Autorenporträt

Sue Maden attended Carleton College (1952, 54) and then went to school in New York City in nursing (BS in nursing, Cornell University, New York Hospital School of Nursing, 1957; MA in public health nursing, Hunter College, 1963). After a variety of nursing positions in hospital and public health fields and the American Nurses Foundation, she earned a master's in library science at Pratt Institute (1974) and then worked at the Columbia University Health Science Library. Retiring to Jamestown in 1982, she has since focused on volunteer work and local history projects, which have resulted in articles, books, compilations, exhibits, and lectures. She contributes a weekly column of historical facts to the Jamestown Press. She has served several terms on the board of the Jamestown Historical Society, most recently from 2005 to present, and is chair of the society's collections committee. She is also on the publications committee of the Newport Historical Society. Rosemary Enright holds a BA and an MA in English (Rosary Hill College, 1962; New York University, 1963) and has completed extensive graduate work in American civilization at New York University. Her professional careers include editorial work, teaching English at New York Institute of Technology, freelance writing, and work as a process engineer and computer systems requirement analyst for Northrop Grumman Corporation. She has been president of the Jamestown Historical Society board since 2005 and previously served as vice-president, a director, and editor of the biennial newsletter. She writes a monthly column for the Jamestown Press on historical society activities.
