As a woman with seven children, you had to be extremely tough.

And she was.

She was very well known as a resilient and tough lady who happened.

My grandmother happened to be friends with a union leader in our town.

And she said, oh, yeah, that man has been in love with me since I was 15 years old.

And and so I said, well, can you set up an appointment for me?
