NEWS BULLETIN
This bulletin begins a quarterly report to Industry on the progress of the
technical program of Southern Illinois Uni ve rsity, established for industries
in this area. Planned by representatives from industry working with SIU's
Harold W. See after the establishment of th e Southwestern Illinois Residence
Office in 1955, the program d e veloped rapidl y .
By late summer 195 7, when the Reside n c e Centers were established in
East St. , Louis and Alton with Dr. See as E x e c uti v e Dean, the technical program had reached tl1e point where it required the attention oJ .a.n .. inJ~.ustrial
training specialist who could devote himself e xclusively to its development.
The University was able to secure the s er v ices of Chelsea Bailey, who had
just completed a two -year assignment in Ba g hdad setting up an Industrial En gineering Institute for Iraq 1 s Ministry of Educ a tion. Working with Chels Bailey,
Information Service will publish a quarterly i ~ formational bulletin for the
area's industries.
MESSAGE FROM HAROLD SEE
"It has been most gratifying to participate in the de v elopment of a program
designed for industry that has grown from absolutely nothing in the fall of 1955
to a program that will exceed 100 c ourses this y ear. Student enrollment probably will number 1, 500 by the end of this .school year. With the appointment
of Chelsea Bailey to our staff this year, we are able to provide the full-time
leadership this program so richly deserves.
"A personal word seems to be in order - the warm friendship and encouragement each of you extended to me when I arrived in this area some two years
ago has been sincerely appreciated, and my real regret as Mr. Bailey assumes
this responsibility is the necessity for lessening my contacts with each of you
in industry.
"The fact that all of you have giv en Chelsea Bailey the same type of support and cooperation that you extended to me is mo$t encouraging as we look
to future program development. 11
CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEES
Working with SIU's Residen c e Offi c e a nd Div ision of Te c hnical and A dult
Education to determine what c ourses will meet the needs of the area are men

IN -PLANT TRAINING PROGRAM
. An In-Plant Tr a ining Progr a m has been ina ugurated under the spons'c;&gt;rsh1p of Southern Illinois Unhre rs i ty. Day, eveni ng and late afternoon clas~es
are now sche.dule d. f~r. six p lc::.nts, 2.nd others h2.ve contacted the Technical a\nd
Adult Educatwn Dlv1s1on wit h a veiw to beginning classes of their own.

�- 3 Classes already in oper=:.tion are:, Supervisory Training at American
Zin:c, Rapid Reading at Dow Chemical Company, Material Handling at Granite
City Steel, Effective Speaking at Monsanto, and Industrial Report Writing at
A. 0. Smith Corporation. The In-Plant courses - designed specifically to
meet the needs of the plant in question - are geared to present a maximum
amount of practical application with a minimum of theory.
MATERIAL HANDLING
Three classes in Material Handling are 1n session at present, one at
SIU' s Alton Residence Center aad one e ach at the Granite City High School
and Granite City Steel. Committees have been formed in these classes to
take up shop problems 2.nd work them out under the supervision of instructors.
Ray Surveyor and Thurmon Darnell , tv.;o of the instructors, are president and
past president respective ly o f ch e St. Louis Chapter of the -A:rn7r. ic~n Society
for Material H a ndling. 'I' r1 i s pr og:;_~a:::n i s a pproved and under the sponsorship
of the local and n a."l:icm &lt;:'.l &lt;::.sso ciat i on s.
TOP-LEVEL 1v1ANAGi.-&lt;;MZN 'J.' COURS E
A gr0u.p of eight ee n ke y supe rvi s o:::- s from industries in this area meet
weekly with Dr . Jos e ph B i :rd of Southern Illinois University to "work out an
engineerin8 approach to th e human relation-s ·problem. ''
Comprised of supervisors who report to no one lower than a vice president in their respective companies, the men were selected by the industries
because of the strat e gi c positi0ns they hold. They will meet for at least sixteen two-hour Tue s day eveni:l.g sessions in the Granite City High School.
The contP.nt of t he cour se - called Effective Management - was determined in 2. r.c12eting of SIU o fficials with executives from representative
~. ndustries of the are a.
"Most m e n lose out - not becau s e of technical inability to do the job
they are hired to do - but b 3caus e they haven't been able to get along with
other:- ," Bird says. "On e of the tra ge dies in industry is the case of the
supervisor who com.plain s, 'I h ave a superior foreman who's too smart for
his job. '
11

