College, Twenty Years Later
Doreen Lorock was born in 1934 near Governeur. During the Great Depression she remembers going to her grandparents house and finding nothing to play with. She and her friends had to make up their own games. She loved being outside and she went swimming a lot, and loved to pick flowers and berries. As a teenager, she worked at a restaurant baking many pies every Sunday.
At age sixteen, Doreen graduated high school. She got accepted to Cornell University and SUNY Plattsburgh, but her family didn't have enough money to send her there. She got married at age eighteen and started having children. Doreen ended up not going to college until decades later. She graduated when she was 40 years old at the same time as her oldest son.
