She describes life with her three children; two of whom are now dead one by suicide. There are entertaining stories of teaching preschool for nineteen years home-exchange travel and retirement bridging two centuries.</p>Smile or shed tears while reading the adventures and difficulties of a person who had some extraordinary life experiences while marching through time.</p>
