During times of life transition, baby boomers should focus on enhancing their skills and

and their own capabilities.
“Do an inventory, and decide what you are good at,” Newman says. “Don’t be shy
about telling people what you can do — not what you can’t or won’t do.”
She also recommends boomers make sure they are up to date on the latest knowledge and software in their fields, such as Twitter and
LinkedIn.
There are 76 million baby boomers in the country, Newman says, and there is strength in that number even in a down economy.
“We have been social change agents since day we were born,” she says. “As a result, we collectively are accustomed to reforming this country
to cope with us, and to benefit from us.”
Karen Dowd, executive director of the Suitts Center for Career Services at the Daniels College of Business, agrees.
“I do believe the boomers are going to once again lead the way. They are the first generation to have the luxury of extending their career lives
indefinitely and our notions of the ‘right’ age to retire just got more nebulous — courtesy of the recent economic meltdown,” Dowd says.
Along with career consultant Caela Farren, Newman has coauthored a book about life transitions of all sorts. While targeted to boomers, the
as-yet unnamed book offers tips to anyone who is facing transition such as retiring, re-entering the workforce, changing careers or marital status,
relocating, increasing community involvement or starting a new hobby.

DU professor translated book by 2009 Nobel Prize winner

Sieglinde Lug, a DU professor emerita, helped introduce the writing of 2009 Nobel literature prize
winner Herta Müller to English-speaking countries.
Lug translated Müller’s Nadirs (University of Nebraska Press, 1999) from German to English. Müller,
a German author, was awarded the prize Oct. 8.
“It’s really wonderful that a book that is so powerful will get more attention now,” Lug says.
Nadirs is based on Müller’s childhood experiences in Romania. She describes a troubled life where
violence and corruption are prevalent under the oppression of the state.
Lug made final revisions to the book while she was teaching a Techniques of Translations course at
DU. She mentions four of her students in the afterward. Since the announcement of the Nobel Prize,
Lug’s received e-mails from some of those students.
“The students were quite helpful in making suggestions,” she says. “It is wonderful that they heard
about this.”
Lug taught German, comparative literature and women’s studies at the University of Denver from
1978 to 2005. She acted as the director of the women’s studies program from 1995–99.

years — including The Sixth Sense, Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon
and Bruce Almighty — Roger Birnbaum (attd. 1968–71) has made
his mark in Hollywood. He returned to his alma mater Oct. 2–3 as
a keynote speaker at DU’s Alumni Symposium, which gives alumni
the chance to participate in classes taught by University faculty.
More than 250 alums participated in this year’s symposium.
Birnbaum attributes much of his success to his time at DU
— it was as president of the Board of Governors, a student group
that brought speakers and musicians to campus, that he was first
bitten by the entertainment bug. He later held vice president
positions at A&M and Arista records, which led to similar jobs in
the film industry at United Artists and 20th Century Fox. In 1998,
Birnbaum co-founded the production, finance and distribution
company Spyglass Entertainment.
We asked Birnbaum more about his star-studded career.

Q What exactly does a movie producer do?


A If there’s an analogy to sports, a producer of a film is pretty

much the general manager of a team. The way it usually works
is there is a piece of material that a producer has developed, and
he brings the material to a studio and says, “I would like to make
this movie.” If they like the material then they’ll ask, “How much
do you think it will cost, can you put a budget together?” If the
budget is something that sounds reasonable to the studio, they’ll
say, “Let’s go find a director and some stars.”

Q We keep hearing how the industry’s focus has shifted

 Ice legends
Alums reunite to celebrate 60 years of DU hockey

E ven though the game is played on ice, the memories of former DU hockey players and coaches are some of the warmest of their lives.
More than 300 faces and voices from DU’s legendary hockey heritage recalled stories, re-lived past glories and rekindled friendships at
an Oct. 10 reunion honoring the program’s 60th anniversary season.
And the memories went back to the beginning. 
“If you don’t have a first year, you can’t have a second year,” says Doug McKinnon (BS ’52, JD ’54) with a warm, deep chuckle. McKinnon
played on DU’s first team in 1949 and served as the squad’s first team captain.
At 81, McKinnon looks spry, clear-eyed and full of wisdom. When asked what hockey taught him as he entered his life as a successful
Denver lawyer, he quips, “You have to understand you win some and lose some, but if you do your best and still lose, that’s OK.” 
McKinnon, who began playing at age 5 in Canada, says one of his favorite memories on the ice was simply, “I was a defenseman and
I liked to shoot on the net and get one in now
and then.”
The reunion was a massive undertaking
headed by a committee of former players, staff,
student managers and fans who approached Peg
Bradley Doppes, DU’s vice chancellor of Athletics
and Recreation, two years ago.
“Denver hockey has meant so much to
the University and the community of Denver
since its inception nearly 60 years ago,” Bradley
Doppes says.
To borrow a metaphor from another sport,
“it was a grand slam home run,” says Tom
Sampson (BSBA ’70), a committee member and
team student manager from 1967–70.
Sampson helped organize a weekend full
Nathan Solheim

of activities for the former players, which

culminated in an Oct. 10 game against Vermont.
One of those players was a fellow teammate of
McKinnon’s, Norman Kasch (BA ’52), who was full of praise for his former team captain.
“We needed somebody who could carry their thoughts out on the ice to make it go,” Kasch says. “Doug was that guy — a coach-player,
the guy who was there, the spark plug — and after 60 years, it all boils down to Doug. He’s the guy who made it fly.”
Kasch, a forward, downplayed his contribution that first year. “I don’t recall the coach ever saying two or three words to me. I was just
meat out there during the practice.”
Today, Kasch is a retired architect who acts much younger than his 84 years. He lives with his wife of 59 years, Julia, in Aurora in a
senior community and is a regular at water aerobics, sailing and golf. 
His sentiment about hockey’s life lessons mirrored McKinnon’s: “Keep the honor of what you’re doing, no matter if you’re losing and
at the bottom of the heap.”
And they are lessons younger players echoed as well.
“It sculpts you as a person, you learn how to work on a team,” says Mark Rycroft (BSBA ’03), who played from 1997–2000 and who
retired last year from a thriving career with the Colorado Avalanche. “It shaped my life, I met my wife here and built my mind to be a
successful person. I look back and realize it helped me become confident to solve problems.”
Erik Andersson (BSBA ’96, MS ’97), who played from 1993–97, could have won the award for traveling the farthest for the reunion — he
and his family flew from Sweden, where he’s an investment banker.
“It means a great deal to me to have been a part of the program,” Anderson says. “When you look at all the history, it’s unbelievable
and incredible.”
DU’s current coach, George Gwozdecky, says he’s been happy to be a part of the tradition of “so many great players and great teams
who’ve fought and won the many championships and to be part of the players who’ve gone on to play professional hockey. It’s an amazing
ride.”