. ~1-: e first thin g V/ f; do in the cour s e is to help each man get really
acquainted with h i mse lf a nci d e termin e what bias and prejudice he has.
When he becom e s a bl e t o c o.r..s id s r hi s o vm problems critically, he gets the
reaction of perso ns wi t ~ v1 h om h e is in daily contact.

"In th e li ght of t h e i nformc:.tion a bout his own strong and weak points, he
is better quali fi ed ·co u n de r r: t a D.d t he p r oblems of his foremen and consequently
better able to help th e m g et a. cq uaint e d with t heir human relations problems.
The foremen in tur n le3.r :.:l t o h e lp the m e n under them apply the same principles.

�- 4 Most employment decisions are made on an emotional rather than on a
scientific basis, according to Bird, who was personnel consultant of New
York City Civil Service Commission and employment and training manager
for RCA before joining the staff of SIU's Alton Residence Center. A Ph. D.
in business administration from New York University, he served more
recently as consultant and management training specialist in Turkey and ·
France.
RAPID READING
Intense interest on the part of management in the improvement of reading skills prompted Southern Illinois University to inaugurate a reading
improvement program. Highly specialized materials and equipment have
been secured by the University for use in the courses now being given at
Dow Chemical Company and at Granite City High School. .
....

..

.

· -· ~ .

Interest in this program has become so great that a waiting list has
developed. There is a recognition on the part of management that the
improvement of reading skills - both in vocabulary and speed - has a direct
relationship to efficiency in one's administrative capacity.
SIU has acquired the services of a specialist who helped to develop
equipment and techniques for the improvement of reading skills, Harris
Shettel.
SIU's RESIDENCE OFFICE REPORTS
Dean See's report to the University's Board of Trustees for the Fall
Quarter showed a total student population of 2, 874 in SIU Courses in Madison
and St. Clair Counties, with 1, 873 taking work for credit, 850 in technical
and adult education, and 151 in conference type and short courses. Of the
1, 873 students enrolled for credit, 202 were at the graduate level. Approximately 36 per cent or 655 of the credit students were on a full-time day basis.
Most of the credit students enrolled at the Alton Residence Center come
from Alton, Wood River, and East Alton, with smaller numbers from Edwardsville, Bethalto, Godfrey, and Roxana; while the East St. Louis Center draws
most of its students from East St. Louis, Granite City, Belleville, and Collinsville.
Ninety-four per cent of the students live within 35 miles of their classes
and as many as 80 per cent live within 20 minutes' driving time. Madison
and St. Clair Counties account for 86 per cent of the student body, although
the total student population rep:cesents 104 communities 30 counties and 4
states. Slightly less than 50 per cent of the total f~esh~an students enrolled
in day classes graduated in 195 7 or later, with most of the remainder graduating between the years 1950 and 1956.

