  • Introduction

    My mother was the oldest of two daughters. She was a very beautiful and refined woman with very good taste. She was, also, very practical. You could say that my mother was the "salt of the earth". You could, also, say that my mother always knew the right thing to do. She was a very good cook and homemaker and her real "job" in life was as a mother. She took her responsibilities very seriously and it was important to my mother that people thought that we were well brought up. My mother was a loving, devoted wife to my father and a very devoted family person. She had a lot of friends and was admired in the community. My mother had a regal bearing and always seemed to me to be the most elegant person in any room. She was generous and charitable. An amusing story that my sister and I heard about our mother is that, in her teen years, she once wanted to go somewhere, at night, and her mother didn't want her to go, so she climbed out of the window. Several decades later, her oldest granddaughter, Suzanne, did the same thing! My mother had very high standards for her immediate family and fiercely protected us if anyone hurt us. She, also, had a dry sense of humor. My mother was a sophisticate, despite having married at age 20 and she loved cultural activities, especially theater- and movie-going. Her love was very deep.

In 1933, Mildred was just 15 years old when Frances Perkins became the first woman to hold a cabinet-level position, appointed by President Roosevelt to serve as Secretary of Labor. She told him that her priorities would be a 40-hour work week, a minimum wage, unemployment compensation, worker’s compensation, abolition of child labor, direct federal aid to the states for unemployment relief, Social Security, a revitalized federal employment service, and universal health insurance. President Roosevelt approved of all of them and most them were implemented during his terms as President. She served until his death in 1945.
