When Dame Sheila Quinn became director of ICN's newly established Social and Economic Welfare Division in 1961, Daisy Bridges retired as general secretary, only to emerge later on as an ICN historian. It was during the years that Bridges spent delving into ICN archives that Quinn passed many hours with her reminiscing about ICN's fascinating past. Quinn's interest in ICN's history grew when she became executive director and was later refueled by her eight years on the ICN Board. Quinn's real chance came when the Board in 1985 gave her a new assignment: updating ICN's history, the result being ICN--Past and Present, which was launched at the 19th Quadrennial Congress in Seoul in 1989. Below, her reflections. |
