  She worked for the Montgomery County Sentinel where she created its Newspaper in the Classroom program and, in 1977, published The Sentinel Newspaper in the Classroom.
  Scotland project experiences and broader efforts to boost housing equity led to Siegel's appointment as a Board Member of the Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission (HOC). She resigned that position when asked to become HOC's Public Information Officer. 
  For several decades, under the nom-de-plumes Joyce and Alan Rogers, the Siegels did restaurant reviews for several Washington, DC, local newspapers. From this, they published four editions of Let's Eat Out, Montgomery County.
