Book reflects on ‘Women, Work, What Matters’
By JOHN SKIPPER
MASON CITY — Karel Murray remembers a conversation she had with her mother, Dolores Kew, shortly before her mother’s death.
As Dolores sat rocking in a lawn chair in Mason City, she noticed two squirrels chasing each other across the grass.
“People are like that,” she said. “They race after whatever they feel is important and don’t ever seem to stop to take a breath. I miss that.”
Murray, who grew up in Mason City, said her mother shared many truths with her in her final days. “I didn’t agree with all of them but I listened,” she said. Dolores Kew died in 2007.
Kew’s reflective views on life gave Murray inspiration for her latest book, “Hitting Our Stride: Women, Work and What Matters.” read more»
