    One Woman’s Studies: The Far-Reaching Impact of Gayle Graham Yates, PhD (1940-2023)
    (Journal of Opinions, Ideas & Essays (JOIE), 2024-02-21) Knatterud, Mary; Knatterud, Mary
    In 1979, I was introduced to Dr. Gayle Graham Yates, the first full-time coordinator (and soon chair) of the up-and-coming WoSt (Women’s Studies) program. I found her to be an inspiring teacher, a gifted author, and a thoughtful mentor. Her wisdom and empathy, in and beyond the classroom, lived on in every aspect of my own academic career for nearly a half-century (and counting!), even though I only really interacted with her for a couple of years. But they were foundational years, intense and heady, for which I am forever grateful to her. I was deeply saddened to read of her death on April 27, 2023, at age 82.

    Many of us enjoy hearing the stories of others. With that thought in mind, we invited UMRA members to share their stories of personal experiences during retirement via a short essay. We received a number of interesting and diverse stories that we have combined into this anthology. We wish to thank the authors for their thoughtful contributions to this collection: Gene Allen, My Retirement Story Pauline Boss, Ambiguous Loss Lynda Ellis, Have You Tried New Activities During Retirement?
