How Long is an Appointment?

Appointments usually last an hour. But please free up time for Mickey to set up lights and cameras, hold the interview, and take some still photographers for in the project.

Yes is the simple answer to the question. Each appointment is set up as an individual session. Group sessions have been set up when I visited a senior living facility or many of the California Veterans Homes.

US ARMY MAJ Margaret Stevenson, born on June 2, 1932, proudly served in the US Army Nurse Corps. She graduated from Grossmont High School in San Diego in 1950. Subsequently, she attended the Nursing School at San Diego County Hospital, earning her Registered Nurse (RN) certification in September 1953. Her initial year of nursing involved caring for tuberculosis patients at a Native Service Hospital in Kotzebue, Alaska. After serving in Alaska, Margaret returned to the mainland and continued her education, enrolling in the nursing program at the University of Berkeley. In the spring of 1955, Margaret’s dedication to nursing led her to join the Nurse Corps. Following attending OCS in San Antonio, Texas, she was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. She served actively for one year, balancing her nursing career with raising a family. Later, she returned to school, achieving a significant milestone by earning her master’s in nursing (MSN). Her pursuit of knowledge didn’t stop there; she continued her education at UCLA, working towards her Ph.D. Meanwhile, in 1980, she reentered service as a Major in the US Army Reserves. Her commitment to healthcare and service remained unwavering. Margaret served with the 129th Evacuation Hospital in San Diego, California for three years, making a valuable contribution to her community and country. Later, Margaret continued her dedicated service, joining the 50th General Hospital in Seattle, Washington. She served within a reserve unit at the hospital for two years, further extending her commitment to healthcare and the military. After these five years of remarkable service, Margaret concluded her military service, leaving a lasting legacy. Margaret was not only a devoted nurse and soldier but also a loving spouse. She was married to Telford “Ted” Stevenson, an AM1 USN veteran of World War II. Ted’s service and dedication were so significant that he was featured in the 2017 Veteran’s Portrait Series, honoring his contribution to the nation’s history. His portrait can been seeing in the WW2 Gallery.
