1970 to 1972.
"We need to preserve it."
Henry dresses up in Colo-
nial clothing several times a
year and tells stories to school-
children about life in the late
1700s.
Henry also helped start the
La Villita chapter's efforts to
provide American flags to
place on veterans' graves on
Memorial Day and Veterans
Day. She coordinates with the
National Sojourners, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, American
Legion and Boy Scouts to pur-
chase and place the flags.
After nearly 40 years of serv-
ice within the Daughters of
the American Revolution,
Henry said she looks forward
to its younger members pick-
ing up where she left off.
"People like me will still be
around to answer any ques-
tions they might have," she
said. "I don't want anyone to
think I'm trying to run the
chapter, but if we want the
organization going, we have to
train the younger people."
"I think we build on our
past. We need to
preserve it."

Member of the Daughters
of the American Revolution
But finding people with the
same work ethic may prove
difficult.
Henry, a self -described
workaholic, also worked as a
registered dietitian in addi-
tion to her volunteer activities
with the DAR, National
Sojourners, American Cancer
Society and George Bush Pres-
idential Library.
"I had a good example in
my mother," Henry said. "We
lived on a farm, and she made
our clothes, cooked and
worked all day. I didn't have
ready-made clothing until I
went to college. But she
enjoyed it. Both my parents
instilled in me that I could do
anything I wanted to if I was
willing to work hard
enough."
