BIOGRAPHY
Pauline (Skornicki) Kra, college professor, was born in Lodz, Poland on July 30, 1934, the daughter of Edward and Natalia Skornicki. The family left Poland in 1946, and and lived for a time in France before emigrating to Venezuela. Kra was educated in Venezuela, 1947-1950 and then at Cherry Lawn School, Darien Connecticut. Kra studied at Radcliffe, 1951-1953, (where she was a resident of Briggs Hall,) and completed her A.B. at Barnard in 1955. She married Leo D.
