BY ANDREW DOBELSTEIN Professor Emeritus Social Welfare, UNC-Chapel Hill
As his career developed, his relationships with well-known North Carolinians guided his growth as a respected faculty member, and his work with poverty issues brought recognition for his leadership. Dobelstein recounts his experiences with Ellen Winston, William C. Friday, Betty Baker, Eleanor Kinnaird, L.M. (Bud) Baker, John B. Turner and other Deans and faculty in the School of Social Work, woven throughout adventures of flying a small airplane in and out of the Chapel Hill airport, an adventure with mountain moonshiners, escapades of hiking North Carolina mountains, and struggling to help North Carolina implement its 1996 welfare reform.
This Book Contributes to the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the UNC-CH School of Social Work.
