1970s

Rich Ulery (B.S., ’71) was elected to the Continental Elementary School Governing Board in southern Arizona for a four-year term.

Take the Stage, by Philip J. Martin

Phil Martin (B.A., ’76) published his second book, Take the Stage: 64 Essential Leadership Lessons Learned From Theatre.

Mark Gaffney (B.S., ‘78) released his book, Deep History and the Ages of Man in September 2020. The book presents compelling new evidence in support of Charles Hapgood’s theory, first proposed in the 1950s, that the Earth’s crust can move and has done so many times in the remote past. Mark presents multiple lines of evidence that before the end of the Pleistocene the north pole was located on Baffin Island (Canada). Mark’s book documents four such events over the last 120,000 years.

1980s

Randal Lapsley (B.S., ’88) was promoted to vice president at RS&H, a national consulting engineering firm. Lapsley manages the Denver office transportation group, which provides engineering design services to CDOT, cities, and counties throughout Colorado and across the U.S.
