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.
