장원호 박사, 자서전 <오십달러 미국유학> 펴네!

 

 

피와 땀으로 점철된 유학생활,

 

조국사랑의 50년 역정 담아

 

미국의언론학계는물론한국언론학계와언론계에널리알려진미주리대학교석좌교수(은퇴) 장원호박사가오십달러미국유학제호의자서전을최근펴냈다. 장 박사는 지금까지 수많은 논문, 전문저서, 에세 , 여행기 등을 내놓았었다. 동자서전은그의피와땀으로점철된유학기와재미언론학교수로서조국에대한사랑과희노애락의삶, 50 년의 역정을 비교적 자세하게 담았다.

1937년 충북 음성출신, 청주중고-고려대 정치외교학과-군복무-농촌진흥청(공무원)-국제식량농업기구(공무원)를 거쳐, 결혼자녀둘을둔청년장원호는가족을한국에두고, 홀로단돈50달러(당시 한국정부 허가 액)를 손에 쥐고, 유학차 미국행상선 진덕호에 올라 19 일 만에 오리곤 주 포틀란드에 도착, 근처 박씨 농장에 취직, 피와땀의 유학생활을 시작한다.

오레곤 대학 언론학부에 입학하고 식당일, 백화점 청소원, 네바다주 도박장 웨이터 보조, 세탁물 트럭 운반, 잔디 키우기 등의 일을 해 가며 학사 학위를 마치고, 남가주대(USC) 언론학 석사과정에 입학, 신문사공무국, 윤전실 일을 하며 학위를 얻는다. 가족과 재회 아이오와 대학원에 진학, 17개월 만 언론학 박사학위를 받아 동 대학 창설이후 최단기 박사학위 취득기록을 세운다. (동기간 아내는 칫솔공장과자동차부품공장에 취직 가족의 생계를 이어간다.) 드디어1972 년 미주리대학교 저널리즘스쿨의 교수가 된다.

현금50 달러로 시작한 7년간의 인고의 유학생활은 장박사의 특유의 긍정적사고, 남다른 노력, 체력, 재치와 애정으로 점철되어 있다. 그의 교수생활은 조국과 후학들을 위한 사랑으로 이어진다. 미국에서 언론학의 최고봉으로 알려진 미조리대학 저널리즘스쿨의 교수로서 그는 그의 위치를 최대한 활용, 한국 언론계와 언론학계에 엄청난 기여를 하게 된다. 주요 언론사의 기자들과 언론학 지망생들에게 선진 미국언론을 배우게 한 그의 노력이 동자서전을 통해서 자세하게 드러나 있다. 그는 이밖에도 중국 언론계에도 엄청난 도움을 준다.

자서전을 읽고 있노라면, 충청도 농촌출신의 촌사람의 특유의 소탈함과 보통사람으로서의 파격적인 대인관계가 무엇보다도 감동으로 적셔온다. 그는 각종스포츠, 대중음악, 서민적인 오락과 잡기에 특출할 정도로 능하다. 골프실력은 지금도 싱글이다. 그는 평범한 일상을 통해 그의 장기를 지칠줄 모르게 쏟으면서 후배들과의 자연스런 인간관계를 맺는다. 그의 그런 삶이 스승으로서 선배로서 산교육이 되었음은 물론이며 자서전이 이를 보여준다. 이제 팔순의 나이지만, 그에게는 휴식이 없다. 13년 전 은퇴하여 남가주 라구나 우즈 빌리지에서 한인은퇴자들로 구성된 한인 커뮤니티 멤버로 살면서, 한인회장, 남성 골프회 재무이사, 동지역의 은퇴인 6,102 가구를 관장하는 이사회 이사로서, 수석부회장, 지역사회재개발위원장, 조경관리위원자장을 역임하면서 보람찬 삶을 이어가고 있다. 특이 요즈음 그가 펴내고 있는 세계 각국의 여행기는 은퇴후의 노년의 행복한 생활을 즐기는 다양한 방법을 알려준다.

