Biography

I am the daughter of John McBride Fraser and Jean Carol Hardman. I have a BA in mathematics from Swarthmore College and MS and PhD in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from the University of California - Berkeley. I was an engineering faculty member for 40 years at Purdue University, the Ohio University, and Colorado State University - Pueblo, where I was chair of the Department of Engineering for 21 years.

I am now failing retirement. I am active in local activist groups such as Clean Air Pueblo, the Southern Colorado Economic Development District, Pueblo's Energy Future, and the Renewable Energy Owners Coalition of America. I am a member of the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. With a business partner, I am co-owner of The Ethos, at 615 East Mesa Avenue, Pueblo, Colorado. We offer makerspaces, a sober bar, community hall, and commercial kitchen. I sew.

While I was born in New Jersey, most of my ancestors (including my father) were born outside the US, in Canada, England, Scotland, and Ireland. In about 2012, I was shocked to discover one line. through Oliver Stiles (1757-1833) and Rebecca (Peck) Stiles (1758-1850) that goes through Canada back to the colonies. Their ancestors didn't come over on the Mayflower, but they weren't far behind.

I seek to document and honor all these ancestors by placing their information on WikiTree and I am grateful to the WikiTree members who make this site so wonderful.
