Kathleen Ingley
Kathleen Ingley never had an opinion in print until 2001. Then she made the leap from the news pages to the editorial pages. Besides the luxury of taking a stand on important issues, she relishes the chance to learn about everything from energy to Mexico to high school dropouts.
Kathleen, 51, began her career in journalism at business publications in New York City and San Francisco. She then became business editor at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. She joined The Republic in 1990 as a reporter covering transportation, growth, air quality and consumer affairs. She was lead reporter on the series “An acre an Hour: The Price of Sprawl,” which played a major role in the debate over Arizona’s rapid growth.
Kathleen has a master’s degree in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor’s degree in English and French from the University of Michigan. She spent three years in the Peace Corps in West Africa and taught English on a contract in Iran. After living in such different places and managing to get two daughters to adulthood (with the help of a terrific husband), Kathleen realizes that few problems have simple solutions.

| Our debt to Bill Moyers Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia." |
| Is Gaddi Leaving? Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors. |
| The Birth of the Peace Corps UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. |
| Charges possible in 1976 PCV slaying Congressman Norm Dicks has asked the U.S. attorney in Seattle to consider pursuing charges against Dennis Priven, the man accused of killing Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner on the South Pacific island of Tonga 28 years ago. Background on this story here and here. |
