Katherine "Bup" Greenwood, President of Nevada County AAUW

Host Suzanne Webb brings us an in-depth introduction to Bup, who grew up in Southern Nevada County raising cows through 4H to sell them at auctions at the fair. She says cows are not the smartest, but are nice. Childhood was fun on 40 rural acres, and a telephone party line shared with many neighbors. She studied philosophy at UC Davis, but then became a lab assistant at the UC Davis Veterinary school to continue her interest in animals from years in 4H. Helping new lab workers learn the trade motivated her to go back to school for a master’s degree and on to teaching high school English in Dos Palos, Turlock and Manteca. Retiring back to her home territory, Bup’s two-year term as President of the local chapter of American Association of University Women involves producing forums and programs on current issues of interest to women. In Nevada County since 1937, AAUW has been promoting education and equity and providing scholarships and mentoring young women for many years.
