In November 1967, she became secretary and executive assistant to Robert R. Wilson, the founding director of the National Accelerator Laboratory, and once again she helped establish a new scientific laboratory on a new site. In later life she moved to Colorado, where she served on the board of the Uncompahgre Medical Clinic. ==Early life== Priscilla Greene was born in Berkeley, California, on April 8, 1918, and grew up in Corning, California.
