Born in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 5, 1950, Mike attended Fort Worth public schools. Mike entered the University of Texas at Austin in 1968 and graduated in 1972 with a degree in Radio, Television, and Film. Although he moved briefly to Corpus Christi in 1972-73, he returned to live in the easy pace of South Austin. Mike's life was marked by a devotion to absurdist humor. As a founding member of the Tomato Hubris for Wit and Wisdom, Mike participated in the planning and staging of numerous satirical public theater events in the late 1960s.

Mike was a contributing writer to The Salamander Weekly and to Eg-groll, both locally published periodicals dealing with the absurdities of life with a Dadaist joie de vivre. In the early 1970s, Mike and his friends wrote, produced, and recorded "The Brother Heumann Show," a series of radio programs broadcast on radio station XEG from Coahuila, Mexico. Mike contributed to the Austin political scene by assisting in the city council campaign of his friend, Paul Spragens, whose platform included transforming the Austin Police Department into a free municipal taxi service. As Associate Director of Austin City Limits, as well as one of the program's original camera operators, Mike combined his love of traditional music and his unequaled skill in operating a television studio camera. Mike loved the outdoors, and traveled throughout the American West with his friends.

An ardent environmentalist and supporter of causes benefitting humanity and nature, Mike gave generous support to programs relieving hunger and restoring America's wilderness places. When cancer became a factor in his life's challenges, he faced it with dignity and with his typical foresight and planning. Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Helen Archenhold. He is survived by his father, R.C. Archenhold of Fort Worth; his brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Susan Archenhold of Fort Worth; his brother, Ralph Archenhold of Portland, Oregon; and many cousins, including his beloved Bertha and Sam Shanblum, Lynda Shanblum, Laurie Shanblum Robinson and Ron Marks of Austin, Texas.

He is also survived by his cat, Lulu, the St. Louis Cardinals, and countless friends. Heartfelt thanks are given to his friend and primary caregiver, Barbara Baskin, who cared for him in his last months of life. Grateful appreciation for Jon Narum's abiding friendship and return to Austin to be present for Mike. Thanks to Jackie Kleid for her support and daily attention and thanks to Darla, Sandy, and Rosie of Hospice Austin.

Mike's family, friends, and colleagues are left with a deep sense of loss and profound regret for the passing of one so widely admired, respected and loved. At Mike's request, no funeral or memorial service will be held. His friends will gather to celebrate his life and recount stories of Mike and his many kindnesses at Mercury Hall, 615 Cardinal Lane at South First Street (map at www.mercuryhall.com) in Austin on Sunday, November 21, 1999, at 2:00 p.m. Mike asked that any charitable donations in his memory be made to the Austin-Travis County Animal Services at 1 156 West Cesar Chavez, Austin, Texas 78703.

Congress 115 326-5878 Cttti 326-3022 for recorded information UT is planning a lecture to let folks know the latest about the extinct animals By Sharon Jayson American-Statesman Staff Hypothesis: Dinosaurs are popular. Procedure: Use the public fascination with those prehistoric creatures, add a slide show from a University of Texas professor and open up the state's collection of dinosaur bones and fossils after-hours.

Conclusion: Parents and children learn about the extinct beings, and teachers take home a new CD-ROM to help them in their classrooms. The experiment is the UT department of geological sciences' new free lecture series, which aims to lure everyday folks onto campus for an informative and entertaining Friday night. After the talk, there's a reception with refreshments at Texas Memorial Museum, where dinosaur displays abound. "It's for the public, but it's not something aimed at little kids. It's not a puppet show.

It's not Barney," said Tim Rowe, the UT professor whose presentation Friday will delve into why dinosaurs may or may not be extinct. Rowe says some people believe that an asteroid impact wiped out dinosaurs 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Others contend that birds are descendants of dinosaurs. During his slide show at the Geology Building, Rowe will take a look at those theories and more. But the talk won't be too highbrow either, with an expected audience range from elementary age to college and beyond.

Those who teach kindergarten through high school science in the Austin school district may receive professional development credit for attending and will take home a CD-ROM to adapt the presentation to whatever grade levels they teach. "The idea is to raise the teachers' content knowledge and make sure they're aware of this vat of the most recent research," said Mary Walker, who supervises science and health programs for the Austin district. Walker said teachers have continually requested ways to learn about scientific research. At the same time, the UT geological sciences department and officials with Texas Memorial Museum have been trying to figure out how to get the public more interested in what they're doing. "Dinosaurs are popular, and in some places we're referred to as the 'dinosaur said Ed Theriot, museum director.

