About If These Bricks Could Talk: Tales of Hendrix Past
If These Bricks Could Talk: Tales of Hendrix Past features familiar voices reminiscing about some of the memories and experiences that they associate with their time at Hendrix College – big and small pieces of life that help make Hendrix, Hendrix.
“We were creating space in a lot of ways – physically, metaphorically – and I think that was our real job.”
Every Hendrix College chaplain since 1995 – the Revs. Rock
Jones ’80, Wayne Clark ’84, J.J. Whitney ’96, and Ellen Alston ’82 – gathered for
a conversation on relationships formed, initiatives launched, trips taken, legacies
built, acts of service shared, callings recognized, and memories made.

“I’m no different; I’m just louder.”- Dr. Richard Rolleigh
For this episode, we welcome Dr. Richard Rolleigh, Hendrix
Class of 1967, who taught in the Hendrix Department of Physics from 1974 until his retirement in 2008… and a little more than that, actually, teaching one class per year until 2015. He taught every course in the department, including “General Relativity” and “Space, Time, and Reality.” All the while, he emphasized the importance of research, so much so that the Physics Department’s undergraduate research award is now named for him. Outside of Reynolds Hall, his activities at Hendrix included starting the women’s soccer team in the mid-1980s and
coaching it until 1989.
Dr. Rolleigh is joined today by Dr. Todd Tinsley, Hendrix Class of 1998, who currently serves as a professor of physics here at Hendrix
and will add the role of Associate Provost to his duties beginning this summer.

“You just make time for it because it’s available to you at Hendrix.” -Dr. Joe Lombardi
For this episode, we welcome Dr. Joe Lombardi, who moved to
Conway in 1980 and spent the next 34 years teaching in the Hendrix Biology Department. His courses included comparative animal behavior, animal physiology, biology of the human body, environmental biology, and ecology and evolution. Since his retirement in 2014, Joe has stayed connected with Hendrix and active in the community of central Arkansas folk musicians, and can be found playing his guitar or banjo and singing at various venues in the Conway area.
Joe’s conversation partners today are his former students Nick
Jones and Lauren Fletcher Jones, Hendrix Class of 2011. Both majored in biology and chose humanities minors: Lauren in dance and Nick in studio art. They and their two dogs currently live in Little Rock, where Nick teaches Exploratory Design at Episcopal Collegiate School, helping to foster a love for engineering, programming, and 3-D modeling in his students. Lauren spent a decade performing and teaching dance, and has now turned to creating in fiber arts. During the pandemic, they began streaming on Twitch to share their love of arts and
videogames with others in that community.