�- 5 More credit students major in general business than in any other field.
With 15 per cent of them indicating general business as their field of concentration and an additional five per cent listing accounting, management,
secretarial science, and economics, the majors in business and related
field constitute roughly 20 per cent of the student body.
The combined fields of science - applied and pure - and math enroll
almost 14 per cent of the student body, and the various fields of professional
education claim 13 per cent, with more than half of them planning to go into
elementary education.
More than 700 Residence Center students at Alton and East St. Louis
receive state or federal help with their education. W e1J .oy~r }Jalf of these
are students who receive financial help only because they are attending an. ·
Illinois state univ.ersi'ty. This makes 35 of them eligible for SIU Scholarship
and Activity A wards, 156 for Illinois Military Scholarships, 65 for State
Teacher Training Scholar ships, and 124 for university part-time employment.
Veterans receiving benefits number 318. Roughly 40 per cent of the Residence
Center students receive help through these sources.
In terms of possible growth factors, all evidence would indicate that an
enrollment of 4, 800 to 5, 000 students by the fall of next year would be well
within the realm of possibility. A partial breakdown would be as follows:
3, 100 credit students, 1, 400 technical and adult, 300 conference and short
courses, and between 200 and 500 extension students. Of the credit students
1, 300 can be expected to enroll in the day program with 300 of the evening
students enrolling in graduate courses.
Instructional areas that would seem to hold great possibilities for the
Residence Centers program are increased activity in nursing education, more
technical work, and an expanded program in the field of graduate instruction
with some emphasis on business.
With the additon of seven new faculty members, the Winter Quarter , re.gular
full-time teaching staff of the Centers includes 24 doctorates (63 per cent).
Midwestern universities account for most of the 103 degrees held by the 38
regular full-time staff members, but 13 of them are from Eastern universities,
including Harvard and Yale, and four are from universities south of the MasonDixon line. Thirteen of the faculty took at least one degre e in a university
west of the Mississippi. Not included in the count are the Centers 1 six nonteaching registrars and business officers.
Dean See's report on the Winter Quarter showed a net increase of four
per cent in total enrollment for all types of programs. Full-time day student
enrollment increased slightly more than four per cent. Graduate student
enrollment gains of slightly more than 11 per cent occurred simultaneously

�- 6 with a net drop of 21 per cent in evening credit course enrollment. Total
student enrollment in credit courses showed a net de c rease of two per cent.
Adult and technical student enrollment increased 22 per cent, principally
because of an incre a se in 11 in-plant 11 and civil defense programs.

EDITORS RE.QUEST HOUSE ORGA N S
The editors inv i t e per s onnel, edu c ation, and training directors to submit education and training pro gra ms that they f eel would be informative to
other companies. They ask als o to be put on the mailing list for the house
organs of all industries receivi n g this bulletin. Such an exchange of ideas
should prove to be rnutua l ly bene ficial.

CHELSEA BAILEY LEAVES SIU
After two years as Supervisor of Industrial and Adult Education at SIUis Southwestern Illinois
Campus, Chelsea Bailey resigned, effective July 30. On August 1 he returned to his old ,lob in
Cincinnati where he was Director of Relations with Industry for the Ohio College of Applied
Science, He had been away from that job four years, two of which were spent in Baghdad, Iraq,
pioneering a new technical school.
During his two years at SIU Baileyis imagination and enthusiasm built a fine program. Most
of the readers of Industrial News Bulletin know personally of the success of these programs.
Two years of vigorous service were capped by a July vacation on the snow-white beaches of
the Virgin Islands, where he visited his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.
In leaving, Mr. Bailey expressed his confidence in the IndQstrial and Adult Education programs and his gratitude to his many friends in industry and at SIU for their contributions. The
cheeriness, blarney, and vigor of this traveling Yankee will be missed l
We shalt always be indebted to him for putting the Industrial Management Program on a good
solid working basis. Good luck, Chels l

