She was an excellent bartender, so good she ran the Kelso Elks before she hurt herself and had a surgery that kept her from fully returning to anything work related-but kept the house spotless and us well fed. She taught me everything to be self sufficient, rely on no one, never be beholding for anything-yes, I still sew my own pants, cook, clean, the wife loves it too...
