biographies,memoirs,parenting and relationships,reference,9 - 12 years, Just Plain Dorothy : The Life of Dorothy Hunt Finley, Cowgirl, Teacher, Tycoon, Philanthropist, Dorothy Hunt Finley is an Arizona icon. As a child, she grew up in hard times on a cattle ranch in the wilderness without electricity, water, indoor plumbing or air conditioning. She lived through "the troubles," a time when her father and uncles were charged with killing a man during a real Old West shootout. From age four, she was on horseback herding cattle. She attended a one-room schoolhouse, became a teacher, principal, started a beer distribution company with her husband, and eventually became a major philanthropist. She has been on the boards of more than 50 nonprofit organizations and has received more than 30 major awards. She was the driving force in preventing the closure of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base by going to Washington, DC, and convincing senators to keep the base open. The book follows her life through the Great Depression, two world wars, her years at the University of Arizona, her time as CEO of Finley Distributing, and her fundraising and philanthropy for organizations like the Arizona Children's Home, the Tucson Children's Museum, the Tucson Medical Center and the Women's Studies Advisory Board. Born in 1920, at 88 years old, Dorothy Finley is still working with nonprofits and contributing to the growth of Arizona.
