Description
Margaret "Peggy" Casey was born in Louisville, Kentucky where her father was the city editor of the local newspaper. She grew up amidst all the excitement of the Kentucky Derby, which she recalls in the interview. Peggy attended college at the University of Wisconsin during World War II. She describes the atmosphere and what it was like during her years in college. After graduating, she worked for an aeronautical company, Curtiss-Wright, where she helped build planes for the war. By 1952 Peggy was married to Walt Casey, whom she met through her sister, and they had moved to Las Vegas. In the interview, Peggy discusses what the environment was like in Las Vegas for a woman raising children. She describes what grocery shopping was available, and how she sewed most of her children's clothing. Peggy's children got involved in different activities. Mike had asthma, and he started swimming at the Paradise Park pool, which was built around 1960. The aerobic effects of competitive swimming developed his lungs. Steve was into horses and actually delivered newspapers on his horse. Her daughter loved horses also, and owns them to this day. In 1959, Peggy joined the Mesquite Club, which is the oldest federated women's club in Las Vegas. The club planted trees, started the public library, and was involved in many worthy causes. She also became a Master Gardner and has helped in many gardening projects around the valley. Peggy gives a great account of her life in Las Vegas, and that of her family and friends. At the end of the interview Peggy gives her thoughts on Las Vegas today, comparing them to her memories of Vegas back in the 1950's and 1960's.

Transcript of Lois M. Goodall by Judy Harrell, November 12, 2013

Description
Lois Goodall, wife of the fourth president of UNLV, Dr. Pat Goodall, speaks with pride when recalling her early life, marriage, and involvement with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She grew up in Odessa, Missouri, with a father who was a farmer and a teacher mother, went to college to become a teacher, and her freshman year met a young sophomore gentleman by the name of Pat Goodall. They married and while Pat attended graduate school at the University of Missouri, she taught fifth grade. After Pat earned his Ph.D. they moved to Arizona State University, where he taught political science, and then to the University of Illinois, the University of Michigan, and finally to UNLV. Lois, as the president's wife, enjoyed hosting various celebrities and faculty, was responsible for raising three children, and, miraculously, found time to earn her Master of Education degree in reading education and curriculum. She received her Master's hood from her husband, the president of the university, at her graduation. Expressing enthusiasm, Lois Goodall shows great delight in UNLV's growth and development. The university's Hotel Administration is second to none, and subsequent programs such as the addition of a law school imply maturity and expansion. She also admires the generosity and far sightedness of such individuals as Jerry Mack and Parry Thomas who not only funded the Thomas & Mack Center but purchased surrounding land so that the university could expand economically. Marjorie Barrick, another philanthropist, gave money for lectures benefiting faculty, students and community and also established the Barrick Scholar Award for students and Distinguished Scholar Award for faculty. As she describes the university's development, it is obvious that Lois Goodall remains one of UNLV's greatest supporters.
