Irene Landkof's son, Andy Jerison, contributed the following information to correct and clarify a few details in her history:

"She changed her name to Irene Landkof when she immigrated to the United States, and later to Irene Jerison when she married... Harry Jerison.... Irene began her college education at the University of South Dakota but transferred to the University of Chicago, from which she received her Masters Degree in Sociology. In 1953 she and her husband Harry moved not to California but to Yellow Springs, Ohio. (They moved to Los Angeles, California in 1969.) While she was a prolific writer, she was never published in Time Magazine and had only one story published in the Atlantic Monthly. This information is all in her Yellow Springs News obituary: http://ysnews.com/news/2011/01/irene-jerison."
