Assignment NOLA (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781522794370)

Author: Kathleen Boston McCune From the hot and arid wheat fields of Salina to the deserts of Arizona and the bayous of Baton Rouge and now back to Kansas, Kathleen Boston McCune spent her life exploring the challenges ever present in America. The eldest of six children, she accepted responsibilities early, relishing the results of a job well done and learning of the rich strains in her heritage which inspired her to heights which might otherwise have felt too high to reach. As Page Editor for Education and Information on both High School and College newspapers, Boston McCune kept her hand in the writing she always enjoyed but realized early on it would not net the income necessary to raise children outside of poverty. As a parent of two and married to men who were themselves on the rise in their own careers, she followed them and worked in her field as Senior Financial Analyst (32+ years) in Topeka, Phoenix, Baton Rouge, Kansas City, Overland Park and Omaha. She was also a Realtor (16 yrs) and most recently a published Author of six books already on the market. Beginning her formal career as Deputy Treasurer for the State of Kansas was a political apex which encouraged her to continue in the field of budgets, investments and computerization at a time in America when these areas of management were and still are the integral part of whether we as a Leader in the World will continue in that coveted role or not. Kathleen is now married to Thomas E. McCune, former Marine and recently retired from a career in Construction, he is the love of her life.
