Radiant: The Dolores Jean Gibbons Story

The Dolores Jean Gibbons story, as told by Milton Lee Pritchard Snyder, PhD. This book was developed for the family historical record of today and for posterity, and to give Dolores great credit for her commendable life. It is my privilege to place this essay into print. Dolores has no biological off-spring to appreciate her personage or soul, but she is rich in generations of extended family. In the future it is important for them to know about her many accomplishments in education and her personal history. Dolores’ educational administration career has been remarkable.
One reason for writing this essay pertains to the issue of women in major leadership positions in education, political, religious and military groups. Some senior males, women and others sometimes fail to conceptualize and accept a woman’s leadership in today’s society. Evolving civilizations understand and demand more gender equality, and that women and males can be equally competent in the world of management and leadership in the highest local, national and international positions.
