When Elvis was performing, you just TRIED to figure out a way to get there. I think he set all the records and anyone that has ever had the GOOD fortune to see him, you know what it's like to TRY to get in to see Elvis. It was IMPOSSIBLE, PRACTICALLY.

It's SOMETIMES unnerving to think of that, and I wish it were possible for all children in the world to have the GOOD FORTUNE I've had in having a GIVING and LOVING family.

I had the GOOD fortune to be RAISED in the 1940s and the 1950s. As I entered business in the late 1950s and 1960s, America was just coming into its own as a GREAT industrial POWER. It allowed young entrepreneurs to START their engines, to start their businesses, to borrow a little money and to leverage what they had.

Nothing can PREPARE you for the all-consuming nature of motherhood, and I am very aware of my GOOD fortune, as I spent years fretting about whether I'd EVER meet ANYONE to have a baby with.

It was good fortune to be a CHILD during the DEPRESSION YEARS and a youth during the WAR years.
