Memories of Ivy Marshall
Ivy Marshall, KY '65 Ivy was one of the first VISTA Volunteers, serving in rural Appalachia, Kentucky, in 1965. During the years after her service, she collected her experiences building toward publishing a book.
She died without having finished the entire manuscript. Although, the sixty or so pages here, are a fascinating look at the early VISTA experience, as well as the woman, Ivy Marshall. Due to the length of the manuscript, the document has been divided into chapters, as Ivy wrote it.
Thanks to her son, Nathan Reese, we have her story.
