Luminary: Thomas DeWolf

Thomas Norman DeWolf was born and raised in Pomona, California. In 1972, he moved to Eugene, Oregon to attend college. He graduated in 1978 with degrees from both Northwest Christian College and the University of Oregon.

After graduation, Tom moved to Bend, in Central Oregon, where he owned and managed movie theatres and a family video business. He served on the Bend City Council from 1993-96, and on the Deschutes County Commission from 1999-2005. Oregon’s governor appointed Tom to serve on the Oregon Arts Commission from 1996-2005. From 1995 until 2004, he served as chair of the Tower Theatre Foundation, which successfully raised $4.2 million to renovate a historic downtown theatre that is now Central Oregon’s “center stage” for local and international performances.

Tom began writing Inheriting the Trade in 2001, during the summer in which he joined Katrina Browne and eight distant cousins on their life-altering journey to Rhode Island, Ghana, and Cuba, to make the film Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North. He has been writing full time since 2005. Tom and his wife, Lindi, live in Oregon. They have four grown children and three grandchildren.

I'm sorry I had to delete my post. I put my email address near the bottom. Suddenly, I realized a search engine might have it. Being a fairly private person, I didn't want the whole world to have access to the things I had written. The engine did grab it.

Hurricane Dolly came to Texas yesterday.

Storms can be very scary, with all that wild wind, rain, lightning, thunder, and destruction. Weather storms serve to wake us up to the reality that there is something bigger than us human beings, and our little endless list of needs, wants and desires.

Thomas DeWolf
Belvie Rooks and Thomas DeWolf will discuss Inheriting the Trade, his trail-blazing memoir about his family's quest to face its slave-trading past and an urgent call for reconciliation. From 1769 to 1820, DeWolf fathers, sons and grandsons trafficked in human beings. They sailed their ships from Bristol, Rhode Island to West Africa with rum to trade for African men, women and children. Captives were taken to plantations that the DeWolfs owned in Cuba or were sold at auction in such ports as Havana and Charleston. Over the generations, the family owned 47 ships that transported thousands of Africans across the Middle Passage into slavery. They were the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history.

GaiaStar Room

Hosted by Brooks Cole
05.31.06

Note from artists Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd: In 1998, artists Bonnie Bell and David Todd began to meditate on the emergence of global being. When we see ourselves as human-spirit cells in a conscious, living world, how does that change our awareness and our bodies? Out of this meditation, we created a series of 64 images and text called The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned-on World. In this slide show you’ll read phrases from the Codex mixed with mandalas and goddess icons from the Codex and some of our other visual series.
