Former Lone Star College leader to sign her book at Foundation event
Katherine Persson never dreamed that after her retirement as president of Lone Star College-Kingwood she would launch a second career as a published author.Persson will discuss her work and sign copies of her recently published first book,, at a special Lone Star Foundation event in the LSC-Kingwood Student Conference Center on Friday April 29 at 3 p.m.
“I wanted to write the book that I wish had been there when we went through our experience,” she said. The book deals not only the disasters that befell the three schools, but also tells the stories of human and institutional resiliency as the schools and the surrounding communities recovered from their respective disasters.
While Gulf Coast State College in Florida had likewise been hit by a devastating hurricane, it faced somewhat different challenges in its recovery than did the Kingwood Lone Star campus, Person said. “And they just don’t understand that was a year-and-a-half process to become whole, not only in terms of the buildings, but with dealing with PTSD for a whole community, including college employees and students. You have to acknowledge and honor that.”
