Memories of Glenys Wilson
Submitted by Rita Goldhor
Chabot College
I was saddened to read, in the last CARE Newsletter, that Dr. Glenys
Wilson died last June. I worked for her as a half-time secretary
until she retired as Nursing Program Director. The program she
developed for Chabot College was the greatest: it enabled students
lucky enough to gain entry to be admitted to the Board of Nursing's
Registered Nurse Examination after two years instead of four, and
Chabot graduates did exceptionally well on the Northern California
Board exams. Later she put together a one-year LVN to RN program
which also allowed students to continue at their jobs, a very
special opportunity.
I loved working for her, and if I may be allowed a personal
digression...if I took an overly long time to finish a job, she
would say: "You got it done ALREADY?" ... without sarcasm, but I do
recall her remark: "Flattery will get you everywhere," though it was
kindness that defined her. She will be sadly missed, but
affectionately remembered.
