"It happened when I was very young. There were rumours about me in school being said by my next-door neighbours which weren't true. I came home very upset. When I told my dad, he took me by the hand and we went next door. We confronted the boys and he said, 'I understand you've been saying things about my daughter that aren't true. Is that right?' When they admitted they did, he demanded an apology and that they would never do it again. As their eyes and heads drooped, they agreed and I never had a problem again. I learned to confront any issue I had and never put my head in the sand. It has served me well. I am now 80 years old and I remember it well.'"
