In 1962 she went to Nepal with the first Peace Corps group & began what was to be a 38 year love-affair with Nepal. "I lost my heart to Pokhara and its people," she wrote in Thirty Years in Pokhara, one of several books she authored, mostly on Himalayan natural history but including two novels. She used most of her inheritance to build and maintain the Annapurna Regional Natural History Museum at Prithwi Narayan College in Pokhara, as a gift to the people of Nepal.
