Speeches and Lectures on the Assassination

[L Verge]

You just sent half my staff into spasms of laughter! We all had southern grandmothers and mamas (we're all female, so no wives) and remember well being on the receiving end of southern "reminders." My mom has been dead for five years, and there are still times when I do or say something and expect to hear a gentle reminder from her lips.

One of the most trying times of my life was a year-and-a-half interval when I had my 85+ mother living with me and my 21-year-old daughter at home after college and before marriage. I am of the firm belief that no two women - let alone three - should live in the same house once they are over 21. And when they are all "trained" Southerners, it is even worse!
