94 Years and Counting
On December 23, 1930, a cute little brown-eyed girl was born in Fort Worth, Texas. And as she started her journey of growing up, her parents divorced when she was 7 and her mother began the journey of single mom. However, that didn’t deter her mother from providing a good life for her daughter or herself as she had siblings that were able to help her care for her daughter during the school year. And when summer rolled around, that little girl traveled with her mother throughout the eastern half of the U.S. visiting all the accounts that her mother was the sales rep for in the cosmetics industry. She managed to visit 33 states by the time she had graduated from high school at 16 and had met many amazing people, including President Franklin Roosevelt in the White House - but that is a story for another time.
