A resident of Kentwood, she died at 9:40 a.m. Monday, Feb. 12, 2001, in Osyka, Miss. Known to most people around the Kentwood area as "the Great Dane Lady," she was actually very well known in the world of science. She was 82, born in Dawson, N.M., on Jan. 1, 1919, the daughter of Mathe Friedman and Alice Friedman. Months later, her family moved back to their original home town of Hot Springs, Ark. There she was raised and graduated from the same high school where former President Clinton would later graduate. She received a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Arkansas in 1940, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy early in World War II. She served on active duty in the Medical Service Corps until 1946. She stayed in the reserve and retired as a commander in the 1970s. After receiving a doctorate from Duke University in 1951, she was appointed chief of the Mycology Division of the Naval Biological Laboratory School of Public Health, University of California-Berkeley. Morris Shaffer, then chairman of the Department of Microbiology at Tulane University, recruited her to establish the mycology program at Tulane in 1955. The program that she established there was unparalleled in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. The program began in earnest in 1957, when she was awarded a Mycology Training Grant from the National Institutes of Health, a grant that was still in effect at the time of her retirement in 1984 - 24 years of continuous support! She was also well known and respected at the national level. In 1963 she began a five-year term on the NIH Training Grant Committee of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. A few years later she was appointed to the Bacteriology and Mycology Study Section at NIH. She was one of the first women appointed to a study section at NIAID. In addition, she was chairwoman of the Mycology Division of American Society for Microbiology, 1963-1964, served on several national ASM committees and was president of the Medical Mycological Society of the Americas, 1974-1975. She served terms on the editorial boards of the Journal of Bacteriology, 1966- 1971, and Infection and Immunity, 1970-1974. She received the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship in 1964 to work at Makere Medical College in Uganda, Africa, the Kellogg Foundation Award in 1948, and the Alice B. Evans Award in 1993. Hardly anyone in the Kentwood area knew anything of any of these feats. She was the friendly, smiling lady in the tennis shoes, jeans and scrub shirt. All of her friends were greatly enriched to have known such a truly genteel Lady. Graveside services at Osaka Cemetery, Osaka, at 5 p.m. Tuesday, conducted by the Rev. Million Client. McKneely Funeral Home, Kentwood, in charge of arrangements. ********************************************************************************
