Shelley Diamond

Shelley Diamond (Phil) served as artist-in-residence for the U.S. Forest Service, San Gabriel Mountains, which spans a huge region between Los Angeles and the Mojave. She wrote, “My project had to serve the community and environment I was privileged to live in. My home was a big 1920s lodge. The Forest Service was there during the daytime, I was alone at night. This lent some Shining pizazz to the week I teach at L.A.’s Juvenile Hall — the San Gabriels are visible from the yard. Students considered my lesson: Photography to prompt reflections about this ‘alien’ place. Challenged: Why would we ever go there? Eventually sugar pines and wildflowers cast their spell. They got it, and flew outside the walls.” Fremont, Calif., resident George Whaley (PhDBus) is co-editor of the Society for Case Research’s Business Case Journal. George is an emeritus professor of human resource management for San Jose State University’s management school.
