Tough Tarbell Trivia

[Rob Wick]

You got that right, Roger. She started around the age of 60 and went through to about age 68. I saw one itinerary where she had to leave one town at around 4 in the morning to get to another town to talk later that afternoon. She got $100 per lecture, which is about $2300 in today's money, but she needed every penny because at the time she was trying to help her brother dig himself out of a massive debt. He ended up living with her until his death, because in addition to financial problems, he suffered from some mental health issues, even holding the family at gunpoint on different occasions.
