Her many and continuing lifelong successes, awards, achievements, longevity... are a great big "screw you" to abusive, controlling and manipulative Ike.

She is genuinely an inspiration and I admire her so much!

So, that is the image of her I carry with me. Well, that and one of my bosses was absolutely in love with her, he had a full size poster of her on the back of his door. She was/is worthy of the adulation.
