The President’s Perspective
The University of Tulsa is frequently defined by the
tree-lined 230 acres on which it stands, but the common
ground of our University extends far beyond TU’s
campus to the national and international community of
individuals we are proud to call alumni.
The strength of any university depends upon the
involvement of its alumni, and TU is fortunate to have
graduates whose definition of personal success includes
an ongoing interest in the life of their alma mater. This
commitment is seen in the growing number of TU
alumni chapters nationwide, in the growth of alumni
support for the TU Annual Fund, and in the founding
last year of our Alumni Association’s first National
Board of Directors.
There is one time every year when TU invites
all alumni to “come home” for a special reunion
known as Homecoming. This year’s celebration will
take place on September 22-24, when alumni from
many cities will travel to Tulsa. I am excited to be a
part of Homecoming, and I hope that I will have the
opportunity to meet many of you personally during our
three-day reunion.
Homecoming 2005 promises to be an excellent opportunity for alumni to connect with each
other, experience firsthand the major developments underway on campus, and celebrate the
memories that have united graduates for more than 100 years.
One of the most important Homecoming traditions is the recognition of Distinguished
Alumni. This year we will honor 2005 Distinguished Alumni John Forrest, Jim McGill, and
Charles Owens, as well as our J. Paschal Twyman Award winner, Charles Norman, and Mr.
Homecoming, Earl Johnson. This is an extraordinarily accomplished group of honorees, and you
will find their profiles on pages 14-21 of the magazine.
This issue is also filled with Homecoming information, and I hope that our extensive
schedule of activities will entice you back to campus. I think you will be surprised at the
transformation underway with the construction of the Case Athletic Complex at Skelly Stadium
and TU’s new “front door” entrance along Eleventh Street, which will include a sweeping oval
drive with a landscaped commons; Bayless Plaza, the future home of the historic Kendall Bell;
and Collins Hall, a new building incorporating the current Shaw Alumni Center and Whitney
Hall into its design.
We also look forward during Homecoming to celebrating our new affiliation with
Conference USA. We hope you’ll join us to cheer Coach Kragthorpe and the Golden Hurricane
to victory in our first conference game against the Memphis Tigers.
For all of these reasons, but most importantly because you are a valued member of a
University family made stronger by your participation, I invite you to come home to TU to
make Homecoming 2005 a reunion in the truest sense of the word.

years ago on a remote Indonesian
island. The popular press has
nicknamed the diminutive creatures
“hobbits.” The scientist who led the

Dr. John
Forrest
Distinguished Alumnus
Y
ou can never truly relive a moment in your life, but
you can relive the memories every time you share them
with someone else.
Tulsa physician John B. Forrest’s (BA ’72) earliest
memories are of sitting next to his grandfather, Herbert
A. Forrest, at Skelly Stadium helping to cheer the Golden
Hurricane to victory. Those cherished memories have now
evolved into a mission for Forrest.
Forrest, along with six other people, has a very special
goal — to fill Skelly Stadium for the first football game. As
a legacy, Forrest will never forget the moments he shared
with his family at the stadium and wants others to experience that same warmth in making their own memories at a
place rich with history and meaning.
“My earliest memories are of going to football games
at Skelly Stadium with my grandfather,” he says. “Both my
grandfather and my father impressed on me at an early age
that TU is one of the integral pillars of this community,
and that the continuing support of TU was a very important issue, not only for the Forrest family, but also for the
community in general.”
In fact, Herbert was so adamant on Forrest’s father
attending The University of Tulsa, that he paid a professor’s salary during the Great Depression to ensure his son
graduated with a degree from TU.
Forrest voluntarily paid the salary of his son’s biology
teacher, Professor C.A. Levengood, during a time when
the university was forced to lay off many of the staff and
faculty. Levengood remained at TU for many years thereafter, eventually teaching John.
