Keep on your high heels, Margaret. You are a living legend, and some of the Council history will have your name on it. Bless you for your fight. Where are the young ‘uns to help you out? Bless your nerves of steel. It’s another generation now. If only they would stand up for YOUR rights, then they would keep some rights for themselves. Blessings upon you. Stand strong.