E. R. CASSTEVENS TAKES OVER INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNICAL PROGRAM
On August 1, as Chelsea Bailey left for Cincinnati, Ohio, Emery R. Casstevens, formerly of
Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble, officially assumed his duties as Supervisor of the
Industrial and Technical l?rogram . Casstevens, an Annapolis graduate with a degree in engineering, has been active in industrial training in the metropolitan area for the past thirteen
years. Prior to that he spent eleven years in the Navy, including four years at the U. S. Naval
Academy, Annapolis, Maryland.
University teaching is not new to Casstevens. His experience includes teaching at the University of Michigan, Miami University in Ohio, U. S. Naval Academy, and, more recently,
Washington University,
Also of value from a training standpoint is the wartime experience of having trained the crew
of a new ship and then, as commanding officer, taking the ship to sea for extended duty, once
with a sub chaser and once with a destroyer-escort.
Another highpoint in his training career he says, was pre-production training of the supervisors and crews for four new chemical plants while with Proctor and Gamble.
Recently he has been teaching in-plant courses in the Industrial and Adult Education Department on a call staff basis. During the past three months he has completed a specialiy tailored
course in "Industrial Report Writing" at Monsanto Chemical Company and three courses, also
tailor-made, on "The Supervisor and His Job" at A. 0. Smith Corporation. "The emphasis in
all in-plant courses," Casstevens says, "is to design the course to suit the specific needs of the
plant we serve. "
BAILEY'S DUTIES SPLIT IN ORGANIZATION CHANGE
The duties of Chelsea Bailey, Supervisor, Industrial and Adult Education, have been split up
in an organization change effective with Bailey's leaving August 1, 1959, according to Dr. Harold
W. See, Vice-Preaident, Southwestern Illinois Campus. Emery R. Casstevens will be responsible for the Industrial and Technical Program, while the Adult Education Program will be split
between Robert W. Duncan, Supervisor of the Alton Evening College, and Virgil L. Seymour,
Supervisor of the East St. Louis Evening College.
•
Casstevens' duties will include In-Plant Programs; the Industrial Management Programs at
Granite City, Alton, and East St. Louis; and the Technical Program. The Adult Education Program deals with adult programs of a non-industrial and non-technical
nature
.

�IN-PLANT COURSE GENERATES TWO MORE
An in-plant "pilot" course on ''The Supe rviso r and Hi s Job" at the A. o .. Smith Corporation
generated enough interest that Paul H. Kelly, Training and Safety Supervisal, decided to schedule another. At the appointed time, Kelly, Chelsea Bailey, and Emery Casstevens, the instruc tor, gathered in the Conference Room to regi st er the prospects .
Encouraged by word-of-mouth reports of the "pilot" course and the company's policy of a twothirds refund of tuition for successfully completed courses, over thirty-five prospects enrolled,
The group had to be split into two classes,, a fine example of what good promotion, a sound company policy, and a well-conducted "pilot" program can do .
.
Both courses are now completed. Kelly had this to s ay of the r esults : 11 We feel that this
course and others conducted by SIU have made a sizable contribution to the improved performance of our plant during the past year, We have received a number of requests for other courses
of this type from the supervisors who participated."
INDUSTRIAL REPORT WRITING COURSE FOR MONSANTO ENGINEERS
Thirteen chemical engineers and supervisors of Monsanto Chemical Company's_\Wllllam G.
Krummrich Plant completed an in-plant "pilot" course in "Industrial Report Writing" on June
10, 1959, Like all in-plant courses, it was tailor -made to suit the particill'at needs of the plant,
Through arrangements with William A. Crutcher, Training Director , several conferences were
held with plant management to design a course of practical value aimed at the specific needs of
the group.
The course was taught by SIU's in-plant instructor, E. R. Casstevens. The emphasis throughout the twelve two-hour sessions was on practi ce with individual coaching, Commenting on the
value of the "pilot" course, Mr. Crutcher said, "Co-operation between the SIU staff and plant
management produced a course content that ke pt class interest at a high level. Co-operative
measurement of results of the instruction indi ca te s it has been effective and has provided leads
to changes that will make future use of the inst ru ction even more effective."
EDWARDSVIJ... LE CAMPUS SITE GROWING
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus site has now grown to 1115 acres, Dr.
Harold W. See, Vice-President for SIU's Southwestern Illinois Campus, announced on July 7,
1959, The University hopes to have 1800 acres pur chased by the end of the summer, he added,
See said that in addition to the land already. purchased, owners of 80 more acres of land had
received official notices of intent to buy and that the Univer sity was working to acquire additional
land as funds become available. Contributions, including gifts from industry and labor organizations, are being received each week, with total contributions approaching the $600,000 mark,
See said.
The $41,000,000 appropriation bill which Gove rnor Wllllam G. stratton signed July 6, 1959,
for the 1959-61 biennium included a $300, 000 item for en~ineering and architectural studies for
the new campus and a $500,000 item for renovation of existing University buildings in Madison
and St. Clair counties.
FACULTY SPEAKERS' BUREAU ESTABLISHED
The formation of a Faculty Speakers' Bureau as a community service was announced in January of this year by Southern Illinois University's East st. Louis Residence Center.
.
Ten faculty members from various fields of specialization are available for talks at meetings,
clubs, community associations, professional organizations, and "special interest" groups,
There are roughly fifty topics from which to choose. The selection of topics runs from "How to
Manage Your Money" to "Is the U.S. Leading the World?", "Have you Listened Lately?",
"Americanism, What Is It?", and "What is an Education?"
Groups interested in obtaining brochures which list speakers and topics may do so by contacting Clifton Cornwell, Assistant Professor of Speech, at Bridge 4-2100. Cornwell organized