자서전 마무리에서 장박사는 이렇게 말한다. 좀 늦기는 했지만, 가족과 친구를 챙기는 것이 남은 인생의 목표라고하면서, 선각자들의 깨달음에 대해얘기 한다. 깨달음이 뭔가 특별한 경험이나 대단한 능력을 가지게 되는 것이라고 착각하지만, 그 깨달음은 뭔가 없었던 것을 새로 얻는 것이 아니라 우리가 항상 가지고 있는 본성을 재발견하는 것이라고 하면서, 많은사람들에게 행복이란 현재의 삶과는 뭔가 다른 새롭고 특별한 것을 성취하는 것으로 여기는 수가 많다 그래서 지금이 늘 불만족스럽고, 더 좋은 것, 더 새로운 것, 더 나아보이는 것을 찾고 싶어서 마음이 바쁘다. 그런데 우리가 사랑하는 가족과 함께 여행을 해보면 알겠지만 정말로 소중한 것은 그리 멀리 있지 않다.는 것이다. 더불어, 그는 자기인생을 운칠노삼(運七勞三, 운수7, 노력3)이라고 겸손해 한다. 단돈50 달러를 가지고 이국에 와서 좋은 교육, 자랑스러 커리어, 잘나가는 자식들, 많은 친구들, 그리고 내 분수에 맞는 은퇴생활, 이 모든 일들을 누리고 있으니, 이는 운이 없이는 상상도 못 할 일들이다.는 것, 하지만, 그의 자서전을 정독하면, 그의 인생은 운칠노삼이 아니라노칠운삼임을 금방 알 수 있다. 그는 치열하게 인생을 살았다. 그에게 기립박수를 보낸다. 일반서적사이즈 264 페이지에 담은 그의자서전 <오십달러미국유학>Amazon.com에서 펴냈고, Amazon.com에서$9.00에 구입 할 수 있다. <이계송 발행인>

여행 이야기(Traveling Story)

장원호 지음/Amazon.com

 

미국 미주리대 명예교수 장원호(張元鎬) 박사의 세계 여행기. 미주리대 언론대학원을 은퇴한 뒤 10여 년 동안 전 세계를 여행하며 얻은 지식과 감상을 친구에게 속삭이듯, 글과 사진으로 묶어냈다. 그는 30여 년의 언론학 교수생활을 열정적으로 수행한 뒤, “여행하면서 글을 쓰고 싶어” 마음먹고 이른 은퇴를 결행했다.

 

전직 언론학 교수는 남미 북미 대륙을 비롯하여, 서양문명의 요람 그리스와 오토만제국의 후예 터키, 동유럽까지, 여러 여행지를 마음먹고 주유한다. 한국이 그의 조국인 만큼, ‘자랑스러운 나의 조국’편도 들어있다. 그 과정에서, 기본적으로 인문 사회학적 자료공부를 하고, 그 바탕에서 현장의 느낌을 섬세한 글과 생생한 사진으로 묘사해 낸 것이다.

 

장 박사는 머리말에서 말한다, 여행에 관한 책은 많다고. 그러나 장 박사의 여행 이야기는 여러모로 색다르다. “여행은 삶의 공부”라는 것이다. 자연의 경이를 보았다는 사실만으론 여행의 가치가 없고, 가는 곳의 역사와 자연과 환경을 연구해야 한다고 강조한다. 그는 “여행지의 역사적 사실과 자연을 보면서 우리의 삶과 연결시키려 노력하며 여행의 보람을 찾는다." 고 덧붙인다.

 

따라서 ‘여행 이야기’는 여행자를 돕는 여행 가이드북이 아니다. 여행하며 보고, 듣고, 생각한 것들을 엮은 이야기책이다. 언론학자로서, 자연과 세상 이야기를 적은 리포트이며, 하나의 여행 기사 같은 것들이다. 장 박사는 은퇴 후, 미국에서 무료출판 온라인 출판사(createspace.com)와 세권의 책 ‘Dear Children, Destiny of a Running House, Traveling Stories’를 출판, amazon.com에서 판매하고 있다. ‘여행이야기’는 한글판으로 처음 시도한 출판이다.

     When I was told by a group from the Laguna Woods Village that they were organizing a tour to see the autumn foliage in the Death Valley, I wasn’t convinced that such a natural wonder even took place in the desert. I had seen beautifully colored trees on Seorak Mountain in Korea, the Austrian Alps, Algonquin Park in Canada, and the Yale University golf course, but I had never known that such a famous tourist attraction existed in our nearby vicinity.


   However, I was told that the fall colors are beautiful in the desert, by a former botanical professor in the village and that the normally green leaves of the various deciduous trees and shrubs in the desert turn to vibrant red and yellows for just a few weeks in the autumn. He explained that leaves are green because of the presence of a pigment known as chlorophyll in their cells during the growing season. In late summer, as daylight hours shorten and temperatures cool, the veins that carry fluids in and out of leaves gradually close up as a layer of special cork cells begins to form at the base of each leaf. As the cork layer thickens, the intake of water and minerals is reduced, causing the leaves to change color.



       In light of that information, I decided to join the tour.

      Our tour bus left Gate #3 of the Village around 9:00 one morning during the last week of October. As soon as we pulled out, our tour guide began her introduction on what we were about to see as we headed toward the autumn foliage in Death Valley. She told us that the beautiful yellow leaves we would see would be mainly on a species of tree called a cottonwood. We’d be visiting a number of lakes with colorful names such as Convict, Topaz, Mono, June, and Silver, where cottonwoods were the dominant type of tree. According to our guide, we wouldn’t be disappointed because the cottonwoods put on a spectacular color display in the fall.

