My son, Adam, got tickets and invited me to a U2 concert at the Forum Wednesday night. Bono and crew were terrific. Great staging and video graphics complemented the music perfectly. “Sunday Bloody Sunday” alone was worth the price of admission. We went with my daughter, Cara, and nephew Tim Ryan. He brought a friend David Smith who just happened to be the father of Chapman grad and student Taryn and Robyn Smith. I also bumped into two other Chapman grads: Noah McMahon and Andrea Torres. Quite an evening! JLD

The award-winning documentary, The Legacy of Heart Mountain, is about Japanese American Internment during World War II and will be shown Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. in Memorial Hall. After World War II, some universities did not admit Japanese Americans. Chapman University on the other hand, accepted this population, including Toshi Ito, who came to Chapman after leaving Heart Mountain internment camp, and received her B.A. in sociology in 1946. Toshi is featured in this film and will be part of a panel following the screening. You don't want to miss this event!