SIU TO TURN AWAY STUDENTS AFTER 1960
Mounting enrollment will force Southern Illinois Unive rsity Residence Centers to turn away
prospective students after 1960, Dr. Harold W. See, vice-president of the university's Southwestern Illinois Campus, said April 27, 1959.
Speaking at a meeting of the Madison County SIU Alumni Club, at Alton's Horace Mann School,
See revealed that the University's centers in Alton and East St. Louis were faced with an enrollment of more than 4, 000 students this coming September, He stated that all available houses
were being converted into classrooms to accommodate the enrollment for this coming year, but
that after 1960 many prospective students would have to be turned away for lack of accommodation.
"Because the SIU centers cannot continue to accommodate the present rate of growth in enrollment, the communities in Madison and St. Clair counties have joined forces to work for an
expansion of university facilities here in keeping with the area's importance as the second largest concentration of population and industry in the state," he said.
PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
Educationhas been described as an investment in the future. Local companies who have a:ted
on this principle are listed below in the order in which their employees have participated in the
Industrial Management Program and the In-Plant Program of SIU. It is interesting to note that
many of these forward-looking companies also have made substantial gifts to the Edwardsdlle
Campus Site Fund.

              <text>A Day In The Life Of: Jean Kittrell&#13;
Watch out! Jean moves to a fast jazz note&#13;
Story and photographs by Sonja Kershaw&#13;
Spending even a few hours with Jean Kittrell gives insight into a life lived fully and well. Talking to her reveals a genuine person who experiences joy and sorrow with the intensity of the fully-alive. Recording a day in her life means to become completely overwhelmed by the accomplishments of her 24 hours - and her 55 years.&#13;
Kittrell has worn many and vastly different hats in her life-time - those of a housewife, mother, restaurant manager, grade-school teacher, secretary, doctor of philosophy, English professor, chairperson of the English department at SIUE, jazz pianist, nightclub singer - and some of them still hanging on her hat rack today.&#13;
"My day begins anywhere between 5 and 6:30 a.m.," she says, "depending on how late I stayed up the night before. And first of all, I do my exercises."&#13;
Evidences of the seriousness of her exercise program are all over the living room of her small, artfully remodeled home in a secluded, wooded section of Edwardsville. A Schwin exercise bicycle with a reading stand holding the current Atlantic magazine stands opposite the piano. Barbells - a three-pound set and a six-pound set - are scattered over the soft white rug. One is used as a door-stop. The physical fitness manual of the U.S. Airforce on the cocktail table is open to her favorite exercises.&#13;
"I do all of that every morning," she say and demonstrates 'till she is out of breath.&#13;
"And I jog, too. All around the rooms. And the table. And in place right here. Still in my pajamas." She throws the phrase over her shoulder while doing a combination jog and goose-step on her "track" of three interlocking rooms.&#13;
Then she has breakfast, a cup of coffee and a soft-boiled egg and toast. ("Always a soft-boiled egg.") She fills her thermos with coffee to take to the office - she hardly ever has lunch - and leaves for SIUE. By 8 a.m., she enters the office of the English department on the third floor of the Peck building. Her office, past that of the two secretaries, affords a beautiful view of the campus, but Kittrell rarely has time to glance out the large corner windows that are graced by plants. &#13;
"Sometimes I'm finished by 5 p.m., but quite often I'm still here at 8 or 9 or 10, and sometimes even 11," she says and smiles. "And sometimes on the weekends, too."&#13;
Besides the duties of the position of chairperson for the English department, to which she was recently appointed for one year, then elected for an additional three-year term, she has taught four English classes in the last three quarters.&#13;
