Jack Castturo '24 was 11 years old the first time he visited Kenya, on a mission trip that he kickstarted with his father through their church. There, in the city of Kisumu, the Pittsburgh native learned how to combine solar panels, inverters and batteries to build powerful devices.

"We built some of these solar sets with the students there and showed them how to power their homes," Castturo said. "My interest in engineering took off from there."

Growing up in Cape Verde, Victor Svistunov '22 "barely had medical access. I've seen people die from simple infectious diseases. That fueled my passion to help."

When he arrived in the US, he went on to the pre-health professions program at Harrisburg Area Community College before coming to Bucknell through the Community College Scholars Program. Biology majors work directly in the labs of Professors Sarah Lower and Moria Chambers. "All the knowledge I gained – bioinformatics, genomics, microbiology techniques – I can use to study gut biology to find novel ways to fight infectious diseases."

Your piece in Spring 2022 Bucknell about John McKeegan '84 [P. 31] brought back memories of his father, Hugh McKeegan P'81, P'83, P'84, P'86, G'10, who was a professor of education at Bucknell in my day in the late '60s. Hugh and another professor of education, William Goodwin, were instrumental in the development of my career in many ways.

Both were involved in field research in school districts around Lewisburg, and allowed me to apply the research methods I learned in class in their projects. In 1975, Dr. McKeegan joined me in Portland, Ore., on a federally funded project directed at advancing the practice of testing students' ability to apply what they have learned in real-world settings. Later he invited me to speak at Bucknell on this topic.

Dr. Goodwin lit a fire in me through our research project and steered me into Ph.D. program in educational research at the University of Colorado. The faculty's interest in their students' futures and writing applied articles with them are two aspects of my Bucknell education that I will cherish. And, in addition, the liberal arts curriculum at Bucknell has influenced my lifelong interest in developing interdisciplinary graduate education and research. I have learned that most research requires applied knowledge and methods from several disciplines.

When this issue [SPRING 2022] arrived, first online and then in hard copy, I was very excited for one "aww shucks" reason: The cover photo and how it brought up memories for me … my dog, Amos, and how the McKinneys were. ' extraordinary "VIP" Mort brought me full circle to Lewisburg.

Amos lived with the Fitzgerald family, blessed us truly, for 14 years, and made a huge difference in how we lived as a family. Amos taught us humor, patience, the need to slow down, the need to be peacekeepers. It seems Mort exudes those same qualities, and I'll bet he's a de facto "therapy dog" who students seek out, while they also come for company and advice from the McKinneys.

One thing that should be mentioned is that my name is Mort! When I was very young, my sister and two brothers reduced Margaret's formality to … Mort. And it stuck.

When I arrived at Bucknell in 1973, I introduced myself as Margaret, no family nicknames. But the chance letter from my brother at Trinity College was addressed to Mort Boles. My friend announced it in a hall meeting with our RA, and it was greeted with enthusiasm. From there, I decided to continue (or my hallmates would not let it go), and in quick order, it became a "point of differentiation" and really – in some ways – served me quite well: Young lotharios thought it was quite sexy (go figure) , the general folks thought it was quite "cool," it helped me stand out in the vigorous tide of young women swimming like salmon through the rushing sorority stream (one rarely forgets to meet a woman named Mort), and I was. going to start a trend that Madonna, Rihanna, The Weeknd and others will emulate: a one-name phenom.

I loved the McKinneys' story and their brave and beautiful decision to join the Bucknell family, and the collective heart of our entire family melted at the sight of all those photos of Mort. For many reasons, this story resonated with me and my family.

I was a bit saddened to see that the editor Sherri Kimmel moved on, but quite happy to see that it was while she was still a "starter" like Peyton Manning was.

Your story [Spring 2022, Letter to the Editor] is amazing and motivating, even for this elderly octogenarian. I am moved by your commitment to your next endeavor, Sherri, and admire your focus and enthusiasm. So many today lack both. Continue to make a difference.

I've Been Admitted To Bucknell

I am writing to thank [former editor Sherri Kimmel] for your brilliant leadership during your seven years at Bucknell. You and your staff have developed a publication dedicated to meaningful stories and updates about the University. You have a great ability to select germane topics that resonate with alumni, as well as the University and the local Lewisburg community.

Positive energy is an invaluable component of success. You epitomize this trait, both in your personal writing and in the format and "feel" Bucknell. I am confident that you will bring your infectious positive energy to your efforts in public service.
