Body:	<i>This is a deep subject, everybody... for some of us there may not be much to say and for others, a lot. For me, my fate was decided by 2 people, my mother and my great aunt (on my dad's side). The great aunt was named Trixie, she lived in Coronado, Ca. and had beaucoup bucks. I met her the summer of 1968 when I flew to California and stayed with her for 2 weeks. She declared that she would put me through college and give me all the help I needed to become a professional woman. My mother had other ideas. My mother was suffering from a fragile hormonal state, but none of us (including my mother) knew it at the time. My mother told Aunt Trixie that putting me through college would give me a big head, and my mother wouldn't stand for that. My mother allowed Aunt Trixie to pay for my books and tuition to ASU only. So I went to ASU (didn't want to go there, but I had no choice) and worked in Hayden LIbrary all the way through on a work-study program. I had a very rocky time of it with my mother from about 1967 - 1974, and if I'd left in 1969, I may never have patched things up with her. I wanted to study library science9probably at UofA) and become a librarian, move away somewhere else, and then write. Well, I write anyway, and I worked in pr for many years here in Phoenix, so it's hard to say how different my life would have been if I'd gotten my way. Feeling deliberately thwarted by my mother was the bitter pill, though. That was the arrow that pierced me. Is it a regret that I didn't get an advanced degree? Well, let me say this - from all my life experiences I have at least an MBA and a couple of M.A.s, and you can probably throw in a PhD as well. The topics would be journalism, oriental medicine, marketing and advertising, true spy stories and naturopathic health. I bet many of us could say the same! </i> *
