Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map.

This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication. Many State Archives maps have historical information in the catalog record -- that should be captured in this field.

In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841." Many State Archives map catalog records refer to this as the "situation date." 1971 Date Published (Display) Text version of the date field -- can handle non-numeric characters (ca. 1850s, [1844]).

The field will be able to handle single dates or date ranges.

Repository Name of the repository that holds the original item. Saratoga Room, Saratoga Springs Public Library Scope Tiered geographical location (for example: United States, New York State, Saratoga County, Saratoga Springs, Congress Park). This field is here for two reasons: first, to present, at its narrowest level, the scope of the entire item (in other words, not every place name has to be listed here). Second, this field will allow for accurate and helpful narrowing and broadening of geographic searches. City Type For Maps: This subject field describes the purpose of the map. This is a controlled-vocabulary field using terms developed for this project. It is important to note that Map Theme and Map Type are not hierarchical, thus it is possible to have the two fields overlap or even duplicate each other. In determining the purpose of the map, the cataloger should consider the publisher, and, (if known) original use of the map. For example, a map that shows a wide variety of information might be a candidate for General in the map_type field, however, if it was prepared by the state geologist and contains, in addition to everything else, substantial information about the geology and topography of the state, it would be classified as a Geological map. Multiple terms can be used in this field. City Plan Theme For browsing purposes, we are borrowing and adapting themes from the Library of Congress's American Memory project.

NOTE: Below is an edited version of the audio interview, some information and details have been reordered, removed and grammar corrected by the interviewee for ease of reading. DR. DANA CARR [0:00:00]: Ok, so it’s going. MATTHEW CHIPKIN [0:00:03]: My first question I have is, were you in school prior to deciding to attend Skidmore's Nursing Program? DC [0:00:18]: First, I would like to thank you for asking me to participate in this opportunity and I would like to provide a bit of personal background. I was born in New York City and grew up in the Bronx. I attended public school and after graduating from high school I decided I would pursue nursing as my career choice. I attended Hostos Community College—a local college in the Bronx. I graduated in June 1975 with an Associate Degree in Nursing, took my licensing exam, and landed a job as an RN at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center. Shortly thereafter, I started taking liberal arts courses at Lehman College, which is part of the City University education system. In my mind I understood that I would need to obtain a bachelor’s degree but at the time it was just a thought. However, while at Montefiore I maintained my contact with Patricia Sullivan, the lead nurse recruiter. As we discussed my career goals and required continued education, she presented Skidmore’s program as an option for continuing my education. Of course, the rest is history! MC [0:03:05]: What was your general sense of the program before you started? Tell me about your introduction to program - when exactly you were there, what your classes were like... anything of that sort. DC [0:03:26]: This is an interesting question because I had to do a bit of leg work. I had no knowledge of Skidmore other than what Patricia Sullivan shared with me. But that said, I liked the idea of the independent nature of the program. It wasn’t just about completing nursing credits, I had to complete liberal arts credits as well. When I graduated with my associate’s degree, I only had 75 credits. To qualify for my bachelor’s, I had to complete liberal arts credits as well; this would be challenging because of Skidmore’s upstate location. Also, just because I wanted to go to Skidmore did not mean my acceptance was automatic. I had to apply for admission, just like anyone else but that said, I had lots of encouragement/support from Skidmore. It felt nice to be “wanted.” I was allowed to take many of my liberal arts courses, including sciences, nutrition, and philosophy classes at local senior colleges. I really wish I could remember the names of some of my professors who were powerful and supportive mentors, but it was so long ago. I was working at Montefiore full-time, I was raising a family and I desperately �wanted to earn my bachelor’s! It was great that the Skidmore nursing program was in New York City – East 38th Street to be exact. I started the program in 1977 and completed by bachelor’s degree in 1981. My nursing classes were interesting because even though I was already a registered nurse working in a hospital setting, there was much for me to learn. We focused on Nursing Ethics, Community and Public Health, and other areas that were not part of my associate degree curriculum. The clinical training process required me to attend hospitals. I think my schoolmates appreciated having a “real nurse” in class. They asked many questions about my work experiences. When you go back to school, you're a little bit nervous. You hope you are going to meet the criteria