Forrest has continued to follow in the footsteps of
both his father, Dr. Herbert J. Forrest (BA ‘42), and his
cousin, C.D. Forrest, who served on the TU Board of
Trustees. But on Saturday, September 24, 2005, John will
make his own footprints across Skelly field when he’s honored as a 2005 TU Distinguished Alumnus.
After making his mark as a leader on the TU campus,
Forrest went on to medical school at the University of
Oklahoma, graduating in 1972. He completed his residency at the University of Virginia and was an American
Cancer Society Fellow at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Institute in New York before returning to Tulsa to
practice urologic oncology.
While a resident at the University of Virginia Hospital
in Charlottesville, Forrest developed an interest in patients
14
who were in almost constant pain from interstitial cystitis
(IC), a chronic inflammation of the bladder that affects
both men and women.
“Twenty years ago, IC was a ‘closet disease’, one not
readily diagnosed,” he says. “Now, when IC is diagnosed at
an early stage, we can alleviate the symptoms.”
He’s now on the leading edge of research into the
causes and cure for IC, playing an integral part in reducing
suffering for IC patients. His expertise in IC and prestige
in the field of medicine have carried him across the nation
speaking to the National Institute of Health and the
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Disease in Alexandria, Virginia, as well as around the globe
in Montreal, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland.
He recently completed his term as chief of staff at
St. John Medical Center and will serve as president of
the South Central Section of the American Urologic
Association in 2007, all in addition to maintaining a successful private practice with the 16-member (soon to be
18) Urologic Specialists of Oklahoma Inc.
Forrest’s knowledge is sought after in Grand Rounds
where he discusses interesting cases with other physicians
and medical students around the United States, including Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, California;
Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio; and the University of Texas
Southwestern Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology, in
Dallas. As an associate professor of surgery/urology at
the OU Health Sciences Center in Tulsa; a panelist and
speaker at numerous conferences; and a published writer
in a plethora of medical journals and conference papers,
Forrest continues to give back to the medical community.
He has served on the TU Board of Trustees, on the
Alumni Association Board of Directors and as president of
the Golden Hurricane Club.
Forrest and his wife, Cheryl (BS ’74), are enthusiastic
Tulsans and strong supporters of the University as longtime donors and members of TU’s Circle Society.
“When it came down to it, Cheryl and I both felt a
very strong pull to be with family and community,” Forrest
says of their decision to forgo job offerings at prestigious
institutions such as Cornell and Yale and return to Tulsa.
The Forrests have two children, Bennett, who graduated
from Westminster College in Missouri, and Stephanie, a
student at Texas Christian University.

Jim
McGill
I
n 1961, Jim McGill (BS ’65) drew a picture on a sheet
of notebook paper that has stayed with him for 40 years.
The same piece of paper hung above his desk at his first job,
the environmental firm he started in 1970, through several
venture companies he’s invested in since his first retirement
in 1987, and it’s now with him at Anyware Mobile Solutions
— the company he came out of retirement to run in 2002.
What is illustrated on that piece of paper goes beyond
inspiration; it’s a reflection of McGill. But before you can see
what McGill drew, you have to know his story.
Growing up in a worker’s camp just northeast of
Tulsa, built by the factory next door, McGill attended
a one-room grade school accommodating six grades. In
the 1950s, a minimum standard law for teachers passed.
McGill’s school was consolidated into East Central High
School, one red-brick building for first through twelfth
grades from which McGill graduated.
He received a limited education from the small school
house, but he graduated with a football scholarship and college was within grasp, until he hurt his knee. The injury left
him with two options: join the Army or work full time to pay
for a college education. At his mother’s prompting, McGill’s
next stop was The University of Tulsa admission office.
“Neither one of my parents made it past the 10th grade,”
he said. “My mother primarily wanted all her kids to have
college degrees. She believed that if you work hard, obey the
law and get a good education you can be anything you want
to be.”
