Betsy Mulligan-Dague

March 25, 2018 by johnnoltner

Betsy Mulligan-Dague runs the Jeanette Rankin Peace Center in Missoula, Montana. She is also a Harley Davidson rider, a boxer, and an inventor. She believes it is important to explore different perspectives. Together, with Dan Gallagher, they found a way to bridge the divide that can exist between veterans and peace activists. “We have things that bind us together that we can fall back on when we start talking politics, or something else where we diverge in opinion.” We can only […]

Dan Gallagher served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967 and when he returned home, he was met with protests and derision. At first, he couldn’t feel proud of what he had done, or even talk about it, but as time passed, Dan found it useful to discuss his experience.

On February 22, 2006…6 years to the day of his enlistment…he was wounded in an IED attack and lost the vision in his right eye.

Acknowledgement

May 24, 2016 by johnnoltner

This spring my exhibit was at Wilmington College, a Quaker school, and home to the Peace Resource Center. At the core of the PRC’s collection is the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Memorial Collection and I had time to visit with the director Tanya Maus and look through their extensive files. I am a photographer, so I was drawn to the many photos in their archive. There were original photos with hand-written captions on the back and I wondered about the people […]