Monday, Manchaca United Capt Jesse D. Stallings, (Ret) Capt. Jesse D. Stallings, (Ret), of Buda, Texas, passed away the morning of Tuesday, November 16, 1999, at his residence in Buda, Texas. He was 85 years old.

J. D. Stallings joined the Texas National Guard while he was still in high school ROTC in 1931. He learned to ride a horse early and was competing in rodeos by age nine. J.D.

won a national rodeo title in Cheyenne, Wyoming, as a teenager, and used his talents for stunt work in numerous movies. When he joined the 112th Cavalry Regiment in 1931, he believed he had joined the best group of fighting men in the world. He made many lifelongfriends from its ranks and he never forgot his fellow soldiers who never made it back home. When the Texas National Guard was mobilized in 1940, J.D. was sent to OCS and received his commission as 2nd Lt.

He was stationed at Fort Clark, Texas, when the United States declared war in 1941. He spent the war years in the South Pacific and received a field promotion to Captain from General Krueger. The 112thCavalrywasaveryhighlyregarded Regimental Combat Team in the Pacific Theater. They fought the war from New Caledonia, Woodlark, New Guinea to Luzon in the Philippines. J.D.

received several citations for bravery including the Bronze Star, Combat Infantry Badge and the Purple Heart from wounds he suffered during the Battle of New Britain he led a patrol behind enemy lines to wipe out a machine gun nest of Japanese. He was wounded by a land mine and was in the hospital for several months. He rejoined the 112th Cavalry and stayed with them through Luzon. He was rotated home in June of 1945. He married Toinette (Toni) Heffington on the 25th of July, 1945.

J.D. and Toni were married for 54 years. They raised two daughters, Sherry and Melissa, and two sons, Michael and Robin; all four are self-employed business people and share their father's commitment for public service. J. D.

and Toni have seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Names of children are as follows: sonin-law and daughter, Cole and Sherry Smith, of Dallas; son, Michael Stallings, of Dallas; son-in-law and daughter, Phillip and Melissa Judah, of Austin; and son, Robin Stallings, of Austin, (grandchildren and great-grandchildren reside in Austin and Dallas). After World War II and many stays in the hospital he was retired from the U.S. Army on 100 disability in 1947. However, in spite of his health problems he did not slow down.

He built a career working for defense contractors, and J.D. made the leap from horses to main frame computers and fighter planes' counter measures. He specialized in logistics engineering. His work took him to meetings at the Pentagon and Europe to meet with officials in the NATO countries. He served as president of the Society of Logistics Engineers.

He retired from Tracor in 1989. In 1979, J.D. and Toni bought a small ranch in Hays County and raised horses and exotic sheep. He particularly enjoyed the wild mustangs that he adopted and trained. He made many friends among his neighbors and snared his knowledge and love of horses with many of them.

J.D. helped organize the 112th Cavalry Association in Dallas, Texas. The 112th just held their 52nd annual reunion in August 1999. J.D. served as president and other leadership positions in the 112th Cavalry Association.

J.D. and Herb Campbell (deceased) were the catalysts for establishing the 112th Cavalry Association Museum in Dallas. In the 1950's they started accumulating artifacts and by 1993 the collection outgrew its display space. The Texas Military Forces Museum (TMFM) agreed to take the collection and with J.D.'s help made room for the 112th Cavalry display. From 1993 until March of 1999 he worked as a full time volunteer at the TMFM.

J.D. helped train the do-cents (many retired military, their wives and widows) and sought out new artifacts to build the TMFM collections. When the State revealed plans to sell the Camp Mabry property to developers, he organized a successful campaign to the Governor and the State Legislature to save Camp Mabry in 1994-95. He was elected president of the TMFM in 1998. He worked hard to make the museum something of which present and future generations would be proud.

J.D. Stallings was a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Visitation with the family will be at Restland Funeral Home in Dallas, Texas, between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. at the funeral home on Wednesday, November 17, 1999.

"Geology was looking for a way to inspire geological teaching in area schools, and we're very much trying to increase our exposure." Jay Banner, the associate professor who organized the series, said UT research should be shared with more than just the university's own community. "After all, it's taxpayer dollars that fund this research, and ostensibly all this research is done for the long-term benefit of the community," Banner said. "So I got to thinking: Is there some way we could do this more efficiently and reach more people at once? Why don't we bring everyone here and show the things that go on in the department." Visitors for each of the sessions may view displays of gems, fossils and meteorites in the Geology Building. And for this first dinosaur program, they also may watch researchers use an industrial scanner to get an internal look at skulls and dinosaur eggs that are millions of years old.
