Zoom Program
“Moral Development”
Presented by Dave Griffin

How one acquires one’s sense of morality takes time.
You will learn about the 4-step Moral Development
model and its relevance in how people relate to
conflicting issues today. Dave will tell us how he
navigated those four steps and give each of you an 
opportunity to share how you dealt with those similar
hurdles as you confronted them when you were
acquiring your sense of right and wrong.
Fascinating and insightful!

Member Spotlight

Mary Krook

Thank you for your kind welcome and invitation to introduce myself to the membership.  It is more like a reintroduction because years ago when we lived on East 3rd Street while raising our family, I belonged to The Womans Club.  At that time I was very impressed with the quality of life the endearing ladies who belonged were enjoying and found it very inspirational.  This is what has attracted me to 
rejoining as we recently  “retired from retirement.”
It’s almost as if you are asking me to write my obituary and what does one include from a very full life?  It’s overwhelming to me all of the places I have been and all that I have had the pleasure of doing.  
This is just a snapshot:
 Growing up I became the eldest of 12 children in SW MN and conditioned to being a caretaker from an early age, eventually graduated from St. Mary’s School of Nursing in Rochester MN.  My first nursing job was at the UM’s  only intensive care unit at the time under Dr. C. Walton Lillehei where I met my husband Jim who was a medical student and neighbor.  After we married, we moved to Durham NC where Jim completed a residency program in Hematology/Oncology at Duke & I worked in the Pulmonary/Renal ICU. Our son Jon was born there. During the Vietnam War, Jim received a deferment to become Chief of Medicine at the Public Health Hospital in New Orleans & I worked in the ICU.  Our daughter Kristen was born there.  Then Jim accepted a position at The Duluth Clinic as a cancer specialist and researcher and was in practice here for over 35 years.  Our youngest son Paul was born here.  During this time, it was my privilege to graduate from St. Scholastica with a BA Nursing followed by working as a Gerontology Case Manager at The Duluth Clinic between the whirlwind of volunteer and family activities.   Eventually we retired to our lake property in Barnes from which we launched our family into their adult lives and were involved in environmental concerns.
 Jon is now a critical care surgeon at Hennepin County Medical Center, married to Susan Reinsch with two children;  Jack 13, & Molly 12.
Kristen is a housing specialist for Dakota Country, married to
Travis Andersen with two children:  Mikayla 16 & Riley 14.
Paul completed his formal education by graduating with a Magista from The Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and is now teaching there in The International School.  He is married to Lucia Van Egmond and has two children, Riva 5 and Oliver 3.  
 As time has progressed, a conflict developed between spending time with grandchildren and being able to maintain our property in Barnes as we were not there that much.  During the Pandemic we have managed to sell our lake property of 38 years, scale down our workload and move into Duluth to an apartment at The Chateau.  Meanwhile an apartment became available close to our family in Salzburg to rent and we are looking forward to the time when we can once again get back into the swing of being with all of our grandchildren in their family settings.  Despite the limitations, the best part of The Pandemic has been the opportunity to simply “be,” watch the sunrise & sunset over the lake, rediscover hiking & cross country ski trails in Duluth, play the piano, try new recipes, read good books, & especially keep up with family through amazing technology.  It’s wonderful to be anchored back in Duluth again and I am especially looking forward to the educational programs and bridge at The Womans Club and getting to know its current endearing members.
