First Person Summer Series Features Mary Mowdy
July 21, 2011
The Memorial Mission Statement describes the Memorial as a place that “. . . should evoke feelings of compassion and hope, and inspire visitors to live their lives more meaningfully.”
Join us this summer for a First Person: Stories of Hope program and hear from people whose stories not only meet that mission, but also allow us to experience history – and the Oklahoma Standard – from those who lived it. The First Person Summer Series, included free with Museum admission, is offered in the Museum’s Center for Education & Outreach on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. from June 3 to August 26.
Mary Mowdy, Survivor
1:30pm, Friday, July 22
On April 19, 1995, Mary Mowdy was on her third day at work with the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program in the Journal Record Building. Blown across the room, she suffered many injuries from head to toe. Mowdy has undergone numerous surgeries and physical therapy and has developed trauma-induced glaucoma, causing significant loss of vision in her left eye.
Mowdy eventually became Executive Director of the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program, a position from which she has now retired.
