smorioka web page smorioka@umich.edu Alumni Interview In 2008, Bill Heenan, '76, traveled to Sana'a, Yemen, to gain professional experience at an English language institute. The trip presented many unusual opportunities and situations. When the institute’s director became sick, Heenan suddenly found himself running the institute.

He provides us with a glimpse into this little-known area of the world. 118784 2009-10-27T14:14:48Z 2009-10-27T13:49:24Z tag:mblog.lib.umich.edu,2009:/aaumpodcasts/6575.53491 2009-10-27T13:49:24Z

bwhites web page bwhites@umich.edu Alumni Interview You may be familiar with the music of Steven Ball, '00, MMUS'03, AMusD'08, even if you don't realize it. This is strange when you consider that he performs on massive instruments. One is the carillon in Burton Tower, which consists of 55 bells with a combined weight of 43 tons. The other is the Barton organ at the Michigan Theater, where part of his job is to accompany silent films. Learn about Ball's unique and musical life in our latest podcast.

smorioka web page smorioka@umich.edu Alumni Interview After Bo Parfet got his MBA from Michigan in 2000, he immediately went to work on Wall Street as an investment banker. The job left him little time to train for mountain climbing, an interest he had pursued for years. He learned just how ill-prepared he was as he scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa, in 2003. But rather than dissuade him, the climb changed him. Since then, he has scaled each of the seven summits--the tallest mountain on each continent. He shares his stories of climbing in his book "Die Trying" and in an interview here. Bo Parfet continues to climb and to lecture around the country about his experiences. You can learn more online at www.boparfet.com. 13352960 2009-06-16T16:38:13Z 2009-06-16T16:34:05Z tag:mblog.lib.umich.edu,2009:/aaumpodcasts/6575.51125 2009-06-16T16:34:05Z

bwhites web page bwhites@umich.edu Alumni Interview Michigan alumnus Bobby Scales realized a dream this season. After playing 10 seasons in baseball's minor leagues, he was called up to play infield for the Chicago Cubs. His season got off to a great start, but he was sent down to the minors before being called up again the next day. And shortly after this interview, he was sent to the minors again. No wonder his story has been compared to a Hollywood movie. But despite the changes, one thing remains: his dedication to the game of baseball. In this interview, he talks about his long time in the minor leagues, his reaction to being a major leaguer and his love of U-M. 15443027 2009-05-19T15:28:32Z 2009-05-19T13:08:03Z tag:mblog.lib.umich.edu,2009:/aaumpodcasts/6575.50695 2009-05-19T13:08:03Z

bwhites web page bwhites@umich.edu Alumni Interview At the end of May, two recent U-M graduates will embark on the adventure of a lifetime. They plan to bicycle across America, playing music at nursing homes along the way and relying on the hospitality of strangers for their daily needs. If all goes well, they will raise $50,000 for the Alzheimer's Association in the process. We talked with 2007 U-M graduate Kendal Sparks about the ins and outs of the trip, and about how Alzheimer's affected his own family. 15003648 2009-04-20T19:21:56Z 2009-04-20T19:15:22Z tag:mblog.lib.umich.edu,2009:/aaumpodcasts/6575.50240 2009-04-20T19:15:22Z