"My life usually goes in 10-year cycles. I taught at Carbondale for 10 years. Another 10 years here. After four years of this, who knows..." She shrugs her shoulders and smiles in happy anticipation.&#13;
At least twice a week throughout the year and three times in the summer, Kittrell leaves her office on time. Between 5 and 7 p.m., she changes from her business suit to casual slacks and a loose shirt</text>
            </elementText>
            <elementText elementTextId="11826">
              <text> her pulled-back hair now relaxes in ringlets around her pleasant, chubby face. Barefoot and without her wire-rimmed glasses, she looks like a suburban housewife. A glance at her mail - no letter today from daughter Camille - and she fixes a quick dinner. &#13;
"I love Greek food," Kittrell says. "When I have time, I fix chicken with olives. It's good and quick to make for a bunch of people."&#13;
Today, Thursday, she has barely enough time to change into what she calls her "fringe" before leaving her house at 7 p.m. At 8 p.m., she sits at the piano on the riverboat-restaurant, the Robert E. Lee, which is anchored on the Mississippi at the foot of the Arch. She plays there with three different groups two nights a week throughtout the year, three nights in the summer, from 8 p.m. until midnight, and Saturdays until 1 a.m.&#13;
Today, the Combo is rounded out by Bill Houston, who quietly concentrates on the solid sounds of his bass guitar, and John Becker with his banjo, who tosses his charm alternately at his listeners and at Kittrell, occasionally bantering duets or verbal asides. Becker and Houston are both in their 60's.&#13;
The sound is jazz, and sometimes a little bit blues. The songs are nostalgic or barber shop melodies.&#13;
"Second-hand Rose. They call me second-hand Rose," Kittrell belts. Her fingers, trained singe age five in classical music, fly assuredly over the keys of the piano. &#13;
"I'm wearing second-hand clothes," she continues the song. Her dress tonight - golden, cascading fringes hugging her ample curves, the skirt split all the way up to the piano bench - is definitely not second-hand. ("When time allowed, I used to make my own costumes.") The fringes dance with every movement.&#13;
Mainly Kittrell smiles. It is not a "show-biz" smile. Her eyes smile. The smile comes from within. She smiles because she enjoys herself, her music, the people, the atmosphere. &#13;
"I just love the river and the boats coming by," Kittrell says.&#13;
In private life, on her private stage, her smile is the dominant feature, too. Her smiles flashes in SIUE meetings, in classes, in the National grocery store, or at Jack's Phillips 66 gas station. She smiles at life and people because &#13;
Jean Kittrell loves life and people.&#13;
It is impossible to spend a day with Jean Kittrell without getting a glimpse into her eventful past. The story of the successful "golden girl" is a surface view</text>
            </elementText>
            <elementText elementTextId="11827">
              <text> Jean has depth of character. She has worked hard to achieve her academic success. She survived two divorces, the deaths of her parents and brother and the suicide of one of her daughters, committed after four years of mental illness. She neither shuns these subjects nor dwells on their tragic aspects.&#13;
"My brother was killed in a B-17 over Germany. It just about destroyed my parents. He was such a perfect son for my father. He wanted to step into the family business. He was good with figures, handsome. He had just about everything going for him."&#13;
She paused in memory, then continued.&#13;
"But, you know, I really admired my parents after that. They could have turned to me. They could have smothered me with protectiveness. They didn't do that.&#13;
"My mother spent the last four years of her life with me. Came up from Alabama. Brought a lot of her bushes and plants from the old place. See, they are still growing here. She stayed the first year with me, then three years in the house bought next door. She made me a quilt."&#13;
Jean leads the way into what she calls her "family room." It is a bedroom. The quilt is spread on the brass bed. Pictures of her daughters and her family, her own baby pictures, some in gilt frames and the stiff poses of yester-year's photography, grace the walls.&#13;
