Portland Observer Thursday, July 12,1979 Page 9 Portland Profile by Linda Thompson which war given to the Portland Art Muioum by The Links, Inc. for the Cameroon Collection. The gift was in memory of the late Emma Lewis, a former Link, Visit the Portland Art Museum by ’¿'¿ihry.i H. Bogle There is still time to catch the last few days o f the exhibition Vienna Moderne at the P ortland A rt Museum. This has been a program, made possible by a grant from the Oregon Commission fo r the H u manities, giving an idea o f the in teresting life and thought o f the Viennese at the turn o f the Twentieth Century. Pictured are some friends who gathered there one day recently. On display were graphics, fur- ; n itu re , paintings, examples o f elegant silver craftsm anship and other metal w orks as well as ceramics. Lectures by noted speakers have beer, offered as well as concerts and films all to illustrate the life o f that era. Although Vienna Moderne w ill be closing after a few more days, there are hundreds o f interesting things to see in the permanent collections open for public viewing every day except M ondays. Ethnic displays are in generous space allotment and in in teresting arrangement with new items being added from time to time to keep the display freshened. Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Brown view painting and furniture from the Vienna Moderne Exhibit at the Portland Art Museum. The Portland A rt Museum (to borrow a phrase from Bili Cosby), “ wants to be your A rt Museum” —and they invite you to be one o f the 7,(XX) new members they are seeking to add to tbeir membership rolls. Try it! You’ ll like it! Mr*. Brown pause* for a closer look at old Viennese lace patterns in the Vienna Moderne Exhibit. To be inodett is to be free from conceit and vanity and to place a moderate estimate on orc ’ s ability or worth. I have encountered on numerous occasions and in many professional people different degrees o f modesty, but I firm ly believe that our role model for this week passes the great est degree o f modesty I have ever encountered. To get the necessary in formation for this interview was like pulling a wisdom tooth (smile). Because our role model has a wealth o f knowledge and experience Î teked away under her belt, it was very difficult to decide which infor mation to share with you. Let it be clearly understood that the profile o f Ms. Angie Richardson, RN— is only a partial report o f this very quiet, self-assured Libra that I compare and put in the categories o f women like M arian A ndeison, M ary Bethune and Harriet Tubman. I f there are occasions where you are forced, by circumstance, to visit the new Bess Kaiser Permanente Clinic on North Montana, you may glimpse Ms. Richardson. She is Out Patient C linic Nursery Supervisor for the clinic. Angie completed high school in her native hom etown, C olum bia, Mississippi. She attended nursing school at C o lu m b ia H o sp ita l in C olum bia, South C a ro lin a and Columbia University in New York where she received her degree in nur sing. The fo llo w in g is only a partial docum entation o f her w ork ex perience: She was an employee o f the K ellog F o u ndatio n in N o rth e rn Mississippi, where she set up the first school for Blacks to get the necessary training to become practical nurses; while attending school in New York, Ms. Richardson worked nights in O.B., was charge nurse, and taught student nurses; in Brooklyn, New Y o rk , she was em ployed by the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital where she started as a staff nurse and went to Supervisor o f Services for the entire maternity unit. One o f the most outstanding points o f her career is that she spent seven years in the U S. A ir Force as a nurse. She held the rank o f captain and was the first Black female officer in the A ir Force. She was stationed in such states as Georgia, Ohio, New York and Oregon. It was her career with the A ir Force that brought her to the City o f Roses where she has since remained. Her stay here has been a feather in P o rtla n d ’ s nursing cap Her dedicated works here have included employment with Providence Hospi tal as Supervisor o f Instruction; with Allison General Convalescent Home; w ith Bess Kaiser and the O.E.O. Program; with Multnomah County as Community Health Nurse, with major emphasis on adult programs: hypertension, mental health and obesity; and back to Bess Kaiser in her present position., She is the proud mother o f two children, Roger and Ardella. Her present hobbies include: refinishing furniture, fishing, sewing, golfing^ gardening, drama (has appeared it» several productions), and enjoyg working with adolescents. Ms. Richardson’s formula for suc cess is a re fle ctio n o f her ow rf philosophy and her own undoubt- able success. She states: “ One should set high goals. Be determined. I f you are really determ ined to do something you can. For me there is no such w ord as can’ t. Young people, especially, can make things happen. These things can either be good or bad. This is left entirely up to you as an individual. You have to work hard at whatever you want; you have to look for opportunities, opportunities don’t look fo r you. I believe there are very few dumb people in the world. Don’t be coun seled out o f anything you want to do professionally. W ith determination you w ill succeed.” U n til next week remember: Let someone else ring your bell; don’ t ring your own. Mr*. Tara Steward, an art student at tna Museum Art School; Mrs. Webstar Brown and Dr. Avis Graham of the University of Oregon Medi cal School.
