Commander's wife
finds Paris life busy
By ARLENE SAUNDERS
Emerald Women’ll Editor
“We live about five kilometer*
from the center of Paris in a
beautiful French villa with five
acres of porch and gardens.”
Sound like a paradise? It prob
ably is, but the couple who lives
there, Lauris Norstad, comman
der of SHAPE, and his wife lead
such a busy life it is doubtful
that they have time to enjoy the
kind of life that would seem ap
propriate to this setting.
“I am getting to be an expert
in organizing a time schedule,**
said Mrs. Norstad in an inter
view by letter.
Mrs. Norstad, the former Is
abelle Jenkins, attended the Uni
versity of Oregon as a freshman
in 1930, and was affiliated with
Delta Gamma. During the de
pression, she returned to her
home in Honolulu, Hawaii, and
a year later met Norstad at a
wedding. He was then a second
lieutenant recently out of West
Point Flying School. They be
came engaged soon afterwards,
and were married a year later.
Go to Europe
The couple went to Europe in
1951, and have lived there since.
In the past eight years, Norstad
has served as Commander of the i
Allied Air Force in Central Eur
opc, and Air Deputy to the Al
lied Commander. He became Su
preme Allied Commander and
Commander of the U.S. Forces in
Europe in 1956. As head of the
i Supreme Headquarter* of the Al
; lied Powers in Europe (SHAPEi,
Norstad's command extends from
the northern tip of Norway to the
eastern shore of Turkey. The first
supreme commander was Gen
eral of the Army, Dwight D. Ei
senhower.
"Besides a huge job and re
sponsibility, we have constant
conferences and visitors from
all NATO countries. We enter- i
tain hundreds in a year's time
at lunches, receptions, and din
ners," said Mrs. Norstad.
Enjoys European life
“In the nine years since I left
America, the longest time I have
been home is two weeks. I love
life in Europe, and like visiting
and knowing well the people of '
many nations.” Mrs. Norstad
cites meeting the heads of gov
ernments of the NATO countries
(including kings, queens, and
other high-ranking government
