Dr. Louis Reichman, Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History has been appointed to the Orange County Historical Commission. Dr Reichman retired from Fullerton College in 2002 after teaching Political Science and History here for 35 years. During his tenure Lou also served as chair of the Political Science Department and chair of the History Department. We thank you Lou for your years of dedicated teaching at Fullerton College and for your continued service to our community.

Kudos to Professor Nancy Bjorklund on a job well done! Dr. Bjorklund's research on Reformation Archbishop of Canterbury Matthew Parker has been published in the summer edition of Sixteenth Century Journal, a periodical of historical research. Her article, "A Godly Wyfe is an Helper," presents thorough research on Parker's views about clerical marriage. Dr. Bjorklund's interest in Matthew Parker began with her doctoral dissertation at University of California at Irvine. Her research brings together not only historically significant topics such as the English Reformation and women's status in patriarchal English society and the church but also relates to contemporary discussions in the church on clerical marriage.

Dr. John Walker's manuscript, "John Lothrop Motley: Boston Brahmin and Transatlantic Man," has been published in Traveling between Worlds: German- American Encounters. Volume 38. Austin: Texas A & M University Press. Dr. Walker is a recipient with top honors at the Webb-Smith Competition at Texas A & M University.
