Shirlee Ingalls (we apologize for the poor quality of the image\u2014it's from a cell phone video.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Born with spina bifida, Shirlee Ingalls<\/strong> spent much of her life as an exemplary mother, social activist, and undaunted optimist in a wheelchair. Shirlee, who passed on in late November, was also a longtime Keene student, beginning in 1974 and taking a course or two each year until the fall of 2004.\u00a0 She took a break for a few years and then enrolled in a class with sociology professor Dr. Margaret Walsh<\/strong> in the spring 2010 semester, so she touched many lives here at KSC. “She was such an inspiration,” Dr. Walsh recalled. Shirlee’s ultimate ambition was to be a licensed social worker.

\nHere are part one<\/a> and part two<\/a> of a presentation Shirlee gave to students in Dr. Walsh’s social problems class in 2010. The video quality is poor, since it was shot on a cell phone camera, but you can see Shirlee speaking about her work at the community kitchen and the need to help poor families locally.<\/p>\n
