You might think it’s a long way from Appian Way to Hollywood, but the distance got a lot shorter last month when Film Studies Professor Emeritus Larry Benaquist traveled with KSC Sr. Major Gift Officer Sean Gillery ’89 to reconnect with film studies alums in California. Dr. Benaquist got to see what several of his successful students had done with their degrees, and the duo got tours of the fabled Warner Bros. lot and Dreamworks studios.

  1. I feel honored to be able to attend, as a senior citizen, a class taught by Dr. Larry. I am impressed with the support he offers his students. I believe they recognize they are privileged to attend one of the last classes our professor will be teaching. I am still learning at the age of 77. I am happy to hear about the successful Keene State graduates. Dr. Larry is modest about his accomplishments. He is a great teacher! Jean Maples
    PS–I’m still so into james Dean!!!