Being a full-time employee at a stone quarry and a fulltime student at TU didn’t leave McGill much time for anything else, including time to eat or play. During his four years
at TU, he lost 40 pounds, attended one basketball game, one
football game and walked away with only a handful of friends.
McGill, however, was there for the education. And it paid
off. He went from being told in his first year that he had little
hope of earning a passing grade in calculus to graduating second in his class with a chemical engineering degree.
“My feeling was if I didn’t make it through that course,
I wasn’t going to make it at all,” he said. “I realized that if I
could make it through the first semester, I could make it.”
What McGill drew on a single sheet of notebook
paper his freshmen year reflected his fear at the time; now
the reflection is of his courage. It’s a picture of a man who
appears to be melting under a massive weight he’s
16
holding up.
But it didn’t turn out to be a picture of McGill.
The man who came to TU with two pairs of Levi’s,
two shirts and a pair of cowboy boots went on to join
Dresser Engineering in Tulsa. He was soon managing a
natural gas processing plant construction project in Texas
with 600 employees. After five years on the job, he saw
an opportunity designing equipment to meet new federal
laws to reduce air and water pollution. He left Dresser
to develop his ideas in 1970, the same year he was called
upon by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to
help draft the new agency’s regulations, and started his
own company, McGill Environmental Systems. Four years
later he received the first of 25 U.S. and foreign patents
awarded him through 1985. In a span of five years, his
company went from revenues of less than $1 million to an
excess of $30 million.
McGill sold his company in 1986 and retired — in
his own way. Since then, he’s been a part of starting
several other businesses like SciFit, a fitness equipment
company, and ProShot Golf, which uses global positioning technology to give players precise distances to the
next hole. His most recent investment called him out of
retirement in 2002 to run Anyware Mobile Solutions, a
mobile software provider.
His many professional accomplishments will be
recognized by The University of Tulsa family during
Homecoming 2005.
McGill now sits on TU’s Board of Trustees and chairs
the Technology Transfer Committee, providing leadership
and funding scholarships for the benefit of present and
future students alike.
“If there had not been a college in Tulsa, I would have
joined the Army,” McGill said. “And if people hadn’t been
there to provide scholarships, build buildings, teach classes
— I wouldn’t have been able to go to college.”
His support of TU goes beyond gratitude for the education and prestige he received as a graduate. For McGill,
TU opened his eyes to an inner hunger for a world of
which he was unaware — a world of asking questions, coveting knowledge and developing solutions.
As for McGill’s drawing, he keeps it around knowing
that if he didn’t melt then, he never will.

Judge
Charles Owens
O
nly a handful of lawyers will ever get the
opportunity to argue a case before the United States
Supreme Court. Of that handful, very few will argue a case
that results in a changed interpretation of the Constitution
affecting the rest of the country. In this select few is where
you’ll find the first appointed African American judge in
Oklahoma and 2005 TU Distinguished Alumnus, the
Honorable Charles Owens (JD ’60).
From a segregated class at Booker T. Washington High
School in Tulsa, Owens was the first in his family to graduate from college. He studied business at Lincoln University
in Jefferson City, Missouri, graduating with a BS in 1952.
His interest in law developed in college and grew during his two years of service in the military, leading him to
return to Tulsa and join the city’s police department.
The mere accomplishment of overcoming prejudice
and racism to attend and graduate from college, during
a time when there was no shortage of either, gives the
impression of Owens as a man on a mission. But at the
time, Owens’ mission was unbeknown even to him. He
attributes his determination and drive to his parents and
upbringing.
“I sort of felt that I was destined for something,”
Owens said. “But I didn’t know what or if. Even though I
did have opportunities that my Mom and Dad didn’t have,
it was still very segregated in Tulsa. And I somehow wanted
to overcome that.”
Owens didn’t just overcome; he overthrew. While
Owens worked the graveyard shift as a police officer, he
took classes from The University of Tulsa Law School during the evening.
