Lois and the Lady
by Eva D. Folkert
Millions of liberty-lovers saw the celebration from IVXManhattan’s Battery Park. Millions more watched the hoopla on television. They watched the rockets’ red glare that streamed from barges around Liberty Island. They
watched as the world’s largest armada crowded the harbor, from tall ships to dinghy boats. They oohed and aahed as America threw her biggest birthday party ever for the great green Lady of New York Harbor. And once the celebratorsmoved to Liberty Island to
finally see the renewed Statue, Lois Lema ’ 80 watched over them. As a national park ranger in the law enforcement
division at the Statue of Liberty National Monument, it’s
Lema’s job to keep a watchful eye on the country’sgrandest
renovated site (and sight).
It was a festive weekend that Lema simply called “busy,
very busy. ’’Thousands of people were eager to jam into the national park that had not been theirs to visit for over a year-and-a-half.About 15,000 spectators looked up to the Lady at her reopening on July 5 when Nancy Reagan cut
the ceremonial ribbon.
“That weekend was just nuts with all the people and
publicity and everything else,” Lema says with a little shake
of her head. “But it was still a lot of fun. The fireworks
were great. And it was nice to see the park full with people
again. It was different, though, to swing from an island with just construction workers to — boom — visitors. And not just visitors, but a lot of visitors.
“But the excitement is really just getting started now. I
mean, you can see it walking all around here,” she quips as she looks to the lines forming around and up the stairs
to the Statue’s crown. On that day it was a two-and-a-half hour wait to the top. The elevator was out of commission. Everyday since the golden but gaudy Liberty Weekend filled New York’s harbor, ferry boats have been filling Liberty Island by midday, “peaking out” the park with several thousand visitors.The rangers’ usual 12-hour shifts
have blown into 14 to 18 hours. It isn’t uncommon for the security officers to have 50 hours of overtime alone.

After serving two years as the dean of admissions, he became the coordinator of freshmen studies in 1980, a position he has greatly enjoyed ever since. “I see so many fine young people, and I have the opportunity to talk with them about anything that is on their minds. I envision myself as a residentgrandfather, a person to whom the students can turn to with the assurance that I will talk plain, talk straight, without threat or discipline.” That self-perception is echoed in the voices of the many students that he has helped. Junior Diane Tetlow was asked if she ever spoke with Dr. Fredrickson. Her response was an immediate.“Yes, and it may sound funny, but he was like a grandfather to me, making me feel very comfortable, listening and offering specific advise.” Although Dr. Fredricksonhas not been trained in counseling, he has read much in the field and definitelyserves students with his strong empathetic listeningskills. To him, the non-threatening, open, and warm environ- ment that he creates is an essential part of his personality and position. “I want the students to be able to come to me at the first sign of impending trouble. I want to be able to help them before the problem gets so big that it seems impossible to resolve.” Fredrickson’s hats are many in an office meant for one.
