Judith Palache Gregory (1932–2017), also known as Judith Gregory, was an American writer, counselor, educator, and permaculturalist, who served as executor for Dorothy Day after lifelong friendship that began with her editing for the Catholic Worker.
[1][2][3][4][5][6] Judith Palache Gregory was born in Chicago, Illinois, on February 26, 1932.
In 1959, Day recorded in Catholic Worker, "Judith Gregory is, at present, in Tennessee, working for a while with Highland Folk School, which is fighting injustice and malice and evil on the interracial front.
"[7] After completing her M.Ed., she worked at the Harvard College Bureau of Study Counsel from 1962 to 1973.
[10] In 1975, she moved to Jaffrey, New Hampshire, studied permaculture with originator Bill Mollison, and co-founded Gap Mountain Permaculture Center and the Gap Mountain Land Trust.
Gregory's papers serve as important sources on the life of Dorothy Day.
When... asked if she had really drunk Eugene O'Neill under the table, she said testily, "When you stay up all night you have to have something to keep you going"... Dorothy was by no means always repressive and severe.
In the winter of 1962, some young people started a magazine called F--- You, and composed it in the Catholic Worker office.
They were taken in by the American Friends Service Committee, where they changed the name of the magazine to F--- Thee.
In the mid-seventies I wrote a book that was in a way a coming-out story, and I sent a copy to Bob.
