Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) celebrated alumna \u003Cstrong\u003EAnne Marie Eaton\u0027s \u003C\/strong\u003E100th birthday at the school\u0027s annual holiday celebration on December 5, 2007.  During the festivities, School Chair Chelsea White presented Anne Marie with a certificate of appreciation, recognizing her and her husband Paul\u0027s devoted and faithful service, steadfast dedication, and generous support to Georgia Tech and ISyE.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAnne Marie, Georgia Tech oldest living alumna, turned 100 on November 26 and has always been a lifelong friend of the Stewart School of ISyE and an advocate for education.  In her words of thanks to ISyE faculty and staff, she stressed the importance of learning, stating \u0022No one can ever take an education away from you.*  She and her husband Paul learned hard lessons of resilience as they migrated to the United States from Nazi Germany in 1938.  In fact, her continued learning has allowed her to reinvent herself as mother and wife, methods analyst, import\/export manager, Tech faculty wife, college student, gerontology expert, and author.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn 1942, Anne Marie and Paul enrolled in Georgia Tech\u0027s evening school to study a new field called industrial engineering.  Under the War Manpower Act, Anne Marie studied industrial engineering at Tech for two years while working for companies such as Sears, Lockheed, and Rich\u0027s department store.  Paul joined ISyE\u0027s faculty in 1948, becoming a Fulbright professor and rising to international prominence in the field.  Anne Marie later earned a master\u0027s in sociology with a minor in gerontology from Georgia State then returned to Tech in 1987 to study psychology.  \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAmong her numerous achievements, Anne Marie helped start the nation\u0027s largest Life Enrichment Center for seniors in DeKalb County, work that led to the Georgia Senate naming her 1999\u0027s Distinguished Senior Georgian.  She has represented DeKalb and Rockdale counties at a White House Council on Aging and has served as a representative on aging issues to Germany.  In the 90\u0027s, she established the Paul Eaton Scholarship to support undergraduate students in the Industrial and Systems Engineering School at Georgia Tech.  \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Stewart School faculty and staff celebrated a full century with Anne Marie Eaton, Georgia Tech\u0027s oldest living alumna, and paid tribute to her and her husband\u0027s faithful service, steadfast dedication, and generous support of Georgia Tech and ISyE.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ISyE Celebrates a Century with Anne Marie Eaton"}],"uid":"27216","created_gmt":"2007-12-11 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:03:49","author":"Ruth Gregory","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2007-12-11T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2007-12-11T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"50065":{"id":"50065","type":"image","title":"tfw96578.jpg","body":null,"created":"1449175348","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:42:28","changed":"1475894445","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:40:45","alt":"","file":{"fid":"126876","name":"tfw96578.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tfw96578_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tfw96578_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":43964,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tfw96578_0.jpg?itok=yG5YQnwb"}},"50066":{"id":"50066","type":"image","title":"tsp96578.jpg","body":null,"created":"1449175348","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:42:28","changed":"1475894445","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:40:45","alt":"","file":{"fid":"126875","name":"tsp96578.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tsp96578_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tsp96578_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":35940,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tsp96578_0.jpg?itok=tUlz15B8"}},"50067":{"id":"50067","type":"image","title":"birthday cake close up","body":null,"created":"1449175348","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:42:28","changed":"1475894445","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:40:45","alt":"birthday cake close up","file":{"fid":"126874","name":"tjb96578.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tjb96578_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tjb96578_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":33894,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tjb96578_0.jpg?itok=2hrMzRbv"}}},"media_ids":["50065","50066","50067"],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[{"id":"8009","name":"100"},{"id":"4442","name":"birthday"},{"id":"8008","name":"Eaton"},{"id":"4104","name":"holiday"},{"id":"167205","name":"Stewart School"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["bchristopher@isye.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
