Doris was both a mother and a career woman. Her brood acquainted her with all the highs and lows of motherhood. Her working career was marked with a series of rapid promotions. Beginning as a secretary, she climbed the ladder of success in the field of her deepest interest and concern: education. Though her own formal education ended after only one year of college, she was self-educated through her voracious reading habit. She soon became an Administrative Editor with The Education Commission Of The States (ECS) in Denver, Colorado, a position that usually required a Master's Degree. Doris' poetry attests to the fact that intellectual acumen and emotional sensitivity often go hand in hand.She called herself dross, and would not allow anyone to put her on any kind of pedestal. She always maintained with the utmost integrity that she was an ordinary person. She sought no special accolades, though she received some awards and recognition through her work and through her church.Her poetry reflects her life story and is deeply emotional, sensitive, yet brilliant, and portrays her liberation (to use a popular term).