for acceptance. You want to be successful. Personally, I felt pressured because the nursing profession was changing, and it was important for me to obtain my bachelor's degree and function as an independent professional. In many respects, Skidmore’s program was in the vanguard. At that time, there were no City University nursing programs that encouraged independent study. I felt regarded for my experience as a licensed professional and I was encouraged to be a leader to my student nurse colleagues; I was respected. I'll tell you one of the things that I really loved was the programs leadership -- the professors I worked with were wonderful caring mentors who showed me that I could aspire to be something more – a nurse leader. Another valuable thing I learned was the difference between an associate degree nursing education and a bachelor's degree nursing education; the value of an advanced degree. I hope that answers your question. MC [0:08:50]: Yes, this honestly is what we're trying to get out of these interviews. How would you compare the campus in Saratoga to the campus in New York City to one another? DC [0:09:07]: The campus in Saratoga was rural and not very accessible. When you go “away” to school you expect to complete your education on campus or locally. Yet, being able to complete my coursework in New York City was a bonus. Perhaps there was the recognition that the trauma center in New York City was the best locations for the clinical experience. Although I was actively employed at Montefiore Hospital, I had to take time off for clinicals. I went to hospitals such as Bellevue, New York University, and Beth Israel. These were wonderful experiences because they provided opportunities to learn about the mission, vision, and values of these organizations as well as their clinical practices and culture. These clinical opportunities opened my eyes to entirely different practice models because, as previously mentioned, I grew up in the Bronx, was educated in the Bronx, and I worked in the Bronx. Having clinicals in Manhattan exposed me to so much more than I could have expected. MC [0:11:53]: Mmm. Awesome. Can you talk more about your experiences after you completed the Skidmore Nursing Program? DC [0:12:08]: I graduated from the nursing program in 1981. I must say that having that �bachelor's degree in nursing, created immediate work opportunities for me. I was able to climb a career ladder at my hospital, Montefiore. I was a head nurse on a medical surgical unit and I expanded my practice into community health. I also enrolled in graduate school. Skidmore opened another door for me and made me think more about career advancement. I advanced professionally, eventually going into home health care where I stayed for many years. I worked as a visiting nurse. I recruited nurses for the Montefiore home care agency which is part of Montefiore Hospital. I also pursued my graduate education in Gerontology attending the College of New Rochelle. I finished in 1986 with a Masters in Gerontology which allowed me to fast track into Nursing Administration. I became a nursing supervisor and eventually an assistant director and a director of nursing. If I look back and ask myself where did that all start, I have a ready answer Skidmore - and I must say, when people ask me where I got my various degrees and when I mentioned, I received my nursing degree from Skidmore College, they look at me and they're like, ‘oh, wow.’ Skidmore has a great reputation as a stellar educational institution. I'm sure Matt, you know that as you've had that experience yourself. MC [0:14:54]: Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. When did you learn about UWW closing? DC [0:15:08]: I am not exactly sure when UWW closed, I believe it was sometime in 1985—you will have to check that date, but I know that its closure was/is a loss. Especially since today so many schools have programs that are modeled after independent learning. MC [0:16:24]: What is your contact with Skidmore like now? DC [0:16:52]: I am on the mailing lists and receive ongoing email updates. A few years ago, pre COVID, I was invited to come up for a meet-and-greet. It was great fun seeing young people who are still uncertain and yet very inquisitive about growth opportunities. MC [0:20:01]: This is all awesome. Is there anything else, any closing remark you’d like to make? DC [0:20:17]: I would like to say I considered it an honor to be asked to participate in this interview. I am often contacted by students from various programs, but your contacting me was especially meaningful. I credit Skidmore for getting me where I am today. As I shared previously, in 2013, I earned a doctorate in public health/health policy from the New York Medical College. That was a career affirming achievement. With every application I have ever completed for work, school or other events, Skidmore has always been on the list. For me being a registered professional nurse is a wonderful personal and professional accomplishment. I will never forget the role that UWW placed in my accomplishments. Even though the program no longer physically exists, it continues to exist in my heart and through all on my accomplishments. That said, I am pleased have had this conversation with you Matt. I hope you have found it of value. �MC [0:24:09]: Thank you, Dr. Carr. Yeah, I appreciate it so much. Not everyone answered the first email, so I am glad you were so enthusiastic about this, seriously. � Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge.

