JEAN FORD - A NEVADA WOMAN LEADS THE WAY

When Jean was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 1997 her name was already on a list of Nevadans to be interviewed for the University of Nevada's Oral History Program. The illness made her history the program's top priority, and Victoria Ford, an associate oral historian with the program, began to interview Jean the following month. Interview sessions, which resulted in over forty hours on tape, lasted until January 1998. The result - Jean Ford: A Nevada Woman Leads the Way - is an entertaining and honest look at Jean's personal and professional life. It provides information about political, social, and business aspects of Nevada, and is available at libraries throughout Nevada. Find a copy at a Nevada library.
