18. I know she does not know me, but could you let her know how very proud

of her we all are?

A little story about women truckers: Many, many years ago, I was driving a large u-haul from Colorado Springs to Lake Tahoe. Stopped in Wendover for a break. In the restroom were two young girls, who were thrilled when they heard I was driving a truck, having never heard of a woman trucker (I know, u-hauls don't count! They thought I was driving a rig!). I told them that if that was what they wanted to do when they grew up, they could go to school for it. (Yes, even back in the dark ages, there were women truckers. One of my uncles (a long-hauler) worked with several.)

I hope I was at least able to let them see possibilites, not just pre-determined paths.
