Charles “Chuck” Miley, BS ’65, Maplewood, NJ, wrote: “The 9/11 Memorial Museum located at ground zero in the footprint of the World Trade Towers in New York City, has acquired my woodblock print diptych for their permanent collection. The woodblock print has pochoir, relief and collage elements and is titled ‘T’was Rangda Set the Birds Afire I & II.’ The image of Rangda is of Balinese Hinduism and is one manifestation of Durga the killer witch.”

Gary Featheringham, BS ’66, North Potomac, Md., wrote, “My memoir, Three Months of Socialism: Living in USSR During the 1970s, was published through Amazon (August 2019). It captures the first three months of our daily life while I was working at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, from 1972 to 1977, assigned to the East European Operations of Control Data Corporation, a supercomputer manufacturer. It is not political, but rather documents our struggles living under the Soviet system and trying to raise an infant daughter.”

He photographed Sunday night, May 3, 1970, and was processing film on Monday when the sirens began going by.
