Fisher, Marion Hall

Before her marriage, Marion Hall worked for the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. Her future husband, Howard T. Fisher, was an architect and later the founder of the Laboratory for Computer Graphics at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. When Marion and Howard married in 1939, they each had previously read and relished Frances Calderón de la Barca's Life in Mexico, published in 1843. As a hobby that enriched their frequent visits to Mexico over a period of a quarter-century, the Fishers created the highly praised 1966 Doubleday edition of Madame Calderón's vivid classic Life In Mesico. After finishing that project, they turned to this biography, Frances Calderón De La Barca. Marion Hall Fisher and Howard T. Fisher had three children: Ann Bourne Fisher (deceased), Morgan Hall Fisher, and Alan Hall Fisher.
