FROM PETRIFIED TO PRESIDENT: My Golden Memories of OEH

Not only was my work well-received, but I found community and support among like-minded folks. From then on, Ī always looked to the Midwest History of Education Society (now OEH), as the very first place 1 would try to engage with my academic community. When it comes to the notion of a "golden memory," I have to say that my fondest times have been those shared with fantastic friends along the way-too many to count, but most significantly with S. Marie McCarther, my dearest friend, colleague, and research partner. [...]at a time when the truth is constantly under siege, we have never been more necessary.
