, because as a little boy all he wanted to do was join the French Nazi Milices because all his friends would play by pretending to be the soldiers. By 1942, his family was arrested.

Meritoriously skipping the third grade, the young composer had afforded himself the luxury of a year in limbo – graduating high school a year early and giving himself time to explore before college. “My music is essentially dramatic, it’s story telling.

musician I was well aware of the fine choral tradition at Lutheran colleges around the country. I remember seeing the Choir of the West at a National ACDA Convention in the early 80s and I was impressed. I had been in the Southwest for long enough and an opportunity came up to teach at PLU. The prospect of moving into a choral position at a Lutheran college located in a completely different, beautiful part of the country was very appealing to me. Aside from marrying my wife, Patti, it was the best move

students are in completing it. Kakar talks about “milestones” – setting up enough successes early in the year, so that they are able to reach their project goal. All CSCE capstone projects take place over the entire academic year – professors like to get the students thinking about it during their junior year. Any project is going to need many milestones – and a mentor like Kakar to offer support, insight and an occasional whip crack. Even so, there will be enough all-nighters in the project room

and I do in our experiments actually bears many parallels to cooking. By varying the amounts or types of ingredients, the order we add them to the pot, and the time and temperature we heat or cool them, we work to eventually perfect the finished dish – the target compound. Safety goggles aren’t powerful enough to actually let us see compounds we make. And, unlike the chemists of the early 1900s, we don’t taste our products in the lab anymore, either. We must use special instruments to help us “see

From there we headed to Red Chili camp to be welcomed by tame warthogs and cold bottles of Fanta, which is by far the best beverage to have on hot afternoons anywhere in Uganda. Several warthogs onsite were raised by the innkeepers and are quite fearless. At one point in time I was even nuzzled by one. The next day, after a delicious meal and a nice sleep shrouded under a mosquito net we headed bright and early, 6:15 to be exact, into the savanna of Murchison Falls. Hasan shot
