Yes, congratulations to Kathleen Gilmore. She is not only a pioneer 
inside the SHA but if you are a member of the Texas Archaeological 
Society (TAS) you read about her accomplishments all the time.

The news items mentioned she was the first woman SHA President. She 
was also the first woman to be honored with the J.C. Harrington 
Medal. I think she also helped Ed Jelks organize the key January 1967 
Dallas founding meeting for the society - Ed, am I right on that?
