The amazing miss burchfield - Malden, MA : Blackwell Publishers, jan./feb.2000

What goes around, comes around: the woman who once solicited other to produce manuscripts for PAR is now the subject of a manuscript. Laverne Burchfield was managing editor of this journal for 15 volumes, from 1943 to 1958, and in ASPA's early days before it had an executive director, she served as secretary/treasurer for the association and she wrote the proposal that funded the first executive director. This is her biography - a woman passionately committed to the world of public service, the world of ideas, simply, the world in its natural splendor