DEBORAH WICK [00:00]: Okay. I think it's working. CHARLOTTE BRACKLO [00:02]: Great. Okay. So where were you from before you decided to attend Skidmore's nursing program? DW [00:09]: I grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Let's see. I did a little college tour, but I don't think that Skidmore was even included in it, so I'm not really sure why I went to Skidmore. And I was so young then. I don't know, my parents did not help me with my college choice decisions and my school counselor really didn't help me much either. So, I'm not really sure how I landed at Skidmore, but I did land there and um, so yeah, it was a good decision for me though in the end. CB [00:46]: Good. Um, so did your family have a background in medicine or nursing or...? DW [00:53]: Okay, so did my family have a background in medicine or nursing? Yes, both my parents were physicians. My mom, um, worked in an emergency room for just a little while and then she had children, so she didn't really practice for very much of her life. My father was a psychoanalyst and so he was a physician and, and became a psychoanalyst then and, and practiced for all of his life. And we, um, yeah... But I did not enter Skidmore with the intention of becoming a nurse. I really had intended to become a teacher. That was my goal all the time while I was growing up. I was like, I was going to be a teacher because I like children and I thought that that's what I wanted to do. And when I got to Skidmore, um, I was there for the first two years. Most of the...most of the nursing students, you know, do one year at Skidmore and then two years in New York City and then one year at Skidmore, but I decided late my freshman year to become a nurse because even though I had no experience with a hospital, I'd never been to a hospital, I don't think. I don't remember ever being in the hospital. I had no idea what I was doing. But New York City... you got to go to New York City and I did not love being in Saratoga. And Saratoga then was not like it is now for you guys. It was a real Podunkville town. It had bars and that was... and a post office, and that was about it. So, I really didn't love being out in the country like that so much. I thought I would, but I didn't like it. And so, the pull of New York City was tremendous for me. And seeing the seniors come back to Skidmore, to Saratoga, they were so sophisticated and so sure of themselves. And when I was a freshman I just, I did not feel sure of myself at all. I felt really, um, awkward and I didn't... I'd gone to a big public high school, I didn't, you know… there were a lot of women for, um, from private schools who knew how to small talk and, and be socially competent, and I just felt like, I just felt so awkward. But seeing �the seniors come back, it was so cool. I was like, ‘oh I'm going to go to, I'm going to become a nurse.’ I can remember calling my dad and being worried because he would have wanted me to be a doctor, of course, not a nurse. So I called, but they were fine. And so I went to New York City and that's how I got into the Nursing program and it turned out that it was a wonderful career for me. And, um, except that I had a lot of trouble at the beginning of getting used to blood, but after I got used to blood then I did all right. But anyway, that's what I did. That's how I got to be a nurse. CB [03:39]: Were there, just based on what you just said, can you, like incidences that you remember where, like, your fear of blood was an issue? DW [03:49]: When I, when I finished, um, Skidmore and graduated, I got married right away and um, my husband and I moved to California, to Berkeley. And, um, I worked one year as a med-surge nurse and I did get used to it pretty quickly. It just wasn't a huge deal. It made me woozy for a little while and then I just got used to it I guess because you're just so busy when you're in nursing, you got so much you've got to do that… I just didn't, didn't have time really to be too worried about it or for it to linger. But I did choose to become a psychiatric nurse. So, one year after graduating I worked in med-surge on a low-income clinic floor, which was great experience. So, all kinds of things. And then I, um, went to graduate school at University of California, San Francisco, and got a master's degree in psychiatric nursing. And I did that for a while. I did that for about eight years after I graduated. But then I didn't love that either, too much. So, I'd had, um, I had a couple... I had my son, my oldest child in 1975. And then, in 1977, I had my daughter and I had her at home. I did not go to the hospital. I did not love the hospital for birth, giving birth. It was not a great experience. And so being in Berkeley and being a young hippie at the time, I had my second child at home. And after that I decided what I really wanted was to become a nurse midwife. And that's... that was my, that was my passion for the rest of my career. It really was a passion. I loved being a nurse midwife. I absolutely loved it. So, when... let's see, so that was in ‘77… I had Sarah and then, um, I had another child, Annie, in 1980. And then finally... so I had these three kids… my husband was... we were living in Athens, Georgia at the time. My husband was at the university. He was an English professor. And um, I know this is not very organized the way I'm doing, telling you this, is it? CB [06:06]: No worries at all. It's really totally up to you. DW [06:09]: Okay. So, then I, um, well I read a lot of... I read a lot of feminist literature at that time. I was reading a lot of feminist stuff and it just happened that one summer right after I decided... after a couple of years after having Annie, after '80, I decided this is it. I really want to go back to school and become a nurse midwife. And so, um, Annie was �born at home also. So, the first one was in the hospital, then Sarah was at home, Annie was at home. Then I decided I'm going to school because I was reading all this, all this feminist stuff. So, I, you know, just said to my husband, ‘look I gotta go, we gotta go to school.’ So, he took a leave of absence and a sabbatical. He took enough time so that he came and took care of the children. And I went to graduate school at Georgetown University and got a master's degree in nurse midwifery. And so that was really the, that was really, I know that's a long time. It was like 10 years after I graduated, but that was really the beginning of my career. When I was working in psychiatric nursing I did work. Um, I worked in the hospital and I did continue in education and then I taught in a baccalaureate nursing program. I taught psychiatric nursing. But really, when I became a nurse midwife, that was the beginning of my career. And that's, you know, my real love. The thing that I really loved to do. So that was my beginning. CB [07:38]: That's, that's really great. Um, I'm just going to base off of the questions that we have and kind of jump back to high school real quick. Um, you kind of mentioned that you didn't really plan on being a nurse, but what was your educational background before joining the program? Like were you focused on sciences in general or...? DW [08:01]: No, I kind of was all over the place. I really didn't know because I, I was planning on being a teacher so it doesn't, wasn't really focused on one thing or another. And I was thinking early education like so elementary school teacher. So I didn't really... no, I just kind of had a general... and you know... Hold on a second, I gotta pick up my phone. Um, and in those days you didn't have as much choice. Like you guys have much of a choice, then you didn't, you just took what you took. You took English, you took a science, you took history, you took, you know, one of everything and it was pretty much prescribed for you. You didn't really get to choose a lot. Maybe, you know, I got to choose my language. I took French, but there wasn't a lot of choice. CB [08:45]: Okay. And then to your Skidmore experience. Um, what was your sense of the program before you started? Did you have, did you know the nursing program existed since you weren't really planning on doing that or...? DW [09:05]: No, I had no idea they existed until I met these seniors who came back from New York City and then I was like, ‘oh wow.’ And I think, um, I don't think any of my roommates did it, but I may have met somebody who was going in the nursing program and they were... I wasn't the only, you know, most people did the 1-2-1 program or one in New York, uhh one in Skidmore and then two in New York City and one on campus. But there were a few, I think there were three other women along with me who had decided later who went, who did the two and two, two years and two years like I did. But, um, so �being at Skidmore was, you know, during those years, I don't, have you interviewed anybody else who's around this age of mine? CB [09:56]: Uh, no. You're my first interviewee. DW [09:58]: Okay. Um, well during those years at Skidmore, we went from being a freshman and having all of these rules where you couldn't do... There were no boys in the dorm. There were curfews every night. You had to wear a skirt to dinner every night. And we used to wear raincoats with our nightgowns underneath them because nobody would know you didn't have a skirt on. But, um, just lots and lots of rules, to our senior year when there were no rules… Boys could come all the time, you could wear whatever you wanted to. So, it was like this huge transition in the culture of, you know, of the country during those four years that I happened to be in college, um, which was fascinating in itself. But um, being in New York City was the biggest... So, my junior and senior year was when most of the changes happened, was between junior and senior year. So, um, we were right on, well, the first year we were on 2nd Avenue and 20th Street and then they built a whole new building for us that summer. And the next year we were at 34th Street and 1st Avenue. So, our first year at, at...in New York, um, we were in a dorm, this old decrepit building really. And the dorm, everything was in the same building. So, you lived upstairs and then you had the classroom and, um, faculty offices were downstairs. So, it was all one building in New York. But, um, the first year was a really decrepit building. So that was very memorable because, um, we even collected a huge jar of cockroaches, I believe, and sent them to the president of Skidmore because this building was so decrepit. We used to cook. We had to cook our own meals because there was no meal service. So, we, and we have, I think we had a couple of hot plates and it was just like, it was kind of crazy for the tuition we were paying. And I think our parents all were up in arms, so they all wrote to the president too. And then the next year they had built this huge... It was an older building, but they had totally renovated it. And it was gorgeous. A gorgeous building with...We got to choose our carpet and our furniture. And, um, it was just crazy. It was just crazy. It was just a time of so much transition for me. But anyway, so that was my kind of Skidmore experience and I never did go back to Saratoga because I was graduated after my, you know, after my second New York year. CB [12:42]: And so, it sounds like you had, you enjoyed your time in New York City. DW [12:48]: We loved being in New York, just loved it. You know, the nursing classes were really small. I don't know how big our class was, but it was small. You know it wasn't like a hundred students. It was like…I don't remember how many, I wish I could remember. You'll have to look that up. But anyway, so it was just this really intimate, um, small group of women and we became very close and we, we would do stuff in New �York. Like we go to a lot of the plays on Broadway. We would go for standing room only because we couldn't afford to get tickets, but we could do the standing room only. We'd go to Broadway plays and we would... I remember my roommate and I went down and we took a pottery class down in Greenwich Village. Um, and we just had a great time. It was wonderful. Oh and we'd do, like we would do the visiting, we had, um, one of our courses was Community Health Nursing, so we would go down to the Lower East Side to these very poor sections, um, with our public nurse uniforms on and we'd go into these tenement houses and, um, deal with people there. It was just… it was a lot different than being in Saratoga for me. And it was really wonderful. I loved it. CB [14:10]: So, you just mentioned a class that you, that you took. Are there any other classes