Carrie Delaney

Carrie Delaney was a fourth grade teacher at the Early Dawn Elementary school in Washington, D.C.

Background
On Saturday morning, October 23, 2077, Delaney was one of several adult chaperones (in addition to Claudia, Mr. Cob, and Mr. Pollack) who escorted approximately half of Early Dawn's students on a field trip to the nearby attraction Lamplight Caverns. As the group was packing to leave, the lights suddenly went out and the cave shook. Mr. Pollack went outside to investigate, and upon his return reported that he saw mushroom clouds. Delaney correctly concluded that the world had come to an end.

In the weeks that followed, Ms. Delaney kept journal holotapes of the group's subsequent time spent in Lamplight Caverns. As the other adults ventured outside for supplies and information, never to return, Delaney eventually became one of the last surviving adults left to care for the 82 students taking refuge in the caves.

In a diary entry dated one month after the bombs dropped, her 10-year-old student Jason Grant wrote that Ms. Delaney had also left the caverns to seek help but had not returned. According to Grant, Delaney was the last surviving adult in Lamplight, and her disappearance left the remaining children to survive on their own.
