Prior to coming to Hawaii in 1978 Caroline lived and worked in the New York City area for many years. Her  positions included: Research Assistant with the Indian Delegation to the United Nations for 10 General Assemblies; Coordinator at the Poetry Center of the 92nd St. YMHA and then Long Island Coordinator for the New York State Program “Poets & Writers In the Schools”;  MCaroline’s knowledge of Oceanic art  proved timely as a volunteer at the Robert Goldwater Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art prior to the opening of the Michael Rockefeller Wing of Oceanic Art. 

She is currently a member of the Bishop Museum Association Council and the Pacific Arts Association.

 

“I recall with great appreciation your lecture on Micronesia, which set a high bar for the rest of us...

Mainly because you blended your scholarship with your humanity better than the others...

You are a real adventurer lady, a quality I have long admired!

I am not just a little jealous for the places you have been...I am not doing so bad, but I know you have me beat in many fascinating parts of the globe!”

 

Travel well my friend!