that you remember as like sticking out or any teachers, professors that you had? DW [14:23]: Yeah, I loved all of our nursing courses, I don't know why. I was not a great student my freshman and sophomore year, well I was better sophomore year, but then my nursing two years, those courses were hard. And there was a lot more work for those courses than the ones that we'd have on campus. And, um, but I really enjoyed them so much more, I guess because I was more focused on what I wanted to do by then. And I remember a psych nursing course was fascinating, we went to the VA hospital and dealt with some very mentally ill people. But I remember our professor… Well most of our professors were quite young. There was one older med-surge professor, but our psych professor would have us over to her apartment, which was kind of fun and have lunch, you know, have lunch for us and stuff like that. Yeah, we, yeah, I kind of loved all that stuff. Loved those days. We'd walk up 1st Avenue at night to the library at NYU and use their library. And I don't know, it was fun. It was a different experience. You can tell probably from the experience that you're having, it's a different kind of, different kind of thing, different opportunity. CB [15:37]: Yeah, it definitely sounds different. DW [15:41]: More of an urban kind of thing. CB [15:45]: And, um, so after Skidmore, how did you think what you learned at Skidmore or like the liberal arts program? How did it impact or serve you in your future career? DW [15:58]: Um, you know, it was really good. They, they would always tell us that because we've gone to a baccalaureate program we would, would not have had as much focus on actual nursing skills like um, like starting an IV or, you know, suctioning somebody or something, a physical kind of skill and that is true. We did not have as much of that, but we had, we had a really good basis for decision-making and um, anatomy and physiology �and why you were doing things and how to, how to make decisions about a patient. So, I really felt like it served us very well in that way. And the skills we learned very quickly, you know, because anybody can learn how to start an IV. It's just a physical procedure that you just, after you do it five times, you know how to do it. Do you know what I mean? It doesn't take a lot of judgment or thinking, it's just a... like a thing that you learned to do. And, but we had a really good education and sort of the, all the background stuff on how you make decisions and why you make decisions. So, I felt really, really good about that. Um, and that has always helped me. It's kind of like one of the things we learned was how to learn. We didn't just learn stuff, but we learned how to learn stuff and how to find out stuff and how to, how to problem solve a problem and that kind of thing. So that was really good and that helped me well. CB [17:29]: Good. So, um, you kind of already talked a little bit about your career path earlier, but when you first indicated your interest in being part of this memory project, you mentioned that you opened your own midwifery home birth practice? DW [17:47]: I did. CB [17:48]: Could tell me more about that? DW [17:50]: Yes. Yes, I could tell you more about the home birth practice. Um, so one of the things that Skidmore I think set us up to be was kind of leaders in our fields. I mean, we felt like we knew what we were doing. We felt pretty confident, confident in making our own decisions, maybe. I'm not sure what it was, but we all kind of went off and did our own thing regardless of what we were supposed to do. Do you know what I mean? We could make our own decisions. So, we um, so I... after Nurse Midwifery School, um… well first of all, at Georgetown was a very, um, it was a very good nurse midwifery program and the head of our program was a woman who had actually started a home birth service in the Washington DC area. So, she was very open to alternative methods of childbirth and natural childbirth. And so, I had gone through school with experiences at an out of hospital birth center, I had done one home birth as a nursing... as a midwifery student… and so I was very comfortable with that and I'd had three of my own children by then at home. So, I... so the first thing I did after midwifery school was, I worked in a, in a hospital, in a low-income midwifery clinic and it was great experience for me. But what I really wanted to do was to do home birth because, you know, that's where my heart was. So, I decided I was going to start my own home birth business with, with another woman who lived in Athens, this was in Athens, Georgia, and another woman who lived there. And so, um, we went to a lawyer and find out what the laws were and there weren't as many laws then as there are now about midwifery. But anyway, um, we �had a backup doctor who if one of our patients ran into trouble, she would go and see him. But very quick... Oh, can you hear me still? CB [19:56]: Yeah. DW [19:56]: Okay. I got a call waiting, but I'm just ignoring it. Um, so within, I can't, maybe within the first year of opening our own practice, we started to get quite a few clients. So, we had maybe, we started out with maybe two births a month and then we got up to about six births a month. And right in that period, the doctors in the town in Athens, there were two practices. Each had, I think at the time it started with this, they each had four doctors, three doctors… three or four doctors in each practice, I don't remember. But they were so upset that I was doing what I was doing and, um, they decided as part... I was also teaching part-time at Medical College of Georgia School of Nursing that had a satellite program in Athens. So, I was also teaching part-time because obviously I was not supporting myself with six births a month. So, I was teaching part-time and doing births part-time. They, these doctors, these two groups of doctors got together and decided that any woman who was cared for by one of them could not... none of my students in Medical College of Georgia could work with those, those women. And it was like, what? Because then I couldn't teach obstetrics obviously, right? Because I couldn't work with any of my students, my students couldn't work with any of the patients in either of the hospitals in Athens. It was really