Professor of Political Science David Hendrickson ’76 found an interesting note on the door of his west side Colorado Springs home last summer. A location scout for “Our Souls at Night,” a Netflix film based on the book by the late Kent Haruf, thought the house would be perfect for the character played by Jane Fonda, who stars in the film with Robert Redford. The timing of the two-month filming schedule was fortuitous; Hendrickson was on sabba-tical during the Fall 2016 semester, spending his time in Santa Fe, New Mexico, working on a book. He and his wife, Clelia deMoraes ’76, hosted a neighborhood party when the film was released. Their only regret? “That reviews of the film, most of them quite positive, failed to mention ‘The Most Important Thing’ about it,” says Hendrickson.
