Irene wrote the following to me April 12, 1986:
"I grew up in Detroit, Michigan. I worked for several years as a secretary
and office manager, then married in 1945 to a man from Kansas whom I met at the
USO! When World War II ended we were in Newfoundland where our oldest daughter
had been born, then returned to Kansas to re-enter civilian life.
My husband found work with the Federal gov't connected with the helium extraction
industry. We moved to the Navajo Indian Reservation at Shiprock, New Mexico.
Our daughter attended public school there, a minority among Indian students.
I went to work at the local Indian Hospital, beginning a 23 year federal career
with the Public Health Service and later with the the Enviornmental Protection
Agency. When my husband retired on disability in 1958, we moved to Farmington,
New Mexico. I became
the administrative head of a small public service research project.
By 1964 we were in Rockville, Maryland. I retired early in 1974 in order to
accept a job with the local Presbytery. For the next 8 years I promoted equality
for women in the church and also was responsible for starting 12 new churches.
Several of the new congregations are Korean. The chance to work closely with
many fine Korean people is a gift I will always treasure.
I am an elder in the Presbyterian church, active now in women's groups at the
local church. In 1982 I retired from my professional relationship with the church.
My education includes a bachelors degree from the University of Maryland in
behavioral science and I am presently engaged in a masters program in General
Administration."
