Chester Wickwire : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chester Wickwire Chester "Chet" L. Wickwire (December 11, 1913 – August 31, 2008) was chaplain emeritus of the Johns Hopkins University. He was a prominent fighter for civil rights and an international peace activist. Reverend Wickwire was remembered as a "consummate humanist" after his death.〔http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/obituaries/bal-te.md.ob.wickwiresep02,0,3929129.story?trackrss〕 ==Personal life and education== Wickwire was born in Nebraska but was raised in rural Colorado where he received a religious upbringing as a Seventh-day Adventist. He received his B.A. from Union College in Lincoln, Neb. During the 1940s he earned the first of two degrees (B.D and Ph.D) from the Yale Divinity School. While at Yale, he contracted poliomyelitis, which resulted in a thirteen-month stay in a local pauper's hospital; "an experience which he credited as providing him with a broader perspective on the world."〔http://csc.jhu.edu/OLD/reflections_wickwire.html〕 Despite his need for crutches afterwards, "Chet the Jet" earned his moniker with his boundless energy.〔http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.fraser07nov07,0,5315593.column〕 He was ordained in the United Church of Christ. He was married to Mary Ann Wickwire for 71 years until his death.〔Chester Wickwire. Longs Peak. Chestnut Hill Press, Baltimore. 1998. ISBN 0-932616-66-6〕 Dr. Wickwire was also an avid poet〔Dougald Macdonald. Longs Peak: The Story Of Colorado's Favorite Fourteener. Westcliffe Publishers. 2004. p.60. ISBN 978-1-56579-497-9〕 with two published collections. His memorial service was attended by numerous community leaders and former U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes. Sen. Barbara Mikulski wrote a remembrance for the occasion.
