Introduction Although Barbara Doran (b. 31st December 1953) grew up in a Philadelphia suburb, her mother and family are from Tyrone, a town close to State College, where she spent several weeks every summer with her cousins, swimming in Spruce Creek and exploring the hills. Her early-widowed grandmother went to Penn State, taking courses on weekends for years as she raised five children, until she finally got her degree in her early sixties. Her Aunt Florence also went to Penn State and graduated #1 in her class (not something her niece even came close to!) Education Business Nonprofit and Other
