Jim Edstrom, Harper Professor of Library Services and History, has published “Avenues of Transformation: Illinois’s Path from Territory to State” (Southern Illinois University Press, 2023, ISBN 9780809338764). It is available for purchase from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and many other bookstores. This book tells the story of shame, ambition, and will that led to Illinois’s admission to the Union in 1818. It describes each stage of the narrative—the original statehood campaign, the passage of Illinois’s statehood-enabling act by Congress, and Illinois’s first constitutional convention—by focusing on the primary leaders in each of those episodes. The lives of these men—Daniel Pope Cook, Nathaniel Pope, and Elias Kent Kane—reflect the momentous tangle of politics, slavery, and geography. This history maps the drive for statehood in the conflict between nation and state, in the perpetuation of slavery, and in the sweep of water and commerce. It underscores the ways in which the Prairie State is uniquely intertwined—economically, socially, and politically—with every region of the Union: North, South, East, and West—and captures the compelling moment when Illinois statehood stood ready to more perfectly unify the nation.
Avenues of Transformation is the recipient of the Russell P. Strange Memorial Book Award from the Illinois State Historical Society as 2023’s “Book of the Year.” For more information please visit https://jimedstrom.me/
Dr. Vicki Atkinson’s new book, “Surviving Sue” is an eye-opening story about the fallout of keeping secrets, told from a daughter’s perspective as she navigated her mother’s mental health and addiction issues, while trying to shield and protect her disabled sister.
Available in paperback Surviving Sue | Eckhartz Press or on Amazon (ebook), Vicki’s story about resilience and intergenerational healing is a compelling, heartfelt read.
One reviewer wrote, “Surviving Sue captured and held my attention from the first page to the last. It’s reminiscent of ‘Angela’s Ashes’ and ‘The Glass Castle’, both engaging stories of overcoming told with humor, grace, wisdom and forgiveness.” -Author Julia Preston
Pascuala Herrera, June 2020 retiree, published “Not Always a Valley of Tears” (which is also available in Spanish) which is now available for purchase on Amazon. Pascuala Herrera retells her story as a Mexican immigrant woman with a physical disability resulting from childhood polio, who had the odds against her, yet she conquered simply by working hard, having unfailing faith, and finding her own life purpose. She shares her experiences as a child who contracted Polio in La Purisima, Durango Mexico, and how she overcame many challenges to become a successful educator, wife, and mother. Although her mother always told her that “life was a valley of tears,” she learned that although there were many difficult moments in her life, there were also beautiful miracles that happened every day. For supplemental information, including a photo gallery, visit pascualaherrera.com.
Retiree Michael Nejman‘s new book, “Laughing at the Sun: The Story of a Man Who Changed His Spots,” is now available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle editions. One reviewer said it’s “a hilarious mid-life coming of age story, told against the backdrop of a road trip that has gone very, very wrong.” Another said, “…(it’s) engaging, funny and enlightening.” Think “Sideways” meets “Tuesdays with Morrie.” For further details, and to purchase the book, go to: www.michaelnejman.com . (Please note: this story contains sexually explicit content.)
Retiree Bruce Bohrer‘s book, “Best Seat in the House — Diary of a Wrigley Field Usher,” would make a GREAT gift for Cubs fans! The book is about Bruce’s nine seasons working as an usher for the Chicago Cubs. It’s filled with hundreds of stories about what takes place on the other side of the wall at Wrigley. From humorous crowd-control episodes to poignant marriage proposals at the Cubs dugout, it’s a great read about the fans who come from all over the world to see the shrine called Wrigley Field. Here’s a comment from a reviewer Mike Terson (former PA announcer for the Cubs) — “Bruce was immersed in what makes experiencing a major league baseball game at a venue such as Wrigley Field so fascinating. I’m sure you will enjoy hearing these stories from his vantage point in the ‘Best Seat in the House’.”

