I play with my grandchildren. I tend to my garden, which I love. Of course, I love to read, and family is really what it's all about.

I do think, where would kids be if it weren't for you and for the good pediatricians, and for the good parents?

I did it with my kids, and they're doing it with their kids now.

Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.
