Alice Adele Vom Orde

She was born May 30th, 1949, in Bethesda, Maryland. Alice was the daughter of the late Col. Ewald Arnold vom Orde and Jule Hallie-Jesse Jones vom Orde. Alice was a lifelong learner and reader. She was Valedictorian of her class at Camp Lejeune High School. She was a graduate of Allegheny College. She then got her second bachelor's from University of Maine before finishing her master's degree in library and information science from the University of South Carolina. Alice worked as a librarian for many years with MSAD 47 school district in Central Maine, where she made many long-lasting friendships with her fellow librarians.
