He ended up keeping his job. It just shows us how times have changed. <br />As Ethel, my grandmother, yes, she is the same Ethel I wrote about who married and divorced three times. This new blog is dedicated to her years at Rice (pre marriage #1). Not only was she brave to study Chemistry as a woman in 1939, but she was by far the youngest in her class. She enrolled at Rice before she turned 15. I don't think she meant to be independent for her times. She really tried to fit in, and being so young, it was hard. Her circumstances shaped her. She had many regrets and didn't give herself the credit she deserved. We always loved her and admired her accomplishments. This blog is truly a journey to get to know her story from the early years.<br />Smadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09765946753514711483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510150534438159918.post-8266728330352336992013-03-16T15:31:46.136-04:002013-03-16T15:31:46.136-04:00Very brave of her to be a Chemistry student in 193...Very brave of her to be a Chemistry student in 1939. And Frank Pattie does look somewhat sleazy, to me--poor Miss Whately. Is Ethel Bloomfield that beautiful woman you wrote about lately who married and divorced three times? She must have been too independent for the times!Mariann Reganhttp://mariannregan.authorsxpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510150534438159918.post-41873154299300512662013-03-16T14:03:56.777-04:002013-03-16T14:03:56.777-04:00Quite a university she attended from what I can re...Quite a university she attended from what I can read.Billy Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053172567806569702noreply@blogger.com
