Elsie Read-Aitchison
Sometimes we run into people who are selfless in their devotion to God and His work. Elsie Read was one of those. She learned of and embraced the Israel message from listening to Professor Edward Odlum’s radio broadcasts. Intrigued, she began to visit the Association offices and this led to her volunteering her spare hours for everything from clerical duties to writing for the magazine. In later years, she met and married Reverend Herbert W. Aitchison and began volunteering full time to the work. Her organizational skills enabled the Association offices to run smoothly. She served as Secretary of the Board for many years until her retirement in 2000.