crazy. So, then I started to find out more and more stuff. Um, and finally I decided to file a lawsuit because, um, I don't, I don't remember. So, the lawsuit is really, really complicated so I don't want to get into all the details of it, but basically, I filed for first amendment rights for free speech because they, one of the things they complained about was that I would teach women that there were pros and cons of circumcision. Believe it or not, that was one of their chief complaints. The other one was that in the labor rooms, I would let my students dim the lights so they wouldn't have the bright lights on. It was like, these crazy things they were coming out with. So then in the course of the lawsuit, we found it that they definitely, they really did want to shut down my practice. That was their intent. So, the lawsuit became an antitrust lawsuit because I was practicing legally, I had a backup doctor. The only thing that, the main thing that they didn't like, it turns out that they didn't like, was that I was salaried. I was not salaried by anyone. I was... My patients paid me directly. If they needed my backup doctor, they would pay him directly. So, they were upset because I was the only nurse midwife in the whole state who is not salaried by a hospital or a physician and so therefore under the control of a hospital or a physician. They really, they just couldn't deal with that, the independence thing. So, this lawsuit went on for five years and then there was another whole tail end of it, but at the end of the five years they did settle with me. And, um, I ended up moving out of town because my husband wanted to move to Los Angeles at that point. So, um, I ended up moving out of town, which was a good thing �because they kind of sued... it was, everyone was so up in arms over this lawsuit. There were even articles in the Atlanta Journal Constitution about this lawsuit. I mean it was crazy. And I, it was very upsetting for me. It was very stressful. And so, at the end of the lawsuit when we settled, I did get to rewrite the bylaws of the hospital, which was great. And um, they couldn't, you know, obviously they couldn't squash a home birth practice after that. They had to allow the home birth practices to go on and um, but I, but I left town, which kind of was a healing thing for us because I was like the lightning rod in the whole debate. Do you have any questions about that? So complicated. It was really complicated, but I ended up suing ten doctors and two hospitals at the end. It was very traumatic. CB [24:17]: Yeah. No, thank you for sharing that. DW [24:21]: That was the most traumatic thing of my whole career. CB [24:25]: Yeah, I can imagine. DW [24:26]: Obviously, obviously. CB [24:28]: And sorry, just moving on…In LA then, I think you had indicated this as well, you helped develop and run a prematurity prevention program? DW [24:43]: Yeah. That was... so I went to...We left Athens with our kids. My husband got a, um, decided that he wanted to try to do screen writing. So he was, he got a fellowship for the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, so that, and it was right at the end of the lawsuit. So, um, we went to Los Angeles, we moved to Los Angeles. And then, um, I started working for a big Kaiser hospital there. Um, Southern California is basically run by Kaiser. They kind of have a monopoly there, so there are lots and lots of Kaiser hospitals. And I was in a really large Kaiser Hospital and I was working, when I started working there, there were six nurse midwives, by the time I left there were twelve. So, we had um... the nurse midwives had half of the labor and delivery floor and then the doctors had a high-risk area, but the nurse midwives did seventy percent of all the deliveries, we did all of the low-risk deliveries. And we actually did a little bit of the high-risk ones, but not too much. So, there was a floor with this birthing center was half of it, and then the other half was the labor and delivery unit where the high-risk patients would be. And, um, that was an amazing job. We did a lot of deliveries. We would work 24-hour shifts, two midwives at a time and each of us would do between eight and fourteen deliveries every 24-hour shift. So, we were doing, we were just delivering babies like crazy there. And we had excellent statistics. So that was a wonderful, wonderful job. I got �so much experience there, but then we, um...After a couple, after about, I think I was there about three, more than three years and um, they wanted somebody, they got a bunch of money together to, um, have a prematurity prevention program. So, and they wanted somebody to do that. And I said, I'll do it. Sure, I'll be happy to do it. I've never, I'd never done anything like that in my life, but… So, I developed this program, which was really fun. I had lots of money, which was great. I got to hire my own staff. So, I hired a secretary and I think five nurses and we did, um, we took care of every woman who was at risk for having a premature delivery. So, moms with twins and triplets, people who'd had a, uh, a previous preterm delivery, there were all kinds of risks. We would do a risk assessment on every woman who came to that Kaiser. And then when they were high risk, we would, we would have them in the program and then we would do a whole educational part for them and we would follow them through their pregnancies. And then we had the highest risk women, I decided would benefit from midwifery care because, you know, the doctors go in, they do an appointment, it's like five, three to five minutes maybe, but midwives would spend like twenty minutes with the patients. So, you'd do all this education and all kinds of stuff. And these women really needed a lot of education to take care of themselves so they wouldn't have a preterm baby. So, um, so I talked to the head of our department who was this wonderful man and he... we set up this program where the nurse midwives did, I think we would do like three prenatal visits and then the doctor would do one visit and then we do three visits, he'd do one visit. So, then I had my five nurses and my secretary and then I added on midwives for this, for this clinic where we would actually take care of these very high-risk women. I had always felt like midwifery care, low-risk women