The Fund: A Memoir of Mom (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798822937765)

What we remember most about Mom was her love for life. She was the most courageous person we ever knew and was far ahead of her time by light-years! In the business world, she went up against the best of them defying tradition and breaching circles that were forbidden to "the fairer sex." Her legacy to us was The Fund - the concept of having a contingency plan, not just financial, but in all areas of life. It inspired Mom to grasp every opportunity and to embrace each adventure - buying a castle in Italy, a racetrack in the Berkshires, being sued with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and dining with the Shah of Iran! Whenever we opened a bottle of champagne, watch out! We were all off to Europe on the spur of the moment, because Mom never went anywhere without her two girls.
