”
An improbable traveler
Born on Saint Paul’s east side into a blue-collar family, Jopling
quietly excelled in school. After graduating from Irondale High
School in New Brighton, he considered college, but “nobody from
my family had an education beyond high school,” he says.
Societal pressures got the best of him and, foregoing college, he
found work as a mechanic. He eventually became a technician at
a wastewater treatment plant in Saint Paul, a job he would hold
for more than 20 years and one that would afford him a large
home in the suburbs, a Corvette, and vacations to Europe and
elsewhere abroad.
About a year into his wastewater treatment job, he got the urge
to go to college. “Then a really bad thing happened,” says Jopling.
“I met my first wife.”
His tumultuous marriage would last 15 years before divorce.
During the final, painful years of his marriage, Jopling’s father
died—a loss that filled him with the regret of the unsaid and time
not spent. It was then that Jopling began to look for something
more meaningful in his life.
A new chapter
First, he completed a bachelor’s degree in writing and communications at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul. But
that wasn’t enough. It was a visit to Albuquerque, New Mexico,
investigating a master’s degree program and staying at a hostel on
historic Route 66 that led him to Ireland.
“I started thinking about my dad and different things came
back to me,” he says. “Then I had this weird feeling—I suddenly
knew what I had to do. It was like Galway was calling me.”
While Jopling’s family claims a 100-plus-year history in Saint
Paul, Galway is the Jopling family ancestral home. Jopling’s father
would spin tales about how their family was one of the founding
tribes of Galway and the Connemara region of Ireland.
Jopling sold everything he could, boarded a plane, and rented a
room in an old house just a few blocks from Galway Bay.

Hamline Magazine
Into the fog
“Here I am, sitting on the floor with a peat fire burning in
this cold house and I’m thinking ‘what have I done?’” says
Jopling. “Rather than feeling mystical, I was pretty darn lonely,
sad, and depressed.”
His spirit eventually warmed and Jopling began meeting
people—even dating—and traveling. His most transformative
moment, he says, was meeting an old man named Peadar at
pub in the Connemara, a rugged region northwest of Galway.
Unexpectedly, Peadar took Jopling on a journey in his old, red
truck around the backcountry of the foggy Connemara.
Jopling writes, “It was like I had chewed peyote with a shaman
and was now traversing some spirit realm … ‘Aye, ya feel it now
do ya not?’ Peadar spoke softly. ‘Do ya remember now? You
belonged to the Connemara once, long ago. Ya wouldn’t be here
if she didn’t invite ya home.’”
“It was suddenly like I was talking to my own father,” says
Jopling. “I didn’t tell him anything about myself, but he
knew what I was there for. It was the most wonderful and
amazing thing.”
Jopling writes, “Peadar had been the spirit guide Virgil to my
Dante, leading me along to my epiphany. I felt I had reached the
turning point in my quest and no longer sought answers; rather,
I began to let it come to me and I merely accepted.”
Back home
After four months in Galway, Jopling’s visa ran out and he
reluctantly returned home. “I didn’t want to leave, but it was
meant that way,” says Jopling. “I was supposed to go to Ireland,
have my experiences and then it sent me home.”
Jopling returned to Saint Paul and took a job supervising immigrant workers in a factory. After a few years, he bought a house
on Saint Paul’s east side and got a job with the State of Minnesota
working with Minnesota Care. He completed Hamline’s master’s
in liberal studies program in 2009. He also is happily remarried to
his second wife, Susan.
Now 51, Jopling describes himself as “profoundly different.”
“I spent the first 40 years of life acquiring stuff and was more concerned with how I was supposed to live,” he says. “After Galway,
I started viewing life more as—it just comes to us. I stopped struggling with life, stopped worrying about it.”
He hesitates in giving advice to anyone, but does say “don’t
swallow everything everybody tells you because they are in authority. Believe and trust in your own self.”

Such works are unique to the university. They convey a strong sense of place for students and faculty and
staff members and serve as an instant reminder to alumni of happy days spent on campus. They make
Hamline memorable for visitors and for prospective students.
Last spring, new works of art by local artists, staff members, and an alumna were installed in campus
classrooms, helping to make them as distinctive as Hamline. The new works all represent the university,
yet their perspectives vary greatly. Seeing Hamline through these artists’ eyes, we can’t help but wonder:
how do you see Hamline?

ollage artist Andrée Tracey (“Letters Home” and “Valedictorian”) is drawn to retro
designs and historical data. “I love a good story and vintage artifacts seem to be infused
with tales—imagined or otherwise,” she says. With more than 150 years of history, she
found Hamline “a perfect fit for my artistic inclination.”
To gather inspiration for his painting, “The Bishop and the Piper”
(previous spread), Eddie Hamilton took a walk on campus with his oneyear-old daughter. “She was fascinated by the steps at the School of
Law, so I made sure to include them,” he says. “The experience gave
me different perspectives to use in the painting and time to reflect on
what my daughter’s college experience may hold.”

