Fun stuff:

• Dr. Poeter's unfolding professional career
  • toughening up for field work in the 1950's
  • rocking the boat in the 1960/70's (first female to take mechanical drawing in her high school), and one of the first women to be accepted at the all male college: Lehigh University)
  • subsistence farming to get through college in the 1970's
  • volcanic eruption delays PhD defense in 1980
  • CSM Oredigger rendering of Dr. Poeter et al. circa 1988
  • family 1970/80/90's/and2000's
  • the best office for getting work done!
