2025-02-06 00:00:00Z | Feb. 05, 2025 | Caroline Hassell, DAR | Camp Logan and the Evolution of Memorial Park | Feb. 06, 2025 |
Caroline Hassell is a 5th generation Houstonian. She graduated from St. John’s School, started at UT-Austin and then graduated from Stanford University. Her first job out of college was with a private rocket company (that rocket blew up off the Texas Gulf Coast). She earned her MBA from Rice and worked for Compaq Computer and TeleCheck until “early retirement.” She’s still pushing her kids towards “adulting” while she volunteers and does genealogy and historical research. She’s active in the Daughters of the American Revolution and another genealogical organization, and served as Regent of the John McKnitt Alexander Chapter of NSDAR for the past four years. She still volunteers for her children’s former schools and at her church. During Covid, she worked on some really “down-the-rabbit-hole” projects, one of which resulted into deep research on the 200+ Harris County Soldiers who died in World War 1. That led to more research on Camp Logan here in Houston. Caroline is now serving on an advisory committee for the Memorial Park Conservancy, which is planning Memorial Groves, the “remembering” part of Memorial Park under development and part of the larger 10-year plan started in 2015. Caroline’s husband Jim just retired. They have a techy son, a recent UT-Dallas Computer Science graduate, and a daughter (a recent grad of Lamar and the FFA program which has been supported by the West U Rotary for many years); she’s at HCC with a hope of working with animals in the future. |

Tour of the Caroline School at Easter Seals; recipient of our charity golf tournament this year. We’ll also see the smart technology lab, and Children’s Therapy Clinic. 9-10 am
Address: 4888 Loop Central Drive, Suite 100, Houston TX 77081 (Loop One Building). Parking: Sometimes there is parking available on the street. If not, park in visitors parking in the garage. They will validate your ticket. Also, some maps confuse the three buildings. We are in the last building closest to 610 frontage road on Loop Central known as Loop 1. If anyone wants to carpool, I suggest that we congregate at Buffalo Grill parking area (Wesleyan and Bissonnet) at 8:45 am.
