LaRue Wentz, a niece of the late Ed Jordan, put together a display of his artwork for Patti’s Main Street Coffee House in New Castle, Colo., in April. Ed taught at several universities from 1928-48, including the University of Washington, the University of California-Berkeley, Harvard University, the University of Illinois-Urbana, and Bennington College. In 1934, he built a mass spectrograph, an atom-weighing machine that was the largest and most powerful of its kind. He was asked to participate in the Manhattan Project to develop the first atomic bomb, but declined because of the bomb’s intended use. Due to exposure to radiation, his health was compromised, and he returned to New Castle to research Ute Indian trails and make rubbings of petroglyphs. He regained his health and began creating art and poetry. He died in 1996.

Henry C. Klingman ­offers younger alumni three observations gleaned from a long life: “1.) There is no such thing as a free lunch. 2.) The CC experience does not diminish in its effect on your life over the years. For some it is a milestone marker; for me a cornerstone. 3.) The only aspiration for mankind is universal love. History has shown us the dichotomous Love/Hate pattern breeds War/Peace. It doesn’t work to bring about our most basic desire: Happiness. Time for us to try something else.”
