Alexandra C. Wallace always believed that one’s education had to encompass a foreign language and mastery of it. She was a graduate of UC Berkeley and then pursued a career with Pan Am and United Airlines for twenty-four years. Her skills in business and languages, mainly French, Spanish, and Cantonese led her to great achievements throughout her career. She unselfishly gave of her time as a volunteer at the Princess Alexandra Orphanage in Kowloon, Hong Kong and at several other charitable foundations. She stressed education, assisted many young children and youth in striving towards and achieving their goals. Although diabetes severely shortened her life, her legacy is now available in grants and awards to those who will be selected by the FLANC Committee to continue their studies in a foreign language.
