Introduction to Peace Studies 201
His journey to peace activism began, unlikely enough, at the U.S. Naval Academy
where he received his B.S. In engineering in 1963 and took a commission in the
U.S. Air Force. After volunteer service in Vietnam he returned to graduate school
at Dartmouth College where he received his MBA in 1969. Soon after Hendrick
opted for an unusual career, given his background, becoming the men's lacrosse
coach and women's soccer coach at Dartmouth. In 1982, he and his wife moved
to Deer Isle where he soon began a full-time commitment to peace. He credits
the transformation to a return to Vietnam in 1998 and to his involvement with
Veterans for Peace. Hendrick has spoken several times at the Vietnam War Memorial
in D.C. as well as at rallies, and in high schools and universities around the
state. He is most dedicated to speaking out against war and against the influence
of the military-industrial complex on our culture.
