description: In 1939, Bernice married Haldore Hanson. Together they spent more than 25 years living in Asia, Africa and South America. Haldore's work in economic development, primarily with the Ford Foundation, took them to Burma, Iran, Pakistan, West Africa, and Mexico. Berni's focus in these countries was on promoting traditional handicrafts. She was involved in developing rural cooperatives to support local artisans and arranging venues in urban areas for artisans to demonstrate and sell their work.
