Focus of Opening Changed to Mrs. Stockdales Life and Accomplishments

[edit]

The focus of the article should be on Ms. Stockdales life and achievements first, as the article is about her. Therefore the opening has been changed to reflect this priority. Citations also added.

Her husband can be mentioned, but (according to Wikipedia policy) only secondary to her, as the article is about her life.
