NEW BOARD MEMBER

The KFSNAA Board is pleased to welcome Terry Clark Foushee '69 as our newest member. She expressed an interest and willingness to participate. We are very excited to have her on board.

ZOOM GATHERING

The KFSNAA first Zoom Gathering took place on Saturday, October 16th. It was quite a success with 39 attendees. Some folks had a few technical glitches which were quickly solved with the aid of Diane Salgado, '71 and Pat Rodrigues, '69. Our MC was Phyllis Moroney, '57A who did an excellent job. Our Board President, Deloras Jones, '63, as always, eloquently updated us about the Association's activities, the celebration of the success of our book, the potential for a nursing school as well as introducing Board Members who gave committee and activity updates. Our invited presenters comments were brief but pertinent and informative. Thanks go to Ann Williamson, Jim D'Alfonso, Steve Gilford, and Cuong H. Le

Steve Gilford…Lead Author our book

It is with a great deal of gratitude that KFSNAA honors Steve Gilford, Kaiser historian and exceptional story teller, for the fabulous work he did putting our story into word. Steve took the alumni responses from questionnaires and oral interviews, and along with archival research added his own vast knowledge of the history of Kaiser Permanente to author the first 5 chapters of our book. Thank You, Steve. You helped assure that KFSN will not be forgotten, ensuring our legacy lives on. See attached bio for more information about Steve.