     Cottonwoods were widely grown for timber along river wetlands or lake banks, where their exceptional growth rate provided a large crop of wood in just 10–30 years. The wood, coarse and of fairly low value, was used for pallet boxes, shipping crates, and for other purposes where a cheap but strong wood was required before plastic became readily available.

     I personally started my working career as an administrative officer at Korea’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry right after graduation from Korea University in 1961. As part of my duties, I helped Koreans plant millions of Italian poplars along the riverbanks by special order of General Park Chung-Hee, who had just come to power following a military coup. Koreans used poplar to make chopsticks, matches, and toothpicks.

  

Manzanar 

 



     After driving five hours on Highway 395 and a number of other roads, we finally reached Manzanar, our first stop, to see the most widely known of the ten camps where some 120,000 Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World War II.  Manzanar (which means “apple orchard” in Spanish) is the best-preserved of the former camp sites.

     Long before the first group of Japanese-Americans arrived in March 1942, Manzanar was home to Native Americans, who lived in villages near several creeks in the area but abandoned the town by 1929 after the city of Los Angeles purchased the water rights to virtually the entire area. As different as those two groups were, their histories each featured a common thread—that of forced relocation. Since the last of the detainees left in 1945, former detainees and other concerned citizens have worked to preserve Manzanar as a National Historical Site for future generations. 

     Of the 120,000 people incarcerated under armed guard at Manzanar, two-thirds were American citizens. They had committed no crimes, there were no trials, and there were no convictions. They were simply political detainees, unjustly sentenced to what amounted to an American concentration camp.

After the camp closed, the site was returned to its original state.

     All the structures were removed, with the exception of two sentry posts at the entrance, the cemetery monuments, and the former Manzanar High School auditorium, which was purchased by Inyo County. The county then leased the auditorium to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, who used it as a meeting facility and community theater until 1951. After that, the building was used as a maintenance facility by the Inyo County Road Department.

     In the visitor’s center, we watched a video that showed former President Ronald Reagan officially proclaim that the 1942 government action had been wrong and declaring that every living detainee would be paid $20,000. As I watched, I wondered why the Japanese government didn’t do such a thing after the inhumane treatment of Korean women during that same war.

     The Manzanar site also retains several building foundations, portions of the water and sewer systems, the outline of the road grid, and the remains of landscaping constructed by detainees. The site also retains evidence of the ranches and the town of Manzanar, as well as artifacts from the days of the Owens Valley Paiute settlement.

 


 

Convict Lake

 

     I was deep in recalling childhood memories thought about World War II, which I still remember vividly, as we drove another hour from Manzanar to Convict Lake in the Sherwin Range of California’s Sierra Nevada. The lake is well known for its fishing and the dramatic mountains that surround it, including Mount Morrison. Its surface lies at an elevation of 7,850 ft. It was wonderfully picturesque to see the yellow cottonwood leaves and the rugged snow-covered mountains reflected in the water.

 


 

     The lake was named after an incident that took place September 23, 1871. A group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City and a posse from Benton, led by Deputy Sheriff George Hightower, encountered them near the headwaters of what is now called Convict Creek. Posse member Robert Morrison, a Benton merchant and Wells Fargo agent, was killed in the ensuing battle. Mt. Morrison was named after him.

  

Topaz Lake 

 

     Topaz Lake is a reservoir located on the California-Nevada border, about seventy-five miles south of Reno. The lake was formed by diverting water from the West Walker River into a nearby basin that had previously contained a smaller natural lake. The initial construction took place in 1922. The levee and reservoir have been owned and operated by the Walker River Irrigation District ever since its construction.   

     Topaz Lake is popular for boaters, water skiers, campers, and fishermen. Fishing season runs from January 1 to September 30 and the lake is stocked with trout by both Nevada and California.     The lake is easily accessible from Highway 395. On the northwest shore of the lake is the Topaz lodge and casino, where we checked in for two nights. We rated the lodge at about three stars, which was fine, since the trip was organized to be fairly inexpensive.

     On our second day, we were scheduled to visit Alpine County, known as the Californian Alps, where an annual photography contest is held. We were also set to bathe in the Glover Hot Springs and to drive through Monitor Pass before returning to the lodge. However, there was a heavy snowfall overnight on Monitor Pass, so the itinerary was changed to include a drive to Lake Tahoe, about 100 miles north of the lodge.

