She says it will work for others. She puts service to others above herself.

LOSS OF HER SON, Robert Luke Jr., in World War II helped to channel Mrs. Luke's career as a homemaker to one of dedicated service to the ailing and disabled. She helped to found and headed the Gold Star Mothers in the Twin Cities. Wrhen her term ended ij 1952 as president, she became president of Tonawandas Auxiliary 264, American Legion. By then, Mrs. Luke already was active in her hospital projects. Mrs. Luke is the former Margaret Dorothea Brock.
