Biographical Sketch

Maryann Duggan was born on October 25, 1925, in Lubbock, Texas and passed away on May 20, 2000, in Boise, Idaho. She was a scientist, researcher, and librarian. Her parents were Mary Gladys Norton Duggan and Campbell Jackson Duggan, a title and abstract specialist in Littlefield, Texas. The Duggans were pioneer families of West Texas. Maryann earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and biology. She worked for Mobil Oil as an analytical chemist for twenty years. She was a researcher for SMU as a technical information specialist for small businesses in Texas. As a librarian she worked for the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education in Boulder, Colorado and as a consultant to the Library of Congress and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. In 1976, Maryann moved to Boise, Idaho and worked for the library of the Veterans Administration Medical Center. In 1999, she published her last work. Entitled "From Whence We Came, Thus We Are," it dealt with the Duggan family.