     Just before we reached Carson City we stopped at Hunan, a Chinese restaurant, to enjoy a buffet lunch in the well-developed town of Gardnerville on Highway 395. Then we continued on to Lake Tahoe where, as a student of the University of Oregon, I had worked for three months in summer of 1967. 

 

Taylor Creek

 

 


     Taylor Creek is located on the south shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe. The Stream Profile Chamber, located a quarter mile down the Rainbow Trail, allows visitors an opportunity to study a diverted section of Taylor Creek through a panel of aquarium-like windows. It is a major attraction for local conservation and environmental education programs.  A 180-degree curved diorama illustrates life both above and below the water. That diorama features a mural displaying all the seasons at Taylor Creek.

 

 

Mono Lake

 

     Mono Lake is a large, shallow, saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in a basin that had no outlet to the ocean, according to brochures in the visitor’s center. The lack of an outlet caused a high level of salt to accumulate in the lake, making the water quite alkaline.

 


 

     The lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on the brine shrimp that thrive in its waters. It also provides critical nesting habitat for more than two million migratory birds that feed on the shrimp.

     Mono Lake is in a geologically active area at the north end of the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain and is close to Long Valley Caldera. The most recent eruption occurred a mere 350 years ago.

      In 1941, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power began diverting Mono Lake’s tributary streams 350 miles south to meet the growing water demands of the city. Deprived of its freshwater sources, the volume of Mono Lake was cut by half and its salinity doubled. Unable to adapt to such drastically changing conditions in such a short period of time, the ecosystem began to collapse. Islands that had previously contained important nesting sites became peninsulas that were vulnerable to predation by mammals and reptiles. Photosynthetic rates of algae, the base of the food chain, were reduced and the reproductive ability of the lake’s brine shrimp was impaired.

 

 


     Air quality also decreased as the exposed lake bed became the source of airborne particulate matter, violating the Clean Air Act. If something hadn’t been done, Mono Lake would have become a lifeless chemical sump.

     Appalled by that prospect, David Gaines formed the Mono Lake Committee in 1978 and began talking to conservation clubs, schools, service organizations, legislators, lawyers, and anyone else who would listen about the lake’s value. Under Gaines’s leadership, Mono Lake Committee membership grew to 20,000 and ultimately gained legal and legislative recognition for Mono Lake. Since its establishment, the committee has gained many victories in its fight to protect Mono Lake, with the help of the public and a coalition of government agencies and non-profit groups.

 

Tufa

 

     The unusual rock formations that grace Mono Lake’s shores are known as tufa. It is essentially common limestone, but what makes tufa uncommon is the way it forms.

 


 

     Typically, underwater springs rich in calcium mix with lake water rich in carbonates. As the calcium comes in contact with the carbonates, a chemical reaction occurs, resulting in calcium carbonate—also known as limestone.

     The calcium carbonate precipitates around the spring, and over the course of centuries, a tufa tower forms. Growing exclusively under water, some tufa towers grow to heights of more than thirty feet. The reason it’s possible to see so many tufa towers around Mono Lake today is because the lake level has fallen dramatically since 1941.

 

June Lake 

 

     June Lake is located on the other side of Highway 390 from the Mono Lake, at an elevation of 7654 feet. The majority of the developed community is spread narrowly along a five-mile stretch of California State Route 158 (which is also known either as June Lake Loop Road or Boulder Drive in the populated areas.)

 

 


     June Lake’s valley, often described as a horseshoe canyon, was formed by glacial action. The Rush Creek glacier split in two when it encountered the resistant rock of what is now known as Reversed Peak. The main glacier flowed to the north, creating Rush Creek Canyon. Another glacial branch turned south and east, but its flow was impeded and eventually stopped altogether as the granitic bedrock, since the southern branch created an uphill path toward the volcanic area of the Mono Craters.

     The community of June Lake retained its commercial vitality through the 1970s with the addition of a bank, hardware and paint store, welder, auto body repair, art and pottery galleries, and other businesses. Since that time, however, there has been a steady economic decline, spurred by the growth of the nearby town of Mammoth Lakes, which has drawn most commercial activity away from the outlying communities.

 

After the Tour

 

     I was so impressed by the natural wonder of the scenery and the disastrous damage to the area by human beings that I decided I would like to see the area again in a different season, especially the summer. The most attractive site for me was the June Lake Loop, where I’d like to camp and fish for the giant rainbow trout in the lake. However, I’ve been told that the huge trout are hard to catch since they’re old and cagey and that restocking of young trout has been curtailed almost entirely by California because the program is nearly bankrupt. Just another sad story about how human politics can damage the environment.

 


 

     In summer, I may also be able to cross Monitor Pass from Kings Canyon of the Sequoia Mountains. It may take weeks to explore the natural wonders, but what a wonderful part of the Earth we live in!
