(60,179 posts)Like many women whose beauty radiates from within, she avoids any kind of public display at all. In her job as a social worker, the thing she most dreaded was having to do the rare press conference for the agency she worked for. When we flew to Washington to meet Bill Clinton for the first timemy dad was president of the Gridiron Club that year, the local Düsseldorf paper ran a feature article about it, and made her very uncomfortable. When another local paper saw it, they called up and asked for an interview and a photo, she said, no way!
Shes funny that way. Shell gladly slave all day in the kitchen (she is a gourmet chef, along with everything else), and make eight different dishes for thirty people whom she is thrilled to entertain that evening, but the second the attention starts to come from outside her comfort zone, shes no longer cool with it.
