She began studying piano seriously at the age of seven; she also studied dance with Avramenko. Oksana earned a B.A. degree from New Jersey State Teacher’s College, a M.A. degree from Columbia University and completed work in Art History at New York University which led to further deeper studies and a Ph.D. degree from the Ukrainian University in Munich, Germany.

Following a quarter of a century of continuous activity UNWLA Branch 72 of New York City celebrated its 25th anniversary at an annual dinner dance held last Fall at “Soyuzivka” resort. This was the first of two jubilee events on the Branch’s calendar. The second was its gala musicale. A "quarter of a century” has a connotation of a long time span, yet the 25 years almost seem like yesterday. At the anni versary dinner, speaker Mary Dushnyck, the first president of Branch 72 reminisced about the group’s beginnings, its ac complishments in the past and its hopes for the future. Since its beginning Branch 72 has contributed greatly to the Ukrainian community through its cultural, educational and welfare programs. In its programs it adhered to the UNWLA principles to preserve and promote Ukrainian traditions and culture, to provide humanitarian aid and to uphold the ideals and aspirations of a free and independent Ukraine. Co-founded by Mary Lesawyer and Mary Dushnyck, Branch 72 was officially organized on January 10,1962 in NYC, with 14 American born women present. The following people were elected to Branch offices: Mary Dushnyck, president; Mary Lesawyer, vice president; Lily Bochonko, secretary; Anne Bez- korowajny, treasurer. The auditors were: Stella Klawsnik, Anna Kosciw and Olga Liteplo. The other seven charter members were: Dorothy Chupa, Anne Dachuck, Anne Roberts, Sylvia Karp, Dora Pifko, Sofie Carpluk and Ann Marko. During its first year of activity Branch 72 undertook several projects. The first major community event was a 9-window exhibit of exemplary Ukrainian artifacts at the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. This exhibit received wide acclaim from the public and from the American and Ukrainian press. The Library called it “the prettiest exhibit we ever had.” The second cultural event was the musicale, which since then has Shown at the Ukrainian Museum on December 12, 1987 is a group of Branch 72 members.
