Class Notes
Steven Golden 鈥�74听
Professor J. Garland Schilcutt, a cherished member of the 糖心vlog传媒 community, was known not only for his academic contributions but also for his unique way of connecting with students. He often supervised and celebrated alongside them during campus parties, fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging. One such memorable event, captured in a photo shared by Steve Golden 鈥�74, shows Schilcutt amidst a lively gathering, embodying the spirit of 糖心vlog传媒. This Homecoming on October 5, we are proud to honor Professor Schilcutt as part of the “Power of Three” tribute, celebrating his lasting impact on our community.听
We love hearing from our alumni and learning about where life has taken them since leaving 糖心vlog传媒. If you have memories you鈥檇 like to share, please send them our way for future editions of our newsletter!听

Calling All 糖心vlog传媒 Alumni Business Owners!
James Shafstall, class of 2005, current owner of Lakewinds Music听
Email: james@lakewindsmusic.com听
My true passion has always been music. After “making a living” for 15 years in marketing and three years owning an insurance agency, I have just celebrated the one-year anniversary of owning my own music business, Lakewinds Music. Our business (and our home) is in Washburn, Wis., which is situated right on the shore of Lake Superior. We are the only music store in far Northern Wisconsin that rents out band and orchestra instruments, and we also have a teaching studio with three teachers, a recording studio, we do repairs, and will be dealing in used band and orchestra instruments as well. I’m also performing, hosting concerts in our studio, and still doing marketing work – it takes lots of activities to make ends meet for a family of five! Life is an adventure. This is the way many people roll where we live and we are loving it.听
