Pre-publication notice--February 2000 Responsible Citizen by Mary Graham Clark Mary Graham Clark died February 16, 1999, at age 87. She had been quite active in family, church, civic and social life, professionally a university librarian. In her last three years she was one of the Iowa City Press-Citizen Writers Group. Her 38 published opinion columns and other writings are in the Iowa Women's Archive at the University of Iowa. Expressing her lifetime philosophy with lasting impact far beyond the pages of the newspaper in the "great conversation" of public affairs, Mary's perspectives on peace, simplicity, and environmental stewardship often are recalled in her weekly prayer group at West Branch Friends Church and in other circles. Now her columns are being published by her husband Franklin and their children. The book includes a foreword by Franklin and passages by Mary from their joint autobiography Whence and Whither (1986). The title of the new collection is from the closing words in her autobiography: "I have become a responsible citizen." (Soft cover, 100 pages. ISBN applied for. $10 plus postage.)
