Wittenberg University students Dylan George, Corey Ragan, Melanie Ellis and Jasmine Jones perform a reading of The Predator. Photo by Nick Mottern After the play I thanked the performers, the stage manager, Chelsea Jenkins, and the Patrick Reynolds, the assistant professor of acting and theater history, and I had the feeling that they had enjoyed their work. I expect that all who attended, including two children, will not forget the experience. Columbus State Community College – 31,000 students In Columbus, our base of support was at the Free Press, a journalistic and political action organization headed by Bob Fitrakis. The organizing for our visit was handled by his friend and associate Mark Stansbery and by Suzanne Patzer, Bob’s wife. 18
Nick Mottern speaks at Columbus (Ohio) Mennonite Church. Photo by Mark Stansbery On September 17, we took two drones to an Obama rally, which I will discuss in more detail later. That evening we spoke to a meeting of Central Ohioans for Peace at the Columbus Mennonite Church. The audience of about 15 people was very attentive and supportive; one of the women in the audience has since volunteered to work with Mark on stopping the drone wars. The next day, we visited Columbus State Community College, where Bob teaches and Suzanne is an administrator. As we stood by the trailer we use to carry the drone replicas, assembling a replica that we intended to roll onto the school’s central plaza, students came over and began asking questions. We ended up spending 20 minutes talking there before we could get moving toward the campus plaza. We attracted more students as we rolled the drone among the food carts at the entrance of the plaza, and when we reached our destination near a statue of Christopher Columbus we continued to be engaged in conversation. Over the course of nearly two hours, there was never a point at which both George and I were not talking to at least one person. Our audience varied widely in race, ethnicity and gender. We had an extremely satisfying experience in which people exhibited open-mindedness and hunger for information. 19
