Correspondence includes letters to and from supporters of the UND home economics program and letters to cooperating teachers participating in student teacher placements.

Collection Historical Note
"Glinda Crawford, Professor Emerita of Sociology, passed away Jan. 13, 2016, at home in Kirksville, Missouri, surrounded by her family. She was 67.
Glinda was born September 7, 1948, in Kirksville to Jack and Dorothy (Brenz) Bloskovich. She attended Kirksville Senior High School, graduating in 1966. On December 30, 1966, she married the love of her life, Richard Crawford, who served as a Professor of Biology at UND. To this union their daughter, Melanie, was born.
After earning degrees at both Northeast Missouri State (now Truman) and Iowa State, she served on the faculty of the University of North Dakota from 1975 to 2005. In her early years at UND, Glinda was in charge of the Home Economics Education program. She served as national president of the American Vocational Association and was recognized as a Leader by the National Home Economics Association. In 1994 she developed an Environmental Studies and Outreach program. Among her favorite classes to teach were Living Lightly on the Earth and Ecofeminism, which were highly popular with students.
Glinda was beloved by students and she often involved them in special projects. One of those projects resulted in the establishment of the Soaring Eagle Prairie on the UND campus. She was treasured by many as a mentor and friend, and her heart was always open to all who came her way. She had a very creative spirit and wove beauty into every aspect of her world. She was an artist, quilter and gardener; Earth mother, mentor, and community builder. She deeply loved to restore native prairie and watch it thrive with grasses, butterflies, flowers, and other critters. The beauty of her work remains and she will be missed by many.
She was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her husband, Richard, her daughter, Melanie, son-in-law Dave Greene, and two step-grandchildren, Isabel and Calvin; her brother, Brian (Diane); the Crawford family brothers-in-law, John (Connie), Hollis (Deleta), Gerald (Connie); and numerous nieces and nephews."
