Overall: I think the hook could do with a few alts, as having read the article, there are some other details that stand out to me as more interesting than the award she won. Feel free to ping me once some ALT hooks are written.Grnrchst (talk) 09:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
GrnrchstALT1 ... that Gladys Stone Wright, one of the first woman band directors in the United States, was the first one in Oregon?
SL93 I think the hook that she was "one of the first woman band directors in the United States" and that she was "the first one in Oregon" is a bit repetitive, I'd advise picking one. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Was 1948 her first year at the University of Oregon, or the year she graduated from the University of Oregon? Given her obvious energy and dedication, it's most likely that something significant in her life was happening between 1944 and 1948. One of the sources says she "transferred" from Willamette University, which may imply a relatively quick transition between them, rather than a gap of four years – but not necessarily.
