Magic in the Desert Dan Perry ’62

SELF-PUBLISHED

“Magic in the Desert,” by NMSU journalism alum Dan Perry, celebrates the history of NMSU through the lens of its football team. With a focus on the perfect 1960 football season, celebrated by the larger-than-life photo of All-American Pervis Atkins, the book begins at the start of Aggie football and then recreates Las Cruces and the campus at the end of the 1950s, when New Mexico A&M College became New Mexico State University. The book follows Perry’s college roommates and colleagues at The Round Up student newspaper, Frank Thayer and Mike Waldner, as well as his lifelong close friend, Charlie Rogers. Before he died in 2013, Perry secured the commitment of these three to see the book through to completion. The release of “Magic in the Desert” is the fulfillment of their promise to him.

Walking with Herb: A Spiritual Golfing Journey to the Masters Joe Bullock ’71 IUNIVERSE

Joe Bullock, who earned a Bachelor of Science in agriculture, combines his knowledge of banking and his love of golf to write an inspirational novel that allows the reader to imagine the possibility of competing at the highest level with the help of a little practice, a lot of faith and a golf guru named Herb. In the story, God has decided he is tired of watching people fail to live up to their potential. He selects a very ordinary man – a banker named Joe – to prove that people are far more capable than they believe they are, and calls him to play in the Masters Golf Tournament. Bullock wants to help others live up to their potential and create a stronger bond with God, who is presented as humorous and approachable in “Walking with Herb.”
