In a 1979 piece about "power couples" in the Madison area which included an interview with my parents, my Dad, who was a contractor at that time, told the newspaper:

"I'm not saying the work I do is unimportant--it isn't, but if I wasn't doing it, somebody else would. What Anne is doing is something that has already changed the world in some small way--it is something which will last." Today, he calls his wife, correctly, a "national treasure."
