Margaret Ellen Reese: school days


Margaret was a smart little girl, and pretty.  She always knew she wanted an affluent lifestyle, and even when she was in grade school she chose her friends carefully.  She told me when she was 11 years old that she wanted to be a doctor.  And nothing ever got in her way.  Not poverty, not boyfriends, not all the jobs she took as a teen-ager to make her spending and clothes money.  

She wanted to sell the most Girl Scout cookies, and make the best grades, and win the talent competitions.  She wanted  everybody to smile, and make the best of things.  And that's what she has always  done.
