Description

Ms. Duvall retired to a place she loves--the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, where she is active in advocating for the environmental protection of a unique park of public and private land. She spends her leisure time walking in the woods and paddling her lightweight solo canoe on the clear, serene lakes and rivers of the Adirondacks.Spanning a period of 35 years, Ms. Duvall earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, a Master's degree in Operations Research, and a Ph.D. in Information Studies. Fresh out of college in 1960, she began her career in the computer software field as a programmer, expanding her responsibilities for the next 40 years as a systems analyst, manager, and researcher.
