Historical NoteReturn to Top
Shannon (S.J.) Moffat was a reporter and free-lance writer based out of Palo Alto, CA. She wrote medical and technical reports for universities and private companies in the U.S., including the University of Wyoming. Born Samuel J. Moffat in 1927, she served in the Navy during the Second World War, and graduated from Amherst College before moving to California in 1954. Her transition was life long, but became most pronounced between 1966 to 1985, when Shannon had gender confirmation surgery. She passed away in 2009.
