When they were first married, my folks had a house in Madison.
The original property was farmland.
There were no trees; it was just open.
My mother wanted the kids, and the neighbor kids,
to have good places to play.
So, they bought hundreds of potted trees and planted them.
That group of kids built forts together
and climbed trees together and played together.
The gifts that she gave us, I'm immensely grateful for.
Mother had put together a living trust.
She wanted to continue to support
Wisconsin Public Television.
It had been an important part of her life,
and when she wasn't here anymore,
she knew there were some things that could go on
that would make life good or better for others.
It was so in keeping with the way she lived her life,
and I was proud of her.
