Greetings, ’00s! Congratulations to Katie (Uhre) Gregorio, whose first book was published last month. The Double Life of Katharine Clark is a nonfiction Cold War adventure story. A history major, Katie was inspired to write the book when she uncovered a family secret about her great-aunt, who worked as a foreign correspondent in Europe during the height of the Cold War. The first female American wire reporter behind the Iron Curtain, Katharine Clark risked her life to smuggle anti-Communist writings out of Yugoslavia and into the hands of American publishers.

A fun fact is that Katie’s freshman year roommate, Louisa Gilder, also wrote a book related to her major, which was physics. Louisa’s book, The Age of Entanglement: When Quantum Physics Was Reborn, was published in 2008. Katie lives in San Francisco with her family.

Send me your news and updates for our next issue!
