Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your work here! You did a great job organizing the sections for sense, including references in places Wikipedia's policies would require them, adding an image, creating in-text links to other established Wikipedia articles, and copyediting. I think a citation would have been helpful for the second half of "Organizations." Also, biographies begin with a section that states the "significance" of the person's life: see the Biography Manual of Style. I know you didn't have a lot of information to begin with on this exercise, but keep that in mind going forward. I bolded the text in the rubric to align with your submission. You're welcome to delete everything I've written in your sandbox when you want to. Thanks!

Fannie Simon (1891-1980)
This is for an assignment please let me know if there is anything that could be done to improve on this article.

Early Life and Career
Fannie Simon was born in New York City on April 15, 1891, the daughter of Julius and Bertha Lina Gubner. Her father emigrated from Germany on July 11th, 1885 and made a prosperous living for his family as a clothier. Thus, Fannie Simon grew up in Westchester and Upper West Side, with live-in servants and horseback riding in Central Park with her brother, Alexander. In 1930, Simon moved to the Murray Hill section of Manhattan, where she would live for fifty years. Fannie attended Smith College, graduating in 1914, and began working two years later, first in advertising and then in the magazine industry, primarily as an on-staff librarian.

When she retired from McCall's Magazine in 1959 as librarian and associate editor, Fannie volunteered much of her time to even more causes. At the time of her death, some included working as the coordinator of a program of conversational English for the English-Speaking Union.

Organizations
In 1932, Simon joined the Special Libraries Association, an organization she remained active in until her death. Fannie was elected into the SLA Hall of Fame in 1962.

Fannie was also an avid supporter of the Metropolitan Opera Guild and the New York Philharmonic Society, the New York City Republican Club, the Smith College Alumnae Association, the Church of the Incarnation, and her neighborhood association, the Murray Hill Committee.

Personal Life
Perhaps Simon's greatest passion was world travel, which began as a child traveling to Europe with her family. Shortly before she died, Simon remarked to a friend that she estimated they had traveled to over 150 countries, often alone. Fannie's last trip she took was to Iceland in September 1980. Fannie has published a few travel articles, but her full-length manuscript, "Following Fannie in a Changing World," remains unpublished. Simon died in a traffic accident in New York City on October 20, 1980 ; she was eighty- nine years old.
