John Bruning (1990, BA )
John Bruning (Class of '90) reached the NY Times best seller list this past summer with his eighth book, a ghostwriting effort with former Diplomatic Security Service agent Fred Burton. Published by Random Hosue, "Ghost: Confessions of a Counter-Terrorism Agent" reached #27 on the NY Times non-fiction list. John's ninth book, "How to Break a Terrorist," a co-authorship with Matthew Alexander, details the story of how the U.S. developed the intelligence that led to the assassination of Musab Al Zarqawi, the head of Al Qaida in Iraq. The book is due out from Free Press in October, 2008 pending approval from the Pentagon's Office of Security. John is currently working on another Iraq book, this one with Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Workman who received the Navy Cross for actions in Fallujah in December, 2004. The book, tentatively titled "Shadow of the Sword" will be released by Random House in 2009.

John also helped found a non-profit corporation earlier this year that provides training support to the Oregon National Guard and local law enforcement. To that end, he's been tear-gassed, detained, zip-cuffed and searched by soldiers, SWAT teams and state police more times than he'd care to remember!

Would love to hear from any long-lost Ducks I knew back in the day.

In 2004, Danielle was among thirty students selected nationally by the Envision Institute as a USA Intl. Diplomatic Mission Nominee to Brazil. She met alongside foreign diplomats, statesmen, and tribal elders to study how the U.S. adapts its business models to work in Brazil and the importance of import/export practices. She examined the role of community organizations in Rio de Janeiro in improving life for orphans with HIV/AIDS. In the Amazon, she worked with an indigenous tribe toward efforts in preserving biodiversity and cultural survival within their communities. As a result, she was able to facilitate dialogue that focused on land rights and greater transparency among government leaders in Brasilia, US ambassadors, and tribal elders. She also participated in efforts to establish healing dialogue groups for women in the favelas of Rio who have suffered war trauma & gender violence.
Danielle worked with New Leadership Oregon, a women’s leadership initiative program. Through it, she researched poli­cies on poverty and hunger along with members of the Oregon Food Bank and Red Cross. Danielle’s policy proposal on hunger was recognized by Governor Barbara Roberts, at a 7-day leadership conference in 2006.
Danielle served as a researcher at the Intl. Women’s Media Foundation in Washington, D.C. The organization recognizes female journalists who put their lives at risk to report on war and crime.
Danielle went to Haiti with a medical team where she worked with women and development, prenatal care and immunizations, and teaching reading to children. She received credentials from American Univ. as a mediator and conflict resolution facilitator. Danielle will be graduating from AU this summer, 2008. She was recently selected for a fellowship with the United Nations Association. She also represented American Univ. in South Africa and studied post-apartheid issues and women’s health. Most recently, Danielle served as political intern with the Department of State in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Organization of American States.

Deborah (Brown) Kimokeo (1979, BS )
Deborah (Brown) Kimokeo (1979, BS; 1983, MS) writes, Upon completion of my undergraduate degree at University of Oregon, I married my husband and taught elementary school on the Oregon Coast and simultaneously finished a graduate UO degree, MS in Curriculum and Instruction. Later I moved to Portland and earned an MS (1991) in School Psychology at Lewis & Clark College. I had a wonderful time serving with my friends in the state leadership of the Oregon Reading Association, on a national committee with the International Reading Association, and became charter president of a local reading council during my tenure in Oregon. In 1988, we migrated to the East Coast where I served as a school psychologist in New Jersey, while living in Pennsylvania, and fulfilled a dream of starting my doctoral program at Teachers College/Columbia University in New York City. I continued in leadership with the International Reading Association, becoming a charter president of a local council in New Jersey, also. In 1998, my husband and I moved back West-to Davis, California- where I now work for Davis Joint Unified School District as a Crisis & Prevention Manager and co-facilitate a parent education class for the community, "Parent Project", with my good friend and colleague from the local police department. I finally finished my doctorate in Ed Leadership from Columbia in 2006, (tele-advising and doctoral committee selection was quite an interesting cross-country challenge). My most exciting recent professional endeavor is having my first book, "School Suicide Prevention Program Planning: Useful & Efficacious Guidelines" published ( February 2008) by a German academic publishing house, VDM Verlag. Life is good--lots of nieces and nephews in family at varying stages of development, terrific friends across the globe, and a wonderful husband, best friend, (and UO Alum, BS 1976, MS 1983) of 28 years who continues to keep the "Service in the Forest" (USDA Forest Service) as we share our life journeys together. Thanks be to God!
