Nana Biography

Oh! Every time you go away, you pick up an awful lot. And I pick up a lot in New York and it’s really paid off. So, just go and visit other people and sit down and talk to them. It’s amazing what happens. Well, anyway, I enjoy that, and the turning point I mentioned was marrying John. I would say another turning point turning pro, there’s a loss of turning pro. I don’t know whether that means turning for the better or the worse.

It could be either. It could be definitely either.

Well, of course, when you get married is a turning point anytime. And so I suppose the first time it was a turning point, I changed my whole life.

Was that a good turning point or a bad.

Yes, I think it was a good turning point. I’m glad it happened. I’m glad I didn’t stay in Kentucky. There’s nothing that has happened that I’m really sorry for. I would have, I was sometimes sorry about the divorce. I am not now. I’m definitely glad. It may have had a bad effect on the children, in someway, I don’t know. But, divorces in any case are not good.

Why are you glad Nancy? 

I’m glad, I might not have had John, I might not ever have had the experiences that I have. And I think it’s brought more understanding and love and warmth into my life that I probably would not have had otherwise. It’s sort of nice to have a person that you completely trust and love, and, I guess I didn’t have that before. and also, it’s sort of nice to know that the person you’re living with you. And I often wondered if Don really was, you know, I think he was proud of me in someways, but I never had that feeling of complete bliss. 

This happened a long time ago?
