Carolyn Wood

Carolyn Wood gained fame as a 1960 Olympic gold medalist in swimming. Her book Tough Girl tells her remarkable story when at age fourteen she became one of a handful of child athletes to win gold. A lifelong Oregonian, she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Oregon (BA English 1967) and Portland State University (MSW 1979, MS Education 1980), and taught high school English, literature, and composition for over thirty-five years. Her latest book, Class Notes, which came out in 2021 tells of her extraordinary experience as the Robert Kennedy children’s governess after his assassination in 1968.

Prior to the meeting, we will send out the meeting agenda and also the results of the member survey that many of you completed. We hope you will be able to join us for this informative and important meeting.