From Dianne Kinn – I’m checking in with all my Harper friends to tell you I am alive and well in sunny Myrtle Beach, SC. Living in an independent living facility is a different lifestyle — I’m as busy as ever. If anyone is interested in calling or dropping me a line — I’d love to hear from you. I’m here because my daughter lives close by PLUS I live one mile from the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Update August 5,2025 – Greetings from hot and rainy Myrtle Beach. I’m enjoying my life at an independent living facility. Lots to do and comfortable living. No cooking, no stressful driving, no housecleaning, exercise equipment available, fun people, etc . I miss you all, particularly my friends,and nephews & family, downtown Chicago, Lou Malinati pizza and Chicago hotdogs. Call me if you’d like — 708-212-5792 dianemkinn@gmail.com

From Pat Beach – I’ve been in Michigan since June 2022 and enjoy retirement. Instead of travel we are setting up our home as we bought an old Michigan cottage, tore it down and built a retirement home on Lake Huron about 100 miles northeast of Detroit in Michigan’s “Thumb”. Moving from Cook County with 5.3 million people to Sanilac County with 40,000 residents (140,000 livestock!) is sure a different lifestyle. Our closest town is 10 miles with 800 people. Quiet but all is AOK. I keep an open Facebook page:

05/13/2020 John Clarke, Psychology, 1988 – 2020
Greetings Everybody! Will be jumping into the retirement pool pretty soon (Aug. 1, 2020). Harper has been in my life since I started as a student in the Fall of 1972. Over the years it has been central in my life as well as those in my family. My wife, Eve, graduated from the nursing program at Harper and worked at Northwest Community Hospital as a surgical nurse for 35 years. Our three children all had experiences with Harper as they pursued their professional interests. We are all staying put at home and looking forward to engaging with former Harper folks who are now living their lives beyond the common bond of Harper. John
05/04/2020 Jaci Carroll, Information Technology, 1983 – 2010
This is Jaci Carroll writing a little note to catch everyone up about what I’ve been up to since retirement. I worked in Information Technology in a few different positions (Lab Supervisor, Manager of the Advanced Technology Resource Center, and Software Licensing and Asset Control Manager).
After retiring, I decided I wanted to stay connected to Harper, so I maintain a presence with the Harper College Annuitants Association. Staying connected with my friends from Harper has given me many reasons to attend movies, luncheons, and dinners.
After my husband Chuck passed away in January of 2011, I made a decision to move to Crystal Lake into a nice ranch home, close to one of my daughters. Another decision was to travel! Here are some of the places I went: Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, China (Hong Kong, Beijing, Xian). The Asian trip was a month long. The continuing list is Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, England, and Ireland. I am anxiously awaiting the time when I can travel some more.
At home I read, put puzzles together, and lots of gardening. My most favorite is being with my family (my children, eleven grandchildren, and my four siblings). My life is full and blessed!
04/14/2020 Phil Troyer, Counselor/Stu Dev Faculty, 1972 – 2002
Mary Ellen and I are healthy. We try to walk one and a half miles each morning. Tuesday through Thursday and Saturdays I pick neighbors grapefruit and other citrus and donate to the food bank. I have an extension pole picker and use no ladder. The citrus are now in blossom for next year’s crop and ripe fruit is still on many trees in the neighborhood. So I started with one nearby tree, then others saw me and asked if I would pick and donate theirs. Only 140 pounds a day, but am up to 1600 pounds so far. Another two residents are picking and donating now, too. A good outcome from being hunkered down. The AZ State Park Campgrounds are still open as the campsites are very spread out and social distancing is easy.
So far my offspring are Covid-19 free. Two new great-grandchildren were born last month. One in Colorado, and one in Wisconsin.
Health to you! Love and good memories . . . . Phil
04/13/2020 Solveig Bender, Math Lab & Math Adjunct, 1976-2007
I was in the Math Lab for 25 years where we worked as teachers to students who were not prepared for college level math from 1976-2001. After a year of retirement, I came back as an adjunct in the math dept. teaching for 6 years each spring 2002-2007. Harper was a great place to work. My oldest grandson just finished Harper and has been at Olivet Nazarene for a year.
I moved to the Moorings 7 years ago, one year after my husband died. I like it very much here and enjoy my apartment. I traveled a bit but now am ready to enjoy local places. The grandkids are graduating college and started to get married. No grandkids yet. One is a math teacher in Virginia and so is her husband. She is quite a whiz and has finished her Master’s degree.
