While stationed in Flagstaff , Arizo- na, O’Donnell did trail work in national parks, cut down massive Ponderosa Pines that were infested with bark beetles and camped for several days at a time. She also developed a love for environmental preservation. When O’Donnell’s term of service ended two years later, she’d accumulat- ed several thousand dollars in education credit. She didn’t want to waste it, so she “took a stab at the LSAT.” Photograph by David Laprad “While I was grappling with what I Emily O’Donnell has gone from Legal Aid to the Public Education Foundation to The Women’s Fund, where she is now executive director. wanted to be, a family friend, who’s an at- torney said, ‘Emily, only priests are called. e rest of us have to get a job, so take the LSAT and go to law school.

An internship with the Environ- mental Protection Agency crushed her aspiration. “ e lawyers I worked with never went CHATTANOOGA BAR ASSOCIATION CHATTANOOGA to court,” O’Donnell says. “Most of them were researchers and writers, and I had learned through mock trial that I liked courtroom advocacy.” After moving to Chattanooga to escape Atlanta, O’Donnell found work as a staff attorney at Legal Aid of East Tennessee. ere, she advocated for clients who were in danger of being evicted, represented victims of domestic violence and resolved other sundry dilemmas for the indigent. Like O’Donnell, becoming an attorney was the farthest thing from Hoff ecker’s mind as she started college. Instead, she intended to become a forensic pathologist.

But Before introducing the content of Volume 2 I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the readers who manifested their appreciation for our first Volume. In terms of both, feedback and copies downloaded, the September Insect Poetic issue is to date our most successful.

  • Fantasy Review Would Long Since Have Given up the Struggle
    FA NI TASY REV It VV Vol. III. No. 15 ONE SHILLING SUMMER'49 EXTENSION In discussing the disproportionate production costs which hamper any publishing venture catering for a limited circle of readers, Mr. August Derleth, editor and publisher of The Arkham Sampler, announces the imminent suspension oI that valuable periodical. Which prompts us to point out that, had it been launched as a proflt-making proposition, Fantasy Review would long since have given up the struggle. Only the continued support of its advertisers-which made it possible in the flrst place-has enabled ii to survive and' encouraged by the tangible entirusiasm of its comparatively small number of subscribers, develop into somet'hing more substantial than it was in its first two years of life. The letters we have published since its enlargement give evidence of the desire of its readers for more frequent publication; and we wish we were in a position to respond to this demand. Instead of which, due to production difficulties which we are powerless to resolve at present. $e have to announce that it becomes necessary for us to issue Fa.ntasy Review a,t quarterly intervals, as a temporary measure. OnIy thus can we contrive to maintain both the standard of contents and regularlty of appearance which have made its reputation, and at the same time embark on the further development which is essential to its progress in other respects. At first sight, this might seem a retrogressive step. But although subscribers must now wait longer for each lssue' they wi]I soon be aware of the improvements which the less frequent publishing schedule will permit us to introduce as from the next (Autumn, '49) issue, which will see a modiflcation in the title of this journal the better to convey the greater seope of its a$icles and features.