Just Add Laughter
Emmy-winner K. P. Anderson ’91
gives The Soup its comic bite.
It’s
been more than a decade since K. P. Anderson ’91
called the Twin Cities home, but he can still describe every
nuance of a Minnesota laugh. “It’s not overly ironic—
Minnesotans like the things they like. If you get the laugh
then you’ve really earned it, and it’s a genuine, natural laugh,”
he explains. “You might get easier laughs somewhere else, but
they’re less true.”
As head writer and executive producer of E!’s The Soup,
Anderson cultivates laughs for a living (the show offers recaps
of ridiculous television show clips accompanied by snarky commentary from comedian Joel McHale) and credits a Hamline
professor for identifying comedy as his career path. “I was in
a public speaking class and Professor Lapakko pulled me aside
and told me I was naturally funny when I did my speeches.
He suggested I try an open mic night to see where it might
take me.”
Armed with Lapakko’s confidence, Anderson traded campus
life for comedy clubs as he circulated through local venues like
Knuckleheads and Acme. By the time graduation rolled around,
Anderson was already booked for a summer comedy tour. A
move to Los Angeles quickly followed, but the comedian spent
more time serving at Johnny Rockets burger joint than slinging
jokes, so he headed back on the road (crashing in Minnesota
with family when necessary) to become what L.A. needed:
“more funny.”
While stuck in a hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, Anderson
wrote a comedy sketch that he forwarded to friend and writer
for The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show. Wayans, who bought the
sketch, hired Anderson as one of the show’s writers. “The burn
of having not succeeded bothered me quite a bit,” Anderson
says of redoubling his efforts on the road after his initial experience in L.A. “Writer and comedian Rich Hall of Saturday Night
Live told me that my writing was more layered than the average
comic, and that I should put down more on the page. That led
me to writing for TV shows.”
by Monica Wright
A career in comedy
It’s been 13 years since Anderson took his first writing job,
and he can boil that timeline down in a quick summary of
career moves: Politically Incorrect on ABC (“Bill Maher fired
me. Twice.”), Mohr Sports on ESPN (“I am passionate about
sports, this Favre thing is agony.”), the Wayne Brady Show on
ABC (“I won an Emmy for that show.”) and finally his current
spot on The Soup.
After writing about politics and sports, entertainment—and
the gaffes that go along with it—is a natural resting place
for Anderson. As head writer, he and his staff comb through
roughly 250 television show clips each week (these range from
programs like The View and Good Day L.A. to Yo Gabba Gabba
and American Idol). The top 25 are then eviscerated in jokes.
According to Anderson, the weekly program maintains its
popularity thanks to age-old schadenfreude. “The things celebrities put themselves through to get notoriety are so ridiculous,
and people enjoy the visceral look at all this outlandish behavior,” explains Anderson. “They take a little relief in knowing
they’re not that messed up.”
When he isn’t ravaging The Real World or poking fun at
Project Runway, Anderson will occasionally hit the stand-up
circuit with McHale. Last year the duo played the State Theater
in Minneapolis, and Anderson said the Minnesota-style feedback he received let him know the show went well.
“There’s this stoicism about Minnesotans that if you really
put on a great performance, you really nail it down, then you
will get the highest compliment ever, which is: ‘That was
pretty good.’”
Anderson has also recently revived old Hamline connections
via the social networking site Facebook. “I did standup in college and basically disappeared for the last two years of school,”
explains Anderson. “Now with Facebook I can get in touch
with old friends from that part of my life.”
But his true Hamline pipeline operates the old fashioned
way: “My mom lives down the street from Professor Palmerton.
If Pat tells my mom some Hamline news, I get an email
almost immediately.”
“There’s this stoicism about Minnesotans that if you really put on
a great performance, you really nail it down, then you will get the
highest compliment ever, which is: ‘That was pretty good.’”

27 Associations of Hamline Alumni News 28 Class notes 33 In Memoriam
Give to the Max on November 16, 2010!
As Hamline alumni, there are many ways to participate in the life of the university.
Robb Prince Remembered
Hamline mourns the loss of board chair and longtime trustee
Robb Prince, a member of Hamline’s Board of
Trustees since 1996 and chair for the last year,
passed away peacefully on August 24.
Prince was a financial consultant and retired vice
president and treasurer of Jostens, Inc. He held a
BA in economics from Carleton College and an
MBA from the Wharton School of Business at the
University of Pennsylvania.
“Robb Prince was an exceptional Hamline
trustee. He was a person we all respected, admired,
and trusted to guide the governance of this great
university,” says President Linda Hanson. “Robb
cared deeply about the student experience and we
often discussed the importance of taking care of our
people at Hamline. He always championed investing in our most precious resource—the faculty and
staff of Hamline.”
In 2001, Prince and his wife, Jackie, established
the Prince Family Scholarship out of a desire to
support Hamline’s diversity efforts and to make
26
Hamline Magazine
available the life-enriching benefits of a liberal
arts education to deserving students. In 2002, the
couple designated a portion of the Prince Family
Endowed Fund to support Hamline’s John Wesley
Trustee Award for Faculty, which honors an outstanding faculty member each year.
By providing a leadership gift for the construction
of Hamline’s University Center, the Princes recognized the project’s importance in sustaining student
learning and engagement.
Prince leaves behind his wife, Jackie, their son
and daughter, and their grandchildren. An avid
sailor, Prince enjoyed regaling his fellow trustees
with stories of his adventures on Lake Superior and
the high seas. He was approachable on any topic,
well-versed in current events, and well-educated on
the critical importance of the liberal arts. He will be
greatly missed.
The family has requested that memorials be
sent to Hamline University and directed to the
University Center Fund.
You can attend events (reunions, sporting events, theatre and music performances, and facultyled seminars); you can volunteer as an alumni board member, a class agent, or a mentor; and
you can give to the university so that we can continue to provide an exceptional academic and
cocurricular experience for our students.
