Carolyn Powell Kirby grew up in the
Maryland suburbs of DC and returned to
the area in 1969, when her husband,
Michael, went off to Vietnam. She has
had several careers since that time, settling
in local government 20 years ago.
She is the special taxing district coordinator
and grants administrator for the
Anne Arundel County government in
Annapolis. While she enjoys her work,
her real love is community theatre. She
has been involved behind the scenes for
the last 16 years and serves as treasurer of
the Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre.
The Annapolis Capital newspaper recognized
her as the “Volunteer of the Week”
this past June.
After graduation Michael R. Kirby tried
law school, spent three years as an Army
officer (serving in Vietnam) went to
work for the federal government, and got
a master’s degree in government from
George Washington University. He
retired from the IRS in November 2000
with a Commissioner’s Award and soon
thereafter began work as a special assistant
to the chief financial officer of the
District of Columbia. Continuing his
attachment to small but excellent colleges,
he has adopted the Naval
Academy as his local favorite. Mike also
tends to two house rabbits, loves
Annapolis and Pacific Northwest floatplanes,
and suggests that Wake Forest
alums in Seattle and Portland, OR,
invite him to visit them.
