A THENS - A Support the Troops art exhibit created by the mother of a 22-year-old Army corporal stationed in Ramadi, Iraq, is presently on display in the Susan Hensel Design Minneapolis Gallery . in Minn. The installation will make a two-week showing in the Athens area March 420 at the I 6050 Canaanville Road Gallery (formerly the Adleta Galleries). The show will then move on to the Thurman Street Studios in Portland, Ore., in Aprii. The ·original purpose . of the exhibit· was to raise awareness about the war (which · she opposes) ·and encourage Americans to support the troops and vote in. the upcoming election; Gunter-Seymour has created a three-room art exhibit titled "War Games: A Mother's Perspective." The show debuted in Nelsonville Sept. 24-25 and was extended one week because of visitor demand - funded by Hocking College. The classes of hundreds of Hocking College writing and art students visited the exhibit, as did a crew · from Brazil's Global TV, which produced a documentary on swing states' influence on the presidential election. "This ~hibit is dedicated to my son, Dylan, who is bravely serving his country in Iraq; his best friend, who was killed in Iraq in March 2004; and all of the other men and women who have fallen or are. bravely striving to maintain · the ideal of 'Ojleration Iraqi Freedom.' And to each of their loved ones, who wait, terrified ·at home, for their safe return." Gunter-Seymour says. As a single mom, GunterSeymour has had a very' speCial relationship with her son. She is an activist, and she talked with Dylan as he grew up about the Vietnam War and . its high cost in human lives. On his lith birthday' (during the height of the '"G.I. Joe" mania) he told his · mother ,he was going to be a soldier when he grew up. He settled at the time for being a Cub Scout (and she for being one of his den mothers). .

On the other hand, gonzo-style alon'e, given that it has become a way of life, may be enough to rate the posthumous star treatment, although a little distance between star and treatmenters would be appreciated. But there is. something else. "For a generation of American students." The New . York Times writes, "Mr. Thompson made journalism seem like a dangerous, fantastic occupation." This notion is echoed in The Washington Post: "He was a particular hero to journalists, whose terrible secret is that beneath all the globe-hopping and news anchor fame, _they are merely clerks and voyeurs. Thompson ... had the bearing of an adventurer striding out io the very edges of madness and menace." F~ar and loathing. menace. Madne ss and Danger. Fantasy.

A few days after his death, Jonathan's aunt came across what seemed to be a suicide note on Jonathan's computer. It was not dated but was the last file in his school folder.

The trigger, he says, seemed to be schoolwork. He was bright, scoring 1400 on his SAT. He had applied over the Christmas break to several top-end colleges. But he struggled with an almost paralyzing inability to get himself started on projects and reports, a problem that caused frequent clashes with parents and teachers. The week he killed himself, seniors at his high school had a battery of research papers due that would weigh heavily on their grades. Jonathan, his parents discovered the day before he died, had not even started on his history paper on the 1986 Challenger explosion. He would fail the course if he didn't tum it in.
