Don't Forget the Flippin' E (ePub)

Diane White was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1942, the year Casablanca first entranced movie goers, and the year Marilyn Monroe married her first husband.

In the 1970’s, Diane eventually tires of getting by on past glories - Spelling Bee Champ, Chase Elementary School, 1954, and Most Humorous Female, Kenwood High School, Class of 1960 - so, in 1962 she earns an associate degree in liberal arts (A.A.), and in 1975 another associate degree in nursing (A.D.), both from Essex Community College.  In 1982 she graduated from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland with a B.S. in science and a major in nursing.  In 1992 she earned a master’s degree from the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University.

Diane spent most of her working career at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), where she was a radiology film librarian, operating room nurse, diagnostic radiology nurse, and radiation oncology charge nurse.  She had been a CPR instructor for the radiology department and was a certified oncology nurse (C.O.N.).  She was a recipient of the T. Rowe Price Scholarship for employees working towards health careers.  For several years, she was a volunteer for the American Cancer Society, and volunteered in various departments at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, and at GBMC in Baltimore.

Diane is retired and lives in Maryland with her writer-husband, Pat Sheridan, and their dachshund - Mighty Aphrodite, and their dorkie (dachshund- yorkie combo) Winston Churchill.  Diane is “Grammy” to two granddaughters and ten step-grandchildren.
