by Witold Fitz-Simon Senior Alexander Technique teacher Marjorie Bartsow (1899-1995) was a graduate of F. M. Alexander's first teacher training in 1933. Born in the United States, she returned to the US after finishing her training, and eventually settled and established her teaching practice in her home town of Lincoln, Nebraska.

This video from 182 was made when Barstow was 83. In it she talks about her introduction to the Technique and how she came to meet F. M. Alexander.
