Mack
He was born
Augenfeld
in Charleston,
South Caro-
lina in 1943 to Dr. Robert
and Frances Augenfeld, but
primarily grew up in New
York.
Mack held an under-
graduate degree from
Adelphi University and an
MBA from NYU. He spent
many years in Gainesville
at the University of Florida
working toward a Doctor-
ate degree while employed
as a respiratory therapist.
His fondest academia
experience was at Univer-
sity of California Berkeley
in the heyday of the early
1960s.
Research was his lifelong
passion. A prominent high-
light of his early career
was successful employ-
ment at the American Mu-
seum of Natural History.
Mack also had a strong
desire for travel. He visited
many far-reaching parts of
the globe, including exten-
sive parts of Asia.
Mack lived in China
and taught Economics and
English.
Mack met and married
his wife Namphet in Thai-
land. They lived there for
several years together prior
to relocating to Oregon to
be near his daughter.
Many will remember his
recent signifi cant con-
tribution and service on
Baker City Council. He is
survived by his devoted
wife Namphet, Baker City,
three children and several
grandchildren.
There will not be a ser-
vice. Online condolences

Parkinson’s journey presentation
to be held at Crossroads
East to West ~ A Parkin-
son’s Journey, Parkinson’s
& Mucuna Community
Event will be held April
25th, 6 p.m. at Crossroads
Art Center 2020 Auburn
Ave, Baker City.
The presentation will
highlight Tanya Denne’s
India Research Trip Video.
The community event
will also highlight two
months of research in India
regarding Parkinson’s dis-
ease and the plant Mucuna
pruriens.
Background for Event
Over the past fi ve years
Tanya Denne, a Baker
graduate, has been re-
searching the Ayurvedic
plant Mucuna pruriens and
its potential to treat Parkin-
son’s Disease.
Her neurological research
pursuit was inspired when
her grandmother passed
from Alzheimer’s disease.
Tanya’s persistence and
dedication to Mucuna
research lead her, and a
team of four, to the roots
of traditional medicine in
southern India.
This video highlights tribal
fi eld work, lab work, and
communication with Indi-
an Parkinson’s researchers,
chemists, ethnobotanists,
professors and physicians.
The purpose of this re-
search was to help bridge
the gap between eastern
and western Parkinson’s
medicine. Her research
was intended to increase
cultural sensitivity and
awareness for the advance-
ment of global medicine.
She will be discussing her
future plans regarding the
Mucuna seeds brought
back from India, and her
upcoming involvement
with the World Parkinson’s
Congress hosted in Port-
land, Oregon September
21-23rd 2016.
EOU to host Lars Larson
Eastern Oregon Univer-
sity students, faculty and
community members are
invited to a free presenta-
tion by talk radio show
host Lars Larson Tuesday,
May 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the
Gilbert Center on campus.
The event is the cap-
stone project of Brittany
Hargrove, a senior media
arts and communication
student at EOU, and is
sponsored by the Union
County Republicans.
Larson is a nationally
known radio host, award-
winning news journalist,
and regular guest on Fox
News and other radio and
television news outlets.
Currently based in Port-
land, he started his media
career at age 16 in Til-
lamook for The Mighty
1590 KTIL, and later
worked for numerous radio
and television stations
such as KPTV and KOIN.
His long-running radio
program, "The Lars Larson
Show," airs in the morning
in the Northwest and in the
late afternoon across the
country.
“I am so excited to bring
a bold speaker like Lars to
campus,” Hargrove said.
“I have been listening to
him with my dad since I
was a tiny girl, so this is
something that I have been
aspiring to do for many
years.”
“As a media arts and
communication student
and an avid political afi -
cionado, I cannot wait to
hear what he has to say,”
Hargrove added. “Conser-
vative, liberal, or inde-
pendent, everyone in the
audience will surely take
something away from Lars'
speech.”
EOU students who
attend can enter a raffl e
for a chance to win a $50
gift card from Amazon or
Safeway donated by Lane
Farms, or a gift certifi cate
for lunch for two donated
by Joe Beans.

grob@eou.edu.
