The Legacy of Louisa McCune
by Lance McDaniel
Club 29 member Louisa McCune is executive director of Kirkpatrick Foundation. Her father, Edward A. McCune, MD, was a longtime member of Enid Rotary Club. In the mid-1990’s, her oldest sister, Allison, was one among the first class of three women admitted into Enid Rotary Club.
This column was supposed to be written by Louisa McCune. McCune was a renowned journalist, engaged philanthropist, dynamic community leader, and inspirational activist who passed away earlier this fall. The brief bio above is how she signed her final Rotary Reflections article from October of 2023.
That Rotary Reflection was called “A New Era for Psychedelics – Opening our minds to what’s possible in clinical settings.” The column was fascinating, well researched, thoughtfully explained, filled with cultural references, and supported by several prestigious academic sources. It was a perfect example of what made Louisa McCune so unique.
Louisa McCune was smart, quirky, extremely well read, and passionate to her very core about what she believed. She held a wide range of interests, unbridled curiosity, and a keen intellect. She possessed the ability to follow ideas down the rabbit hole to get to their essence. And she was willing to put in the hard work, year after year, to channel what she learned along the way into sensible solutions for illuminated issues. READ MORE
