I have my good friend, the late Maxine Richardson, to thank for my career at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Maxine was the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Officer at the National Cancer Institute when she hired me in 1980 as an EEO Specialist. I was working for the Baltimore Field Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission at the Rotunda in Roland Park, and this was my entry position into the Federal Government. Maxine took me under her wing to mentor me about the politics of the NIH, as well as how to maneuver the complexity of the organizational structure. It wasn't long before we were friends and sharing information about our families. Maxine and her husband, Wendell, both became very dear to me. In this episode, Maxine's daughter shares her memories of growing up in a blended family. She is the spitting image of her Mom!

Linda Wade and her brother, William, were fortunate enough to grow up in Turner Station, a community in the shadow of the Bethlehem Steel plant in Sparrows Point, Baltimore County. I say fortunate because residents of Sparrows Point and Turner Station had the highest per capita income in the country during the war years into the 1970s. It should be noted that Linda and William's father, Dr. William Wade, Sr., who referred Mrs. Henrietta Lacks, a Turner Station resident and considered the mother of modern biomedical research because of her immortal cell line, to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment of her cervical cancer.
