Doris Styche Sweet was born, and continues to live in the greater Baltimore, MD area. Her sister is in Charleston, SC; daughter and husband locally in Harford County, MD; and grandson with his partner and daughters reside in the Philippines. She has a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and is now a retired Program Manager from a computer manufacturer. She was a designer and implementation manager of complex information technology projects for the government. During her career, she was introduced to the joys of traveling for volunteer service by her husband, Donald. Upon his death after sharing nine expeditions, her grandson, Don, carried on the tradition by joining Doris for thirteen projects. She has completed an additional five with others and nineteen by herself in the past almost forty years.
Doris continues to volunteer locally and was inducted into the Maryland Senior Citizens Hall of Fame for assisting the Maryland Public Television (MPT) network as well as many theater and cultural institutions in Baltimore. More recently she was included in an article “Defying Expectations” in Baltimore Style Magazine, featuring adventurous seniors.
