Kathleen Connor Irvine
General Information
Occupation: Architect
Birth Country: Canada
Resident City: Ottawa
Resident State/Province: Ontario
Resident Country: Canada
Notes: "During the years with small children, I did not feel it would be to my benefit to pay the annual professional fee. Now much time has gone by, and the professional entrance requirements are so demanding that I hesitate and question the expense. In 1986 I am planning on a program of part time work for income and for contact with the professional world. Architectural interest has kept me going when times were rough. To a young woman of today 'Good Luck: Times are tougher now than they were in the fifties, but if abilities point to architecture, go for it!"
