Obituary: Jerry Morton, 67, journalist, photo-journalist, historian at large, and Spartan fan extraordinaire, died in his East Lansing apartment 24, 2011. His death was sudden and unexpected, and he will be missed by students, friends, colleagues, and relatives of every description. He photographed the faces of people he met in unsung corners of the world, in Timisoara, Romania, in Zongolica, Mexico, and in the rural counties of southwestern Michigan. His prize-winning images of people absorbed in work and conversation were exhibited at the Birmingham Our Town Art Show, the Birmingham Bloomfield Art , the Okemos Library, the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and the Detroit Artists Market. In the Fall of 2007, his work enjoyed a one-man show at the Swords into Plowshares gallery of the Central Methodist Church in Detroit, and last year, his recent color photographs were featured in an exhibit mounted by the Mexican Consulate in Detroit. He did not look for the art in peoples figures, so much as he distilled the art of the authentic and the intimate from the human experience he observed. In his life, as well as in his work, he prized honesty and laughed at pretension. He liked to have a mission, and his idealism always sought a project involving other people. As a Fulbright Fellow teaching journalism at the University of Timisoara in western Romania, he helped a new generation of free Romanians produce the first student newspaper at their school. In his most institutional work, doing public relation for many years for the Mexican Red Cross, his work was not to recruit funders, but to figure out small things (rulers, pencils, notebooks) that would reach every schoolchild in Mexico with the message of the Cruz Roja and a personal reward for contributing to it. He met the President of Mexico, but more importantly, he gained an entrée into towns and villages far enough off the beaten track to never be referred to as off the beaten track. Mortons exposure to the vibrancy and open-heartedness of Mexicans confirmed his photographic vocation, and the color of their life eased his skeptical transition to digital technology. His personal mission was to shoot a million baskets. He was shooting with a friend one day who asked him How long do you think it would take you to shoot a million baskets?, and from that casual playful moment on a warm day, began a happy set of notebooks in which he wrote down, not only how many baskets he shot, and where, but the people he saw or played with, and what they had to say. He never worried about whether hed make the mark, he just never left home without packing his basketball. Only in the past two years did he begin to say he could do it. One of his friends intends to make the last few tens of thousands in his name. A believer in the local nature of history, he was a supporter and ultimately President of the Barry Historical Society, and a frequent visitor to Hastings, for the Society, for work on the s biographical register of its war veterans, or for coffee. Cultivating the lore of small towns and individual craftsmanship also led him to Freeport, whose old-style hot-type press issued the last such newspaper in the state, and whose last days Morton chronicled in the The Sound of Words (2001) - finding in this project a splendid rationale for touring similar ventures in the small towns of Iowa and Dakota. It was hard to get him to point east. The one time he visited me in New York City, he managed to arrive during a transit strike, so that on his way out of town, he got a story by walking 3 miles from my place down to Penn Station, interviewing people in coffee shops along the way. He took endless pleasure in recalling presidential trivia, family stories, and the dates and details of vintage football games, serving as proofreader to the MSU Football Players Associations history of the football program, The Tradition Continues (2008). He was the only guy who had all the scores memorized. (Is that crazy he asked. No, its just not normal.). Jerry was born in South Bend, Indiana, on May 7, 1943, the only child of Donovan and Regina (Hosinski) Morton, who introduced him to the wonders of travel via the Corn Palace, Badlands, Wall Drug and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota en route to his Uncle Eds ranch in Hat Creek, Wyoming. He developed interests in history and sports that informed the personal touch of his journalism. Favorite authors Carl Sandburg and Studs Terkel signal his fascination with the experience of the solitary Americans work, aims, fears, and inspirations. He took up the classic loner sport of cross-country running, but spent more time as equipment manager for the basketball team of Benton Harbor High School, a position that enabled him to adopt the reporters stance: a witness in the scene, but not a contestant. He took up the bass drum to be in the marching band, and learned accordion as part of the Polish heritage of which he was always proud. His historical interests included as well the pride he took in familial accomplishments, whether with Sherman on his to the Sea, his Uncle John wounded by a bolo knife in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, or, most of all, his fathers arduous, esteemed work as ships storekeeper during World War II. Having attended Lake Michigan Community , he entered MSUs journalism department, and earned a Masters Degree in a fellowship year at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern (he studied political journalism in a later fellowship year at the University of Michigan). Jerry also completed a Ph.D. at Michigan State University. college, he served as a VISTA volunteer in Baltimore, founding a community literary magazine, Chicory, based on transcriptions of neighborhood residents oral poems and stories, was one of continued... |
