TI: Well, we're coming up to three hours, and so I'm going actually end the interview now, because I think we're both getting a little tired. Is there -- but before I end it, is there anything else? It's like we covered the first fifty years of your life, and there's fifty more. Is there anything else that you wanted to say?

KK: What kind of thing?

TI: Anything in terms of, maybe when you think back to your life, is there anything that sort of stands out as being really important to help you get through these hard times?

KK: I think I had very good friends, somewhere or other. They... well, my sister was the biggest help, I think. She sort of took charge of all the stuff. And when I finally came to, why, I was amazed that everything was not in a big mess or anything. Everything was so nicely arranged and everything. I guess she must have wrote her about a lot of things. After... I must say that the kids were really excellent kids. Nobody got into anything horrendous besides a lot of scratches and bruises, but we got by. Everybody got married and whatever. So I think I was fortunate there.

TI: Well, and I think I heard that each of your children also got a college education also.

KK: All what?

TI: They all got, they all went to college.

KK: Yeah, they all went to college, yeah. And, well, it was really helpful that my husband had been very careful about finances. Because before he died, there was not a, not a mortgage or anything to hamper anything. Everything was just straight cash. So that was good. I didn't have to ever worry about the roof over our heads or anything, so that was very well done. But I don't know how he did it, but he did.

TI: Thank you so much for taking the time. This was really enjoyable.

KK: Well, I hope it was helpful.

TI: Oh, it was helpful, very interesting, your life. So thank you so much.

KK: Thank you.
