Also a natural leader, she volunteered and led many charitable groups including the Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, PTA, Cuddle Quilts, and Kappa Alpha Theta alumni. Among her many accomplishments, Louise was an excellent bridge player and respectable golfer with two hole in ones. Louise entered the University of Maryland after high school and graduated in 3 1/2 years Magnum Cum Laude so she could marry her husband Bill as he was entering the USAF for pilot training.
