Khaki Brownell
Khaki - Katherine
Dodge Brownell - was my mother's sister. A medical doctor specializing
in childrens' rheumatic heart disease, she graduated from John's Hopkins
Medical School back in the days when that wasn't done, when women of her
class stayed home and obeyed their husbands. She was a colonel in the
US Army and played an important role in post-war relief in Greece. She
married George Abbott Brownell, a New York corporate lawyer and former
brigadier general who was (among among many good civic works) a principal
founder of the National Security Agency
(NSA). Aunt Khaki and Uncle George were active with Leake
and Watts in New York City.
