REECE
Continued from p. 1
political beat, which included war news from the ROTC, and the scientific research beat at Snow Hall.
Then came the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the beginning of World War II for the United States. Reece and friends were at secretary Fred Elsworth's home for a buffet when the news broke.
"Someone came in and told us the newsboys were calling 'extra' on the corner," she said. "One student ran down to get a paper. Before we took spring break, there were casualty lists." One of those casualties was her brother.
John Taylor Dyatt was a KU pre-med student who went off to be a bomber pilot in Europe. His wife was one of the bells of the campanula.
After the war, Reece and her husband, Bill, moved to Topeka and then to Scandia, her husband's hometown - population 650. There they have lived since, raising four girls. Reece did volunteer work of every kind, including work on the school board. She also carried on
the tradition of education in the home.
"We were always going on some outing or doing some activity that was intellectually sound," said her eldest daughter Deanell Tacha, former KU vice chancellor for academic affairs and now a judge for the U.C. Court of Appeals, 10th Circuit. "I remember the day when it Dog Pitch Week (after cartoon character L'Al Benere's hometown). It was winter; we were on school vacation and Dad was gone for a week.
"Mother said. 'Let's not do the dishes or any chores. Let's wear jeans and T-shirts. We'll eat what we eat and we'll lie around and read books."
"When we came up for cir, we talked about what we were reading and laughed. I read four Faulkner books. It was a riot."
Reece continues that tradition with her 14 grandchildren. About a year ago, she took the four eldest on a Mark Twiny odience to Missouri. They agreed to read several of Twain's books, study how rivers influenced settlement and learn about the music that came up the
Mississippi River, in return, she took them through the Mark Twain Caves at Hannibal, on a riverboat ride and to Twain's boyhood home.
'One of a kind'
Reece entered national politics by working for Bob Dole's first campaign for Congress in 1960.
"I was asked why I got involved in the dirty business of politics," she said. "I feel if you are an American citizen, you are in politics. We have forgotten we are the ultimate deciders in government."
Dole remains a strong supporter of Reece.
"Marynell is one of a kind," the senator said. "Never looking for headlines, Marynell went about her business with the class, selfless enthusiasm that impaled one that ever worked with her."
Another longtime friend has been Republican Sen. Nancy Kassebaum. Through the years, Reece has given Kassebaum advice about political appointments and issues.
"I've always had a lot of confidence in her interpretation of the issues," Kassabbe said. "I urged her to run for governor in 1982 and that she felt my confidence in her ability."
"I have a certain sense of timing," she said. "It's time to do other things."
Reece views her retirement from political office on Jan. 29, Kansas Day, as simply freezing her to delive into more areas.
Although she'll never lose her involvement in politics, she also plans to speak and write about educational, environmental and health issues. She'll continue to serve as treasurer for her husband's company, Reece Construction Inc., Inc. And she'll sort through the family's history before turning it over to KU's archives.
This fall, the Kansas Council of Economic Education gave her the distinguished service award for economic education.
"I have a deep commitment to good education in Kansas and the Midwest." Reece said. "Students learn how to get along with each other coast for quality education."
Garmar's mother, Marguerite Duntz, El Dorado, said her daughter was doing an internship this semester at a home for Alizemers patients in Kansas City.
"She was just an ordinary person who loved fishing and camping with her sons," Duntz said.
Garman worked as a beautician and at the Texaco Oil refinery in El Dorado before attending Butler County Community College for one year. She enrolled at KU three years ago.
