Letter from the Editor
I have spent the better part of the last two years helping Dorothy Shooster remember her life. In that time I have come to know Dorothy and to value her as a friend. The book you have in hand was written before I came into the picture. But it consisted of stories and memories contained in journals, notes, letters and unorganized reflections. Dor- othy kept a diary in the early years of her child rearing years that provided much material. But there were (and still are) large gaps in the written chronology of Dorothy’s life. To- gether we have tried to fill some of those gaps and to reexamine the many stories that provide such a vivid portrait of one woman’s life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