“I was always fascinated with law and the ability of law
to change things,” he said.
For four years, Owens studied and attended classes
during the evening, worked the 11 p.m. – 7 a.m. shift on
the force, came home to tell his wife, Edythe, good-bye as
she headed to her job as a teacher, slept a few hours and
returned to the law school library to prepare for his next
class.
In 1963, Owens went to work as assistant attorney general to then Oklahoma Attorney General Charles Nesbitt.
Nesbitt’s admiration for Owens’ legal abilities carried over
to the next elected attorney general, G.T. Blankenship, who
asked Owens to stay on for his term. But after two years
with Blankenship, Owens received an appointment of his
18
own; an appointment coveted by any lawyer and, until Owens,
unknown to any black lawyer in Oklahoma — he became the
first African American to sit on the state’s district court bench.
When such a monumental event occurs in one’s life,
sometimes there just aren’t strong enough words — it’s a feeling. For Owens, a “very memorable” feeling.
But memorable experiences aren’t uncommon for Owens.
When you become a lawyer, dreams of arguing in front
of the Supreme Court may fill your head, but those dreams
are seldom realized. But, realized, reached and rewarded were
those dreams for Owens.
“To orally argue a case in front of the Supreme Court is
rather unique,” Owens said.
In 30 minutes, standing before the only court with the
power to change the law, Owens, assistant attorney general
at the time, argued his case and got the result he sought. The
court ruled against Owens, but when a new law was established in that area; Owens saw the fruit of his labor.
As a judge, Owens presided over several high-profile cases,
including State v. Roger Dale Stafford, which was the first and
only case to ever be televised from Oklahoma.
Owens may be retired, but his desire to make a difference
isn’t. Inspired by his daughter, Melanie, who was born blind,
Owens serves as president of the board for the Oklahoma
Foundation for the Disabled.
“I’m very proud of her and all her accomplishments,”
Owens said.
That same pride is also felt by Owens for his son, Charles
Jr., who followed in his father’s footsteps by working in the
law enforcement industry. And, for his wife of almost 49 years,
Owens has the highest respect and appreciation.
Owens belongs to several elite classes — a class of people
who can say they were the first: the first class of alumni to
be inducted into the Booker T. Washington Hall of Fame,
a class of Lifetime Achievement Award recipients from The
University of Tulsa Law School, a class of Lincoln University
recognized alumni, and now he joins the class of Distinguished
Alumni from The University of Tulsa.
“It really means a great deal to me,” he said in reference
to his selection as a Distinguished Alumnus. “It took a while
for it to sink in — that an entire university would name me as
a Distinguished Alumnus out of all the alumni. That’s quite a
singular accomplishment in my mind.”
Fittingly, Owens is known for his singularity.

Charles
Norman
Earl
Johnson
J. Paschal T wyman Award
I
A
wealth of emotions are felt on a college football field — from
the anxiety and anticipation of the game to the joy of victory or
sadness of defeat. For a college student athlete, it’s an emotion,
a game and a time in your life that will never be forgotten. On
Saturday, September 24, Earl Johnson will feel a new emotion on
the Skelly Stadium football field, where he experienced so many
during his four years as a Golden Hurricane, when he walks into
the stadium as Mr. Homecoming 2005.
“I know the caliber of people I’m surrounded by at this university, and for me to be singled out among some of the people who
helped fashion the person I am today is a truly humbling, yet very
rewarding experience,” Johnson said.
The fact that Johnson (BFA ’89) has been a part of The
University of Tulsa family through his undergraduate studies and
college football career to his current position as the senior associate
dean of admission, makes this honor 19 years in the making.
Upon his high school graduation, universities in Texas,
Nebraska and Oklahoma were offering Johnson football scholarships. But Johnson was looking for more than just a field to play on.
Johnson came to TU, and devoted just as much of himself to
his studies as he did to his football career. A brief career with the
Pittsburg Steelers in the National Football League was cut short
when he sustained a torn quadriceps muscle. This led him back to
Tulsa.
