PUC Premeired "Chantilly Lace: of J.P. Richardson"

F'UUCCA press release

The premiere of "Chantilly Lace: The True Story of J.P. Richardson" was held Monday, Feb. 23 at The Center at Purdue University Calumet. It was a wonderful event with movie-theater- style popcorn, snacks, and sodas attended by Chancellor Cohen, Dean Dan Dunn, Communication Department Head Dr. Kamalipour, and

cia1 assistance for the project from a Purdue University Calumet Undergraduate Research Grant. At the pre- miere the students, along with Purdue Calumet Associate Professor of Communication Mary Beth O'Connor were presented the Katherine J. Belcher Outstanding StudentFaculty Research Award by Katie's grandparents on behalf of the Wermuth family.

"I am so proud of the stu- dents' accomplishments,"

Undergraduate ~ i s e a r c h Director Dr. Libbie Pelter who all spoke briefly before the documentary was unveiled.

The documentary was produced by students enrolled in the RadiaTV program in Purdue Calumet's Deoartment of Communication and Creative Arts. It is based on the life of J.P. Richardson, who died in a plane crash with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens in 1959. According to Joshua Holmes, co-producer of the documentary, Richardson conmbuted much to music history although little is known about him. Also called "The Big Bopper," Richardson's most famous song is "Chantilly Lace."

The Purdue Calumet stu- dents, some of whom are now graduates, spent more than two years working on the tape. They received finan-

ofessor Mary Beth O'Cor Peter Aranda. Pete Sedrak, Eric

Sera, Josh Holmes and Jason Jeka

said Professor O'Connor, who supervised production of the documentary. "They have worked very hard and m y long hours to produce a fine product that represents our radioltelevision program well."

The students presented a rough cut of the documentary to more than 200 of Richardson's family and friends in Texas on Richardson's birthday, last October. The students were granted an exclusive inter- view with Richardson's widow, Adrianne "Teetsie"

J. P. Richardson "The Big Bopper"

Richardson Wenner, which is included in the documentary. After receiving audience feedback, the students com- pleted the final cut. The doc- umentary is dedicated to Richardson Wenner, who died the week the project was completed.

Students who worked on the documentary include: co- producers Joshua Holmes of Schererville and Erica Ribicki of Highland, direc- torleditor Jason Paul Jeka of Schererville, script writers Eric Alan Sera of Hammond and Peter Arqda of East Chicago, editor Pete Sedrak of Highland, assistant pro- ducer Charity Jaskutis of Hammond, assistant editor Joel Franklin of Munster, camera operators Adam Niebling of Schererville and Andrew Keilman of Hammond, recreation talent Matt Potocki of Dyer, pro- duction assistants Tracy Arends of Scheremille and Chad Early of Lowell and accountant Joshauna Walker of Menillville.

friends of Professor Emerita YJean Staples Chambers helped Hennan Chambers (hus- band) and Lane1 Chambers (son) celebrate what would have been Herman and YJean' fiftieth wedding anniversary. Chambers died on Nov. 12, just shy of her 81st birthday fiom complications due to diabetes. Several groups of speakers were scheduled to speak. And although not one single speaker could keep the "two minute" time limit, no one seemed to notice or mind.

Governor Joseph Keman spoke about the Tribute Representative Visclosky gave to Congress and the audience was provided copies of the Congressional Record. County Commissioner Rudy Clay presented Herman a plaque, acknowledging YJean as 'Teacher Emeritus for Lake County." Mrs. Shirley Thomas, an AKA sister of YJean's, shared what the "dash" in YJean's life meant to her and said, "Rosa Parks ... and Jessie Owens.. . followed YJean's instructions." Dr. ErmaYackel identi- fied her as the Mahiarch of Gary and shared some university sentiments, "I£ you want something done, ask YJean."

Dean Dunn shared some wonder- ful stories and added, "She would raise the bar and bring the best out of her stu- dents. I know of no finer teacher that I've met in my entire life." Among the many sto- ries shared, poems read, and songs sung at the celebration, Corya Channing, along with several PUC students (past and present) per- formed one of YJean's plays for voice and diction. At its conclusion Purdue Cal & You host Steven Haas said,

"You'll never forget how people
