My father wanted me to go into the sciences, which I would have loved. Unfortunately, he died and the rest of the family vetoed that line of study as being unsuitable for a girl. My mother wanted me to become a teaching nun. I’m not fond of children as a species and the religious life had no attraction for me. I spent most of my working life in the insurance field which I enjoyed for the most part.
