Hernandez-Delgado Ms. Dane Guerrero June 2010 Revised: November 2014 3 �BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Marjorie Phillis Pearle was born in the Bronx, New York on February 2, 1934. She was one of two children born to Joseph Pearle (a certified public accountant and attorney) and Cecelia (Klein) Pearle, both of whom were Hungarian. Marjorie graduated from Hunter College High School on June 21, 1951, and subsequently received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in English and Anthropology from Hunter College on June 16, 1955. Marjorie’s academic success (Magna Cum Laude) enabled her to become a member of Phi Beta Kappa shortly after graduation. Marjorie continued her interest in Anthropology at Columbia University where she attended from 1955 to 1956, but failed to graduate from said university. On January 5, 1957, Marjorie married Herbert M. Katz which resulted in the births of son Daniel Seth and daughter Nina Judith. The marriage lasted 16 years but dissolved in divorce in 1973. After 3 years as a divorcee Marjorie met and married Norman Weiser (a radio producer and public relations manager) on November 26, 1976. Marjorie and Norman remained as a couple until Marjorie passed away in 1996. After leaving Columbia University in 1956 Marjorie accepted a post as an editorial trainee with The Rockefeller Foundation, Office of Publications, in New York City. Marjorie’s next assignment was with Funk and Wagnalls where she worked as an associate editor in the trade book department from 1957 to 1960. Between 1960 and 1978 Marjorie became a free-lance writer, but she continued to work as a development editor through 1990 with Beard Glasser Wolf (independent packager producing books on food and cookery), Prentice-Hall (Book Project Division), Cambridge Book Company (Simon & Shuster Educational Division), Chelsea House, and Worth Publishers. Marjorie was attentive, meticulous, productive, and excelled in completing publisher related assignments. While diligently working as a development editor with the aforementioned companies, Marjorie somehow managed to author and co-author a total of 16 books. Some of her key publications include Pegs to Hang Ideas On (1972), Shaped by Hands (1975), Ethnic America (1978), Womanlist (1981), and Snapshots (1984) to name a few. In a March 22, 1981, New York Times Book Review of Womanlist Marjorie explains the task of being an editor and writer: For me, the challenge of being an editor and writer lies in the opportunity to explore a variety of subject areas, and to present information to specific audiences. The joy of working both with ideas and people can be found in few other occupations – and here it produces a useful lasting product. Marjorie’s work as a development editor and writer did not deter her from being actively involved with the Alumni Association of Hunter College (1982 - 1990?), the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association (1973 -1990?), and Temple Shaaray Tefilia in New York City (1974 - 1990?). Marjorie P.K. Weiser passed away in 1996 and left a legacy of an individual who loved her family and friends and who cherished life with passion. 4 �SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Marjorie P.K. Weiser Papers primarily document her affiliation with the Hunter College High School (Class of 1951) and with Hunter College of the City of New York (Class of 1955). It also highlights her active and simultaneous participation with the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association and with the Alumni Association of Hunter College. The files that pertain to Weiser’s years at Hunter College High School and her subsequent participation with the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association include, among other things, notebooks on Biology and Hygiene (1948 -1951), committee minutes (1986 - 1992), reminiscences by select alums of their years at the high school, and publications that Weiser either wrote for or actually spearheaded; these would include Alumnotes (1979 -1996), An AlumNotes Extra (1987 - 1988), AlumNotes Reunion Extra (1990 - 1994), Hunter Hi-Lites (n.d.), That’s What’s Special (1990 - 1991), and What’s What (1951, 1980, 1987, 1990, 1992). The files that relate to Weiser’s undergraduate years at Hunter College include awards, report cards, research papers, and copies of specific Hunter College publications. Documents that are associated with the Alumni Association of Hunter College consist of correspondence, financial reports, minutes, etc. The Marjorie P.K. Weiser Papers provide researchers with an opportunity to comprehend the intricacies of student life by sifting through unique documents that were left by an extraordinary individual who attended and graduated from Hunter College High School and Hunter College during the first half of the 20th Century. 5 �SERIES DESCRIPTION SERIES I - BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Series I consists of biographical entries in Contemporary Authors (1983) and in Something About the Author Facts and Pictures about Authors and Illustrators (1994).