would be fine because they're low-risk and babies come out really well. You know, they know how to come out. But women who are high-risk need more care and more intention. And by going to a nurse midwife they would get more care and more attention. And so, I always had that kind of philosophy that nurse midwifery care would be really good for high-risk women and as long as the midwives were in consultation with a physician. So, we would have weekly meetings where we'd go through all of our patients and talk about care plans for each one and that sort of thing. But it was a wonderful program. I loved doing that. And I did it for one year and then my husband died, suddenly and unexpectedly. And here I was out in Los Angeles, with four children and no family, and so, I did leave after the one year. It was, it was tough to leave, but I just couldn't do it by myself with all the kids and no family nearby. That, that program crashed and burned for me because I couldn't, couldn't stay and really do anything about it after that. CB [29:48]: Yeah. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but did you continue working after that or was that...? DW [29:56]: Oh, no, yes, I did. He died of mesothelioma, which is what you get from �asbestos exposure. Even though he was a college professor, so we don't really know how he got exposed. But anyway, he died very quickly. And, um, so then I moved back east with the children to a small town in northern New York State near Albany, actually not far from Skidmore, Cambridge, New York. I don't know if you know where that is. It's not too far from you. It's about an hour, uh, east and just, let's see, where is it? Cambridge, New York. So, it's just east and north of you, I think. CB [30:32]: Yeah, I've definitely heard of it. DW [30:34]: Yeah. So, we moved there. I moved there, because there was a, a little, um, it was a small, it was a small town, had its own hospital and um, there was a doctor with one midwife and they wanted to add another midwife. So, I decided to move there and take that job. And it was a lovely, lovely place to have a baby. Um, once again the midwife did most of the deliveries, the two of us. And um, it was just this country hospital and so you knew the whole family, you know, it was a small town so you'd get to know the whole family. And um, it was, it was wonderful and it wasn't so busy. Obviously, I wasn't doing 14 deliveries every day. I just would do, uh, you know, maybe three or four deliveries a week. And it was just, it was a lovely practice with an older OB-GYN who was wonderful, who supported midwifery and I loved that. It was the perfect job for me for recovering from the death of my husband. And then I did meet another man and who, um, who was the financial aid director actually at Williams College, which is where Sarah, the ones who teaches at Skidmore, and my son both went to Williams College. And so, I met this guy who was the financial aid director and we fell in love and got married. So, he's my husband now. We're married now. Been married since '94 or '95, I guess, yeah, '95. CB [32:10]: That's nice to hear. DW [32:14]: And that was... and then, that was kind of my last, yeah, that was my last midwifery job that I had. Um, after that, after, well he's older, so we, he was ready for me to retire. So, I tried to retire, I'd try. I'd always try and retire and then I'd go back to work because I missed it so much. But anyway, one time I tried to retire and then I went back to teaching nursing and I, we moved to Cape Cod when he retired. So, um, I taught at University of Massachusetts. I commuted and taught nursing there for quite a few years and then we moved here to the south, and I have not worked again now since we moved here. I just decided, I just started volunteering though for the, oh to accompany women who've been sexually assaulted to the hospital. I'm volunteering for the sexual assault center here, but I'm not doing anymore midwifery. I'm kind of, I think I'm kind of done. CB [33:16]: Yeah. �DW [33:17]: I'm 70 now, so. CB [33:19]: Yeah, it sounds like you've done a lot. DW [33:21]: I don't really want to jump out of bed at three in the morning anymore. That was… I did that for a lot of years, that was enough. So, I don't know what else. What have I forgotten? CB [33:31]: No all good. I was just going to move on. So, your daughter teaches at Skidmore now. How... was that inspired by you having attended Skidmore? DW [33:47]: My daughter teaches at Skidmore, was that inspired by me attending Skidmore? No, Sarah went to Williams College actually. She's an artist and she was in New Jersey and it was just a job opening at Skidmore and she interviewed for it and she got it. But it was so totally ironic for me because I had these three different phases of my life of being near Skidmore and Saratoga Springs because I was a student there and then when we lived in Cambridge, New York, we used to go to Saratoga to do our Christmas shopping and stuff. And so, it was like a totally different place for me than when I'd been a student. And then... now Sarah's teaching there, so now we go and I see my grandchildren and stuff, so it's just really weird to me that I've had these contacts with Saratoga and Skidmore all these years on and off and on and off, because I really have not kept up at all with my... I mean I keep up with a couple of classmates on Facebook, but I've not... I never really went back to Skidmore. I never really went to reunions. I just didn't stay in touch with it very much. I've gotten more in touch with it now since Sarah has been there for a few years. So now I was going to go to my last reunion, but then something came up. I wasn't able to, but um, so I've never been to a reunion, but I think I will go now. Um, now that I'm back in touch with it a little bit, but it was just never, I just didn't, it just wasn't the kind of thing I did. CB [35:19]: Yeah. DW [35:20]: I kind of was moving forward, not backwards. I don't know if I answered your question. Oh, so Sarah, no, she's just teaching there because she's teaching there, but she loves that I went there. I mean she loves that. She's more excited about it than I am, I think. She just loves that I went to Skidmore and that now she's there. And she's got a 15year-old and a nine-year-old. So, um, yeah. So, we