Kathrine, my wife, is an unusual combination. Her father was from Windsor, Ontario, but her mother was a native Southerner. She was raised in Richmond, Virginia. She has an amazing appeal to animals. She walked every day and would find strays who would find her. She would dutifully bring them home where her mother said yes, at first, but she became more reluctant when she became ill with cancer. Kathrine would still bring them home and hide them while she was asleep. She was 19 then and 65 now and does not regret a single day of it!