Johnson looked at his injury as a sign that there was something
else he was meant to do. He was right.
Today, Johnson is widely recognized as one of the Southwest’s
leading admission professionals, touching the lives of thousands of
students. He alone is responsible for several hundred students coming to TU over the past 15 years.
He’s the 2005 Southwest Region chair of the Collegeboard,
a non-profit organization that administers the SAT, PSAT/
NMSQT®, and the Advanced Placement Program®(AP); faculty member of the Texas Association for College Admission
Counseling Summer Institute for College Admission Professionals;
faculty member for the NCAA Coaches Academy in Indianapolis,
Indiana; member of TU’s inaugural Quality Service Council; and
a recipient of the Service That Achieves Results (STAR) award for
service to the University.
But his most recent accomplishment was recruiting a very special person to join the TU family — his daughter, Ashley.
Finding his passion, fulfilling his purpose and helping others are the values Johnson lives by, the strengths he brings to the
University and the ideals he strives to pass along to others. As
Johnson steps onto the field as Mr. Homecoming 2005, his emotions — and the esteem he’s garnered from the University — will
be running high.
t’s fitting that attorney Charles Norman is recipient of the
2005 J. Paschal Twyman award for “outstanding leadership and
service far beyond the call of duty” to The University of Tulsa.
Norman and the late TU president Paschal Twyman were
friends and associates for many years, beginning in 1965 when
Norman first became involved with the University. At that
time, Twyman was vice president, and the two men worked
together to forge the future of the institution.
Norman says it’s a “special honor to receive an award
named for such a good friend and great president of the
University.”
When the Norman’s youngest daughter, Amy, began taking language classes at TU’s speech and hearing department,
a strong relationship with TU began. It led to Norman and
his wife, Barbara, working closely with Twyman, along with
others, to build the clinical service into today’s Department of
Communication Disorders — a university prized community
service program.
Amy went on to earn a master’s degree and is a librarian at
Tulsa Community College.
Norman has been a practicing attorney in Tulsa since 1953,
when he was only 22. He was named assistant city attorney in
1956, then city attorney from 1959 to 1968.
From the beginning of his TU Board of Trustee service 18
years ago, Norman has played critical roles as counselor, negotiator and diplomat for property acquisitions, city negotiations,
and neighborhood meetings.
Additional legacies the Normans have created include the
Norman-Hicks Scholarship fund and the Charles Norman
Award for Greek/Latin Composition. They have generously
participated in University programs such as the Annual Fund
for Excellence, Golden Hurricane Club, and McFarlin Fellows
Program for Special Collections.
Legacy is a word synonymous with the 74-year-old
Norman, a partner and founding member of the Norman,
Wohlgemuth, Chandler and Dowdell law firm, who also enjoys
fishing, bird hunting and flying gliders.
Associate Burt Holmes notes that Norman played a critical
role in moving TU from a highly-regarded local institution to a
nationally ranked university among the top 100 in the country.
Norman’s participation included “redefining TU’s campus
boundaries with an expansion encompassing more than 30
acres and 250 properties.”
Now that’s a legacy “far beyond the call of duty.”

The University of Tulsa is one
of the nation’s “best value” undergraduate institutions according to The
Princeton Review. The New Yorkbased education
services company
chose TU as one
of 81 schools it
recommends in
the new 2006 edition of the book
America’s Best Value
Colleges.
Schools were
selected based
on data the
company obtained from administrators at more than 350 colleges and
surveys of students attending them.
Steadman Upham, president of
TU, said, “More than 30 factors in
four categories are used to rate the
colleges. These include academics,
tuition, financial aid and student
borrowing. The bottom line is that
TU performs exceptionally well and
is included as one of the 81 colleges
selected nationwide. We know we
provide value and academic excellence. Now the rest of the country
will know that also.”