go up a lot and see them. And in the summer we always go for, um, about a month we'll go up and get a little, uh, house on a lake nearby, near Sarah and will, uh, spend a month there so we can spend time with our �grandchildren. And we go to the races and Skidmore and Saratoga and all that kind of stuff. It's fun. CB [36:06]: Yeah, it sounds great. DW [36:07]: I'm going back and she lives right in town, right on East Avenue. Right in, right in the downtown area. Yeah. CB [36:19]: Yeah, so the Nursing program at Skidmore closed. Do you remember that happening? Did you have any feelings, strong feelings about that? DW [36:30]: You know, I didn't have strong feelings about it because I was so detached from Skidmore. Once I went out to California, I was kind of, you know, the first time after getting married I was kind of gone. I didn't really, um... Oh, that's the part I left out for you. I went to, right after college I went to California. We lived there for six years. Then we moved to Athens, Georgia, and that's where all that lawsuit stuff happened. That's why I got involved in the lawsuit. Anyway, there was that transition. So, we went from California to Athens, Georgia, and then to Los Angeles. So, we had a couple of California trips. Um, anyway, um, I heard about it. I'm sure I heard about it within a year or so after it closing. Um, but I don't, do you know what year it was that it closed? I don't remember. CB [37:25]: Um, I don't remember right off the top of my head. DW [37:28]: That's okay. I think it's sad because it was such a unique program. I don't think there's another program like it anywhere in the country. And it was such a unique program and such a good program and, I don't know, what it was about it, it was just very special. Um, so I think it was sad, but I also know it was probably tremendously expensive to just for this small group of women, they had a whole faculty, a whole building. I, you know, I mean, I... in New York City, in Manhattan. So yeah, that, that must have cost a fortune to run that program and to keep it. Oh, you know, one of the ironies is that Skidmore... at the very, very beginning of the Skidmore Nursing program, I don't know how I know this, but I, but I do know it, they used to use Mary McClellan Hospital, which is in Cambridge, New York, which is the hospital that I worked in when I came back from California after my husband died. So, Mary McClellan Hospital has a whole history with Skidmore as well. And so, it's so funny that you know, your life just goes ’round and ’round. But here I was a graduate of Skidmore and I was working in the hospital that Skidmore used years and years and years before that as a clinical placement for nursing students. It's just interesting. �CB [38:49]: Yeah. DW [38:51]: Kind of an irony. CB [38:55]: So that is pretty much all I have for specific questions. Are there anything, if there's anything else you would like to share, any other memories that stand out from your Skidmore experience or, um, or after that your Skidmore experience had impacted, that you would like to share? DW [39:14]: There was one funny thing that I was going to tell you about and I forgot about it. When we were in New York City, when I was telling you all the things had changed so much over those two years… The first year we were in there, when we were this, in this old building, we had this elevator. Oh, this building was so creepy. Anyway, we lived in this old building and um, we were not allowed to have boys in our dorm, but of course we did have boys in our dorm. So, we would have to sneak them in. There was like a lady at the desk downstairs who would check to see who was coming in. So, we would have all these ruses where we would make up these elaborate plans to distract her or, you know, even burn something on the stove in the kitchen, so she'd have to go in the kitchen, and then we'd sneak all these guys in at once. It was like this. And then we'd have to sneak them out again. And one time, I remember one of my friend's husbands, now, well he became her husband, but her boyfriend had, we had him dress up in a dress and a wig to get out of the building. It was, and they realized of course that this was a man because he was huge. So, somebody was chasing him up 1st Avenue… it was the funniest... it was just, there were so many little memorable things like that. It was just really quite an experience you can imagine. CB [40:33]: Yeah. DW [40:35]: And we'd have, and we would have the, we had a little roof next door that kind of attached to our building. So, if we had boys there that we could, if we couldn't get them out in a day or so, we would let them sit down on the roof so they could get some fresh air. It was just really bizarre. I mean it was just crazy. Anyway, I'm glad things have changed so you don't have to do those kinds of things anymore. Although they were kind of funny and fun to do. CB [41:03]: Great.

In many cases, this will be the same date as that in the date field, but there will be exceptions. For example, a historical map drawnin 1890 might show Saratoga Springs as it was in 1820. Or, the information on the map itself might include detailed information that enables us to extrapolate a date, for example, "based on a survey done in 1841." Many State Archives map catalog records refer to this as the "situation date." 1979 Abstract (& Historical Note) Natural language description of the map itself, providing a general summary of the map and noting significant features. This is the place to introduce keywords and proper names that might be of interest to researchers, but do not warrant a separate subject heading of their own. Inset maps should also be described here, with their full titles given. Whenever historical or explanatory information is available, it should be included here as well. This includes information about items or events that are larger than just the map itself; for example, information about cartographers, a description of the map's historical significance (for example, "This is the first printed map of Saratoga Springs"), notes on the laws leading to a map's creation, descriptions of changes in state or county lines, information about the organization that created the map, how often maps were updated, and information about the map's creation and publication.
