| Abstract | Federal government employee Betty Grace Williams Currie was born on November 10, 1939, in Edwards, Mississippi and grew up in Waukegan, Illinois. She graduated from Waukegan Township High School's in 1957 and, later, attended Howard University, American University and Antioch College. Currie began her career as a clerical worker at the U. S. Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Illinois. Moving to Washington, D.C., she worked for the U. S. Navy and several government agencies before retiring in 1984. Currie volunteered for the presidential campaigns of Mondale/Ferraro in 1984, and Dukakis/Bentsen in 1988. In 1991, she joined the Clinton/Gore campaign in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1991. President-elect Bill Clinton appointed Currie as his personal secretary in the White House. In 1997, Currie testified before the special prosecutor's investigation of the Clinton/Lewinsky affair.
