Mom gave me her ring from that famous
High School. She was so smart she graduated a year early.
She had no money so she went to City college. Then she got a full scholarship to study economics at the University of Minnesota. The famous filmmakers the Coen brothers' Dad was her professor.
I do not think there were many women at that time studying economics let alone getting a full scholarship and economics...
Their Dad gave Mom a camera to bring back to New York City to give to their Grandfather.
Mom dropped out of college to marry Dad. She was 11 years younger than him.
She did go back and finish getting her graduate degree in economics at Rutgers in Newark.
Very very sad tonight. I do wish I had a two bedroom I could keep her with me.
Very sad.
Thank you for your kind words...
for my Mom and me.
