stay competitive in today’s global
economy.
“At the same time, these coun
ties ate home to more than I.S
million people who have diverse
program needs in youth develop
ment, family relationships and
community development,” she
adds. “I hope to foster extension
education efforts that will focus
on these issues in a balanced
way."

Rodgers received her M.S. in
rural sociology in 1988 and her
Ph.D. in agricultural education
with a minor in public administra
tion in 1997, both from Penn
State. She is a member of numer
ous professional organizations

Notebook
Ida Risser
Our oldest daughter has a birth
day this first week in December. If
I write about her, I know that I
cannot do justice to her and all of
her aedvides.
She always was an independent
child and when she started school
she happily skipped to the bus
leaving me feeling sad and for
saken.
In sixth grade she ran the school
library as there was no librarian
that year. She was easily able to
do school work and tend the li
brary. As I remember, she was
second in a class of several
hundred when she graduated from
high school.
Her exuberance really showed
the day she came into the kitchen
with a letter from Alfred Univer
sity in New York state telling her
that she had a full scholarship.
They paid everything during her
four years while she earned her
B.S. degree and also an R.N. de
gree. From the time that she was
five years old, she intended to be a
nurse. After graduation she work
ed in Rochester for a year and then
traveled to Seatde to get a mas
ter's degree in medical and surgi
cal nursing. She had a house along
Lake Washington and owned a
sailboat We visited her several
times as she lived there and raised
a family in the next 20 years. Due
to her husband’s work, they
moved several times.
Now that she lives in New Jcr-

practitioner and sees patients all
day. She traveled to Washington,
D.C. to help write the tests rex'
other nurse practititioners. And,
she also writes for a Nurse Practi
tioner magazine by condensing
articles pertaining to the nursing
profession. This summer when
our family was in the mountains,
she had a two-hour telephone con
ference as a group planned the
rules for treating asthma.
She has come a long way from
the little girl who lived on a dairy
farm and fed the calves.
