Augie Coppola, Director of the General Honors Program at California State University at Long Beach 1968-1971 during my freshman, sophomore, and junior years.

We were Augie’s “kids” … We were entranced by the “Wizard of HOB” … We were the creative freaks who embraced Augie’s innovative, inspirational and interdisciplinary teaching … We made films and tv video … We experimented with “Art and Technology” in 1970 and created the prototype of the Tactile Dome … We combined Philosophy and Physics in one course and researched iconoclastic world views in another … We worked for free at the Experimental College doing whatever Augie asked us to do in the name of Art and Education … David and I rolled around on the grass for Augie in early 1973 so he could film our actions in regular, slow and fast speed, demonstrating that caress becomes violence and violence becomes loving embrace depending on the film.

In the Spring of 1992 I had Augie’s phone number in SF and called him … He remembered me as one of a group of very special students at a very special time … And I told him how important and influential he had been and that I carry his wisdom throughout my life … And I thanked him.

I say “Thank You” again … now more than ever.

With love,

Terry Church, Eugene, Oregon

Eyes are both windows and beacons for the mind. They provide vision — our most precious sense. But they also transmit signals to others — signals of anger, lust, fear, compassion, happiness. Eyes can desire (‘A lover’s eyes will gaze an eagle blind’; Shakespeare, Love’s Labours Lost 1595) ; but also violate (‘They rape us with their eyes’; Marilyn French, The Women’s Room 1977) ; and eyes can reflect our innermost thoughts (‘Her eyes are homes of silent prayer’; Alfred, Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam A. H. H. canto 32, 1850). Gaze is arguably the most powerful component of body language.

Barn, I watched the Pahfest’s films and hopefully listen to Caruso’s tribute and symbols to Dr. August F. Coppola. That was a wonderful idea, Coppola……Eyes are very important and a good soucre of vitamin A…Coma- Robin Cook..

My father died when I was twelve. My wonderful mother died only last year. I light candles on All Saint’s Day for them during Mass. When I do, I feel their presence. Today, I also lit a candle for your dad. Peace to you and your family.
