b"didnt have any problems. There were one or two knuckleheads, but on the whole my staffs were good.In 1990, I was transferred to the authoritys Staff Development Program. While I was there, I was promoted tosuperintendent, as a provisional, making me the second female superintendent, after Ann Sabatino. Ann had retired, and there hadnt been any others. [Pat Rutledge, the second female assistant superintendent, died before she could bepromoted.] I was assigned to a small development, William Plaza, in Brooklyn. . . .In 1995, I went to the Bronx as superintendent of another small development, Murphy Houses. From there I wastransferred to Castle Hill Houses. This one was very large, with 2,025 apartments spread over 50 acres. It was one of thetoughest jobs I have ever, ever, ever tackled. But with the support of a supervisory staff above me, a difficult job was madevery manageable.Today, I look at the glass ceiling and see that things have gotten better, but not good enough. I have faith that theall-boys club will grow and it will become our club, like husband and wife, and well all become a partnership.\x02Kenneth FoxHHC, CookMember since 1980The following is an edited version of Kenneth Foxs oral history interview from June 20, 2016.
