Bio History Note

Frances and Leslie Eisan attended Laverne College in the mid-1930's, and were students/mentees of Gladdys Muir.

Gladdys Muir took a personal interest in all of her students. She went to great lengths to stay in communication with her "family"--her "children" all over the world. It appears as if the Eisan's put this book together through materials received from Gladdys and from personal memories and stories that they had about her.

The archivist has been told that Gladdys Muir's father was an artist.
