Martha Warner

Born in Kansas City, KS during the Great Depression. Father a truck driver, mother a stay-at-home Mom, who was
disabled. Both parents worked incredibly hard but never moved out of the lower class. I won scholarships to college, and also worked part-time to achieve a Bachelors, then an MA in Sociology, complete with Phi Beta Kappa membership.

My husband became a college prof of political science at the U. of Vermont, and died at age 40, leaving me with
four children to finish rearing. I taught Social Studies in High School for 30 years, in Vermont. My son Rick has a PhD in history from U. CA and teaches history at a small liberal arts college. My daughter Marianne teaches in a middle school in Maine and is completing her Master's Degree, during the summer. My daughter Suzanne has a Master's Degree and works for the state of DE. My son John is ill.

I traveled a bit after retirement and have now settled in the "Triangle" area of N.C. I found my home via research; I was looking for a mild climate area populated by a diverse population, with Progressive policies and ideas. It's here. My little town of Carrboro is a very friendly town, an interesting and satisfying place to retire.

I am a Progressive. I participated in the Civil Rights movement in DC and Selma, AL, and my name is on the
WALL of TOLERANCE, honoring Rosa Parks, in Montgomery, AL and I am one of the founding members of the Memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., being constructed in DC. I belong to the ACLU, Amnesty, SPLCenter, the Humanist society, and other progressive groups. I like to quilt, write, cook, workout and travel, in addition to
keeping up with happenings in my town, nation, and around the world. PEACE to each and all.
