She prefers not to handle the money. At one time she did and is very
capable. It is her choice for reasons I'm not going into here. She
likes it that way.

I could tell you about the time she took someone to court. The lawyers
were trying to negotiate a settlement when she had enough, spoke up and
laid out both lawyers. If was funny to watch as they both went to the
judge to say it was resolved exactly as she requested.

I could tell you about the time she took on the Monsignor in charge of
the Philadelphia Catholic schools and got changes made.

She is very happy the way things are in our life but she won't take crap
from anyone. She does not make cupcakes but makes a great pound cake.
