Now That I Am Older

Myrne Roe has had a series of careers that would be enough for five people. She sharpened her writing skills as a teacher, congressional staff director, university public relations administrator, editorial writer, and nationally syndicated columnist. Winner of awards for her poetry, she has compiled and edited several anthologies about Kansas people. Radiating Like a Stone: Wichita Women and the 1970s Feminist Movement is a gold mine of the history of Wichita. Now, as an octogenarian, she has gathered some of her poems and short stories, reflecting her life work. She was married to the late Jon Roe for 59 years; they have one son, Matthew.