"The patches are from her clothes, from my father's shirts. See, here is a label still from his vest lining." Jean's hands lovingly stroke the material.&#13;
"I wish I had known at the time what she was doing," Jean said. "She left me a legacy. It took her about the whole year before she had her heart-attack."&#13;
She talks only of her first husband, with whom she said she had "12 years of good married life." He introduced her to jazz.&#13;
"I was married for seven years before I even knew he played the horn," she said. He was a university professor with a PhD in economics.&#13;
"When he wanted to play in public, I said, 'Okay, I'll play with you 'till you find a professional accompanist.'" She broke into laughter. Her only experience in vocal music had been in church, where she sang solos and in the choir. &#13;
:We had some good times with our music. The three-week engagement in Duesseldorf, Germany, was marvelous. The German people in 1959 were so much more receptive to jazz than Americans at that time.&#13;
She turns to look at some pictures her daughter Rebecca painted. "Flowers. They look Japanese, don't they? I remember Monther's Day. Rebecca had put flowers forme in every room of the house. The whole house. Filled with flowers." She spreads her arms to embrace house and memory. Her eyes sparkle, moist with emotion.&#13;
"She had not bought them," she continues with a wide smile. "She picked them up behind the nursery where they put the discards that aren't quite good enough to sell anymore. They were still good flowers, you understand, just not good enough to sell. Now, that is love. Not a name signed under a bought card. The whole house full of flowers! It was lovely."&#13;
Jean does not put the grief over Rebecca's mental illness and suicide into words.&#13;
"People don't know about mental illness. I didn't either, before. They think it's something you can control. They think, 'Snap out of it!' 'Why can't you cope?'"&#13;
Taking the example that her parents set after her brother's death to heart, Jean does not cling to her daughter Camille, the only family she has left. Camille, now 27, is a journalist and film critic for the Sojourner, a quarterly magazine in Boston. Despite the distance, they are very close and meet several times a year</text>
            </elementText>
            <elementText elementTextId="11828">
              <text> next month for a vacation in Florida.&#13;
"After Camille had worked so hard at Washington University - she made Phi Beta Kappa while working 20 hours a week in addition to her studying - she thought she needed to rest her braine for awhile. So she worked as a waitress for a year. She found out she needed her brain as a waitress, too."&#13;
Jean shook her head in amusement and laughed. "Well, she saved her money," she continued, "and went on a journey around the world. She spent $4,000 in nine months for transportation, food and board. She made friends everywhere and stayed with them for awhile, then moved on. She really loved Thailand. It must be beautiful. In Jamaica she lived off the land for three months. Climbed trees. For coconuts, you know. There were other young people, in fact, an international set, living off the land in the same way. &#13;
"She still does adventurous things. Her is her latest picture. I would've had a fit if I had known." The snapshot shows a tiny spread-eagled figure floating among the clouds from a colorful parachute.&#13;
The love which Rebecca expressed with a houseful of flowers on Monther's Day comes from Camille in a college essay that fell out of her writing portfolio.&#13;
"You may read it," Jean says, "but don't quote from it."&#13;
The essay was written for a school writing assignment. It described Jean in a character profile. Despite its factual, unemotional journalistic style, it is in content a love poem. Only near the end, when describing Jean's strength at the funeral of Camille's sister, does the author admit that "Jean" is her mother.&#13;
"I believe some people are born lucky," Jean says. "I was lucky. Am lucky. Lucky to have been born into a warm family. Lucky to have had so much love."&#13;
She glances at a few lines of Camille's essay, and her eyes brim.&#13;
"I haven't read that in awhile."&#13;
She blinks.&#13;
"I told you how lucky I am.&#13;
"Now you see."</text>
