Edward Cohen Remains True to His Roots

or those of us who have ever felt like outsiders, Edward Cohen's critically acclaimed memoir, The Peddler's Grandson: Growing Up Jewish in Mississippi, conveys not only his story, but ours as well.

Cohen (A.B. '71) and his family were one of only a few Jews in Jackson, Mississippi, the result of his grandfather's journey from Romania in 1889. Growing up in the "vast divide between Southerners and Jews" gave Cohen a unique and, at times, puzzling sense of identity, which he relates with warmth and humor in his book.

Cohen had first written about his Southern-Jewish experience in an article for the Smithsonian, which led to a book contract with University Press of Mississippi.

Cohen completed the book in a year. For him, it was a way of giving new life to cherished family members. "The Jewish idea of immortality is that you live on in the hearts of those who love and remember you," he says. "I felt that by writing about these relatives, I was loving and remembering them, and in a sense, bringing them back to life. That was very rewarding."

Among the experiences Cohen recalls are his days at the University of Miami. Thinking he would at last feel at home among other Jewish students, Cohen first felt alienated. "I found to my amazement that these Jews were different from me," he recalls. "They were all from New York. They were savvy, hip kids, and I was this slow-talking Southern boy."

But Cohen did assimilate and focused on screenwriting in the mass communication program. "It gave me my first job at Mississippi Educational Television," he says.

There, Cohen wrote several award-winning projects. Later, he earned a law degree and briefly practiced law, but returned to his real love, writing. Eventually, he and his wife and writing partner, Kathy, moved to Venice, California, to work near the film industry.

But a Southerner he'll always be. "My Southern roots have become very apparent to me, just as my Jewish roots are," Cohen says. "I wouldn't be whole without either one of them."

Sonia Fuentes Has Come a Long Way

magine having changed the course of history. Sonia Pressman Fuentes (LL.B. '57), one of the founders of the National Organization for Women (NOW) along with Betty Friedan and others, actually did.

Fuentes relates her historic role in the women's movement in a humorous, inspiring memoir, Eat First--You Don't Know What They'll Give You. Subtitled The Adventures of an Immigrant Family and Their Feminist Daughter, the book tells of Fuentes' journey, after escaping from the Holocaust at age five with her family, through her education and pioneering legal career. Along the way, she became the first woman attorney in the Office of the General Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the highest-paid woman at the headquarters of two multinational corporations.

Fuentes did not follow the typical path of women in the 1950s and 1960s. Her parents, like most people of their time, believed women should marry and have families. Instead, Fuentes attended Cornell University and the University of Miami School of Law, where she graduated first in her class.

Fuentes credits law professor Minnette Massey (B.B.A. '48, LL.B. '51, M.A. '52) with putting her on the right career track. Massey arranged for Fuentes to interview with the U.S. Department of Labor. As a result, she was hired by the federal government and moved to Washington, D.C.

The rest, literally, is history, and Fuentes' book is filled with anecdotes of her personal and professional struggles. Her story could have been told in anger or bitterness, but that's not Fuentes' personal, or literary, style. "It's my way of looking at life," she says. "My life wasn't funny. I just tell it that way."

Today "retired," Fuentes divides her time between Potomac, Maryland, and Sarasota, Florida, and is in demand as a public speaker.

Does Fuentes have advice for women today? "I don't have separate advice for women," she says. "My advice for anybody is, if you're lucky and you can find a cause bigger than yourself that will make your life meaningful, do it. It's wonderful if you're caught up in something larger than your own little life."

She should know.

Sam Ballam Rides the Waves of Success

hough he is a principal in a major investment firm that manages billions, Sam Ballam (B.B.A. '72) doesn't wake at 5 a.m. to read the paper or check stock quotes. The only competition he'll be getting a jump start on is vying for waves with other surfers at the Jersey shore.

After "hanging ten" all morning, Ballam will drive back to Philadelphia, stoked to take on the day in his office at Cooke & Bieler.

Ballam's passion for surfing blossomed throughout his teens, as did his head for finance; his summer earnings scored him a trip to surf and sightsee in Hawaii at age 17--by himself.

He admits he was "a pretty mature kid"--ironic to those who believe he acts like an adolescent. But Ballam says, "not so"--he does not surf solely alongside long-haired teenagers but also among the current boom of surfers--middle-aged men who have returned to the sport.

"You're born a surfer," says Ballam, "and if it's in your blood, then it never leaves you."

After earning his B.B.A. cum laude from the University of Miami, two years later, when his fellow M.B.A. graduates from Northwestern University were interviewing in Chicago and on Wall Street, Ballam by design landed a corporate financial position in Hawaii.

Upon returning to the East Coast five years later, Ballam's surfing waned due to the demands of career and family. Still, he weaves his favorite activity into California business trips, family vacations, and even days at the office. When he's not dreaming of catching the perfect wave, Ballam actively serves as an ambassador for the University as an Alumni Association director and President's Council member.

He also serves as chairman of the Philadelphia chapter of the President's Circle and lends his support to the University, the Hurricane Club, and two campus ministries. His office is full of University plaques, awards, and paraphernalia--a testament to his involvement and commitment to his alma mater.

"On a fan scale of one to ten, I am a ten," says Ballam, who avidly follows Hurricane teams and attends games. "My two primary surfboards are green and orange."

Music Means the World to Larry Steen

learly a product of his environment, jazz bassist Larry Steen (B.M. '88) was raised in a family of musicians who instilled in him a strong love for music. As great appreciators and supporters of the arts, Steen's parents exposed him to a rich variety of sounds by frequently taking him to cultural music events and on trips around the world.

His debut CD, aptly titled First Move, is a mix of creative, world fusion music that blends funk and classical influences with rhythms of Brazil, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, and West Africa. Steen says his work draws upon his life experiences, attributing his intense passion and skill to his unique upbringing and education.

After attending the Berklee College of Music for two years, Steen joined the University of Miami's Department of Studio Music and Jazz, where he graduated magna cum laude in 1988. Though he had been writing songs since he was 14 years old, he claims his ability to compose was greatly enhanced while at the University.

"UM absolutely helped prepare me for where I am today. Its very disciplined learning environment gave me all the necessary tools for being a well-rounded musician," says Steen. "I especially appreciated and benefited from the one-on-one attention at UM. While some music schools can feel like factories where you can get lost in the crowd, University of Miami faculty were always very helpful and accessible."

He claims that soaking up the many different cultures in Miami also contributed to his affinity for world music, a melding which jazz is naturally progressing toward.

Steen's next venture will be another world jazz CD through which he hopes to showcase his band, the Larry Steen World Jazz Ensemble. But being rich and famous are not his ultimate goals.

"Music and the arts are crucial for bringing people together," says Steen, who lives in Los Angeles. "My aim is to enhance the interconnection and spirituality of humanity via the music experience. If I can't do that, I'd just like to just play artistic music that uplifts people in some way."
