Environment - "North Judson attorney argues for environment"
Jeff Manes of the Gary Post-Tribune has a lengthy interview today with Marty Lucas - a quote:
Martin Robert Lucas is a doctor of jurisprudence; he attended the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington. He's also is a musician and environmentalist.Lucas and his wife, Corinne, live in a century-old Victorian within the town limits of North Judson. His family has been in Starke County since the 1800s. Lucas also owns 580 acres just outside North Judson that he calls Big Eastern. * * *
His undergraduate degree is in anthropology and archaeology -- namely, salvage archaeology. He worked on finding sites before they were flooded, like Patoka Lake near French Lick. He produced the first online audio program on the Internet called "Geek of the Week."
Lucas doesn't consider himself another Ansel Adams, but if you go to his very cool Web site, www.bigeastern.com , you'll see he is an accomplished photographer.
Lucas does consider himself a musician and recently wrote the music for a children's program that will air on Nickelodeon. While in high school, he played a number of brass instruments. After high school, he became a keyboardist for a rock-'*'-roll band. But working as a sound man for other bands really helped pay his way through college.
Lucas plays mostly acoustic guitar these days. A beautiful instrumental called "Sand Bar" is just one of many songs he's written.
