I have spent most of my professional life creating, writing, researching, and thinking on the highest possible level about quality of life, about giving, about providing, so that millions of people, from all economic strata, can enjoy beauty, good quality, well made products, and impeccably researched information about many hundreds of subjects which can lead to a better life and more rewarding family lifestyle.
The company was fast growing, well run, well managed, and without debt and it was productively creating how-to information and consumer products centered on my original ideas.

this is nauseating - using someone elses tragedy in her plea...

One of the two original producers of our one hour daily television show, Carolyn Kelly, was buried this past Tuesday, a victim of a cancerous brain tumor. She was just 43 and the mother of three young children. The other original producer spoke proudly at the funeral of their joint contributions and their helping to shape the vision, with me, of a pioneering, Emmy award winning, and how-to television show.

Quote:
As a child I was drawn to the novels of Willa Cather, Upton Sinclair, Dostoevsky and Gogol. I loved Cather's My Antonia and decided early on that even if I could not be a pioneer in a true Westward Ho! Manner, I could attempt to forge new territories for American business. I knew what American homemakers needed and wanted, because I listened.
...but it is very important for me to inform you that I never intended to harm anyone and I am dreadfully sorry that the perception of my conduct has caused my family, my friends and especially my beloved company so much damage.

"perception"??? indeed...
Quote:
And here we come, of course, to the conundrum, the problem, the Kafkaesque confusion. What to do?
The problem is yours, but it is also mine.
I ask that in judging me you consider all the good that I have done, all the contributions I have made and the intense suffering that has accompanied every single moment of the past two and a half years. I seek the opportunity to continue serving my community in a positive manner, to attempt to repair the damage that has been done and to get on with what I have always considered was a good, worthwhile and exemplary life.
My heart goes out to you; my prayers are with you, and my hopes that my life will not be completely destroyed lie entirely in your hands.

this letter is nothing but
"me me me - poor poor pitiful me"
this pathetic gasbag couldn't turn over a good compost pile let alone a new leaf - humility is not in her vocabulary - contrite,to her, is brand of brass polish - and yet, as she addresses the throngs in front of the courthouse, her statement turns into a fucking commercial...

i hope her new "sisters" show her how to properly handle a broom
