Monday's shooting death of a librarian at Northeast Lakeview is a reminder of the connections among the colleges of the Alamo Community College District.
Alan Godin, 62, a part-time librarian at Northeast Lakeview charged with murder in the first degree in the shooting death of a fellow librarian, transferred from this college to Northeast Lakeview, Candace Peterson, library chair at this college, said.
She said he was at this campus for only a short period at 19 hours per week on the reference desk before he was sent to the new college.
Javier Patrón, coordinator adjunct faculty employment at this college, said Godin was paid by this college from October through December 2003 and February through May 2004.
At Monday's news conference, Reno said Godin had been at Northeast Lakeview for two years.
The victim of Monday's shooting, Donald Devin Zimmerman, 37, had been employed at Northeast Lakeview for one year.
Godin's wife, Christine Godin, is the dean of learning resources at Northwest Vista College.
She was hired 10 years ago before that campus was built. Former Chancellor Robert Ramsay referred to the then-new Northwest Vista as the district's high tech college, and Godin took that as her personal mission for developing the library there.
The Godins are active in theater locally, both appearing in a spring 2007 production in Boerne of "The Marquis Crossing Ladies Society's First Attempt at Murder."

I am in the undesirable position of being a friend of the shooter. As a fellow actor, I have had the pleasure of working with Alan onstage. My prayers go out to the family of his victim as well as Christine, his wife, who will have to bear a burden she should not have. (Continued…)
