25. How interesting. If you don't name names, this could all be make believe.

There have been several articles that tell the story of her tenure on the Board of WalMart. Her stated purpose repeated over and over again, was to try to advance women 's rights. She had some success, but not as much as she wanted. She never stopped trying to advance women's rights, and will be the first female President of the United States. How's that for success in advancing women's rights?

It would have been very surprising had the First Lady of Arkansas turned down the opportunity to be on the Board of WalMart. This was my time. As a matter of fact I lived and worked in a prominant Law Firm in Little Rock close to the Rose Law Firm in 1979-1982. My place of employment was Friday, Eldridge & Clark. It was a different time; and I can tell you that WalMart under Sam was a different WalMart than the one of today. I am not saying that the Board was liberal, but, Sam Walton was a loyal American whose motto was "Made in the USA". Even though I had moved to Dallas when she became a member of the Board, I kept up with this dynamic woman and admired her very much. Most women were very proud of this woman sitting on that Board of Directors of WalMart.
