"My mom, Lorraine Stumne Crowley, who as a single
parent for all but the first 10 years of my life, raised 8
children back in the day when women did not work
outside the home. She couldn't even get the phone or
utilities in her own name back then. Through it all she
maintained her dignity, her fairness (which was
very hard when dealing with eight children with a 12
year span) and above all, her humor. She never
finished high school but her lifelong love affair with
learning is what inspired us all to continue our
educations to this day!"
