We retired to our home in Pennsylvania. Both my husband and I are finding it difficult, though, to retire. My husband takes consulting and interim management positions and I have become an obsessive volunteer. I work at the election polls as majority inspector from 7am to at least 10pm twice a year. I am a volunteer docent at the Parry Mansion in town from April through December. I am currently the president of Partners in Progress, Inc.--a small, not for profit organization focusing on quality of life issues. The assistance we give to New Hope is in the maintenance of public monuments and works; combating community deterioration, and lessening the burdens of local government without political affiliation.
Finally, in my retirement, I was found by Penny Banner and was invited to the CAC reunion where I was awarded a plaque and Legendary Status in the Wrestlers Hall of Fame. Actually, the story of how I was found is cute. My daughter Fyffe, was surfing the web and came on a wrestling web site with a picture of a black girl and the name Ethel Brown beneath it. She sent off an email stating that Ethel Brown is her mother...and this girl is not Ethel Brown! That lead to Penny Banner, and after a brief exchange between Fyffe and Penny, I contacted Penny and wound up going to the reunion.';$link_text = '';$link_title = '';$link = '';$pic_heights = '276,352,323,385,323,316,443';$pic_alts = 'Ethel Brown, a pioneer in the world of women\'s wrestling, was as tough in the ring as she was beautiful.,,After wrestling, Ethel trained to become a dialysis nurse...a position which she enjoyed for more than twenty years.,,Ethel has Cora Combs\' in pain as she works over her legs and back.,,Ethel Brown was one of the first ladies to prove that a wrestler could be tough in the ring...and a knockout outside of it.,,Ethel with the legendary June Byers.,,Considering that Ethel\'s first career was bending and stretching people into submission, it\'s ironic that her following career involved healing them. ,,Ethel backstage in Clarksburg, West Virginia.';$intro = 'In a career that spanned the late-40s to the mid-50s, Ethel Brown was a trailblazer in the sport of women\'s wrestling.

Ethel\'s career started at 18 years old...when she went from a screaming, ringside fan to an inside-the-ropes competitor within a matter of months. What followed was a whirlwind of tough matches, awesome victories, grueling defeats and, of course, the injuries.
