Two pieces by Assistant

a book

Professor Jauchen joined

Louisiana-Lafayette and his
teaching and scholarly
interests include creative

autobiographical writing.
His stories, essays and
poems have appeared in a
number of print and online

DIAGRAM, Santa Monica
Review, Night Train
magazine and Knock.
Two alumni memoirs
chronicle the authors’
efforts to overcome
difficult life events with
faith and determination.
Diane Tefft Young ’61
was diagnosed with idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis
in 2005
and received
a
life-saving
lung trans-
plant five
years later.
Her 58-
page book, Humbled
by the Gift of Life: Reflections
on Receiving a Lung
Transplant (Create-Space),
explores her journey and
the spiritual growth she
experienced as she battled
a terrible disease.
For Whitney McKendree
Moore ’67, the disease that
threatened
to
tear
apart her
family
was
alcoholism.
In
Whit’s End: The Biography
of a Breakdown (WestBow
Press), she shares a
deeply personal story of
the mental anguish she
suffered, and how the
uplifting power of faith
helped to keep her family
together.
Eibhlin Morey MacIntosh
’71 has published a how-to
guide, The Content
Curation Handbook (New
Forest Books), which is
available
for
Kindle.
“I love
curating
content,”
writes
MacIntosh. “It’s always
an adventure!”
The online world has
pitfalls, of course.
Business owners trying to
avoid foolish Facebook
posts and terrible tweets
might
want
to look at
Navigating
Social
Media
Legal
Risks: Safeguarding
Your Business
(Que Publishing). Coauthor
Eric Garulay ’96
describes it as “the first
comprehensive social
media legal guide for
business.”
