In our 2nd 50th Anniversary podcast, Kate and Jeannette get to hear stories from mother-daughter duo Sharon Hanley Disher '80 and Alison Disher Orr '10 - and they are only two of the five (!) Disher family members who are USNA grads. Yes, all five are Navy grads! If you haven't read Sharon's 1998 book, First Class: Women Join the Ranks at the Naval Academy, you should... but you should also listen to this podcast.

Join us as we learn what it was like to be both a grad and the mother of a female grad... and a grad and the daughter of a female grad. We talk about the similarities and differences between the experience of being a woman in '80 and the experience of being a woman in '10, the treatment of cheerleaders in 1976 and 2006, and the existence of phones in Bancroft Hall. So much has changed, yet so much hasn't. 

Thank you, Sharon and Alie!
