Barrie, Florence Nightingale, George Eastman, Louisa May Alcott, and Mary Jemison.\u00a0 She has worked as a magazine editor in New York City, and her essays on a variety of topics have appeared in The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor<\/em>, and other publications.\u00a0 Ms. Aller is a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and lived for extended periods in Spain and France, before coming to Connecticut in 1979.\u00a0\u00a0 As a collector of antique children\u2019s books, she has been an active supporter of the Northeast Children\u2019s Literature Collection and the Billie M. Levy Travel and Research Grants endowment fund.\u00a0\u00a0Ms. Aller\u00a0participates weekly in a long-standing writers\u2019 group and is a member of the Saturday Morning Club of Hartford, a women\u2019s writing group founded in 1876.\u00a0 The NCLC is grateful for the support from Ms. Aller and\u00a0West Hartford Community Television.\u00a0 Thanks go especially to Nicholas Eshelman for all the\u00a0tech\u00a0work that made this\u00a0project possible, and also to Miss Billie for her help\u00a0in tracking down some of the\u00a0interviews for digitization and for supplying recent interviews for inclusion in the project.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
