Does anyone know about her current life? I think I first read this many years ago- maybe 30 years. She must by now be a middle-aged woman. I read a few blog pieces, but they sound not unlike those from years ago.
Is this original Dolly's daughter?
She has a very appealing personality and character; her Dad should give thanks for hitting the offspring jackpot.
Sarah, super video!
Ha
OK, I guess she is the one on the left with the magenta blouse.Walkin, the book is an old topic of interest on the forum and there used to be an online complete copy available, but that is probably no more, now that it has been reissued. It is a charming story, albeit a bit baldly told (I really didn't need to know how to kill and dress a rabbit, but the homemade still sketches might come in handy one day).
I am so delighted to know that "Dolly" made such a great life for herself in the intervening years. I hope you enjoy the website and her blog. For a very long time, possum living was what we called what we were doing while paying off the mortgage. To this day, there are several color possum photos on my refrigerator to remind us of the value of living like a possum!
Another story, with photos, from January last year: Paige Williams – Journalism, etc. - Finding Dolly Freed - Possum Living
Finding Dolly Freed
From towards the bottom of the Paige Williams link. Italics mine.And Frank (her dad) ? His drinking worsened. He developed diabetes. The government took the house when he failed to pay taxes. He wound up in and out of halfway houses (at one, he routinely presented the cook with the quite legal gift of roadkill deer). Even as he deteriorated, he found a way to get by. When he had no money to pay for electricity, he knew how to get locked up for the entirety of the coldest months, to guarantee three hots and a cot. That was the last Dolly knew of him.
A few years ago, she got a call that some part of her had expected all her adult life. Frank had crashed his car into a tree while not wearing a seatbelt and was dead at sixty-one. He and Dolly hadn’t spoken in fourteen years.
Why?It would be interesting to know her investing style and performance.
