“[After her 18-day disappearance in 1974:] I love my husband very, very much, but he didn't ask me when he ran for mayor and he didn't consult me about running for governor. It would be nice to be asked. ... You know, I've been my mother's daughter, my father's daughter, the wife of my husband, the mother of my six children, and grandmother to my eleven grandchildren, but I have never been me. But I am now because I went away. I am a changed woman.” KnowsChildrenWould BeRunningMotherAsksFatherNiceWifeChangedHusbandSixDaughterAsk MeRanGrandmotherMy HusbandGovernorsBeing NiceGrandchildrenElevenMayorsDisappearanceAssertivenessLove My HusbandI Love My Husband Author:Angela Alioto
“I was always moved by all of the music. As a young man, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton, Count Basie and all these great musicians would come through our town of Memphis. There wasn't adequate hotels, so these musicians - the lady who ran the theater knew my mother, who had a large house, and many of them would stay with us. So that was another great blessing, so I'm always around these great geniuses, and to realize their humanity is such a touching thing.” MenYoungMotherHumanityHouseRealizingGeniusBlessingMusicianTheaterTownsMovedRanYoung ManHotelTouchingAdequateGreat MusicDukesMemphisGreat MusicianOur TownHamptons Author:Charles Lloyd
