She never would have converted because of her sons.
He probably would not have either but if one had converted he would have had to.
They weren't getting married anyway. His father had tried to perpetuate the lie but every one of her close friends had said that was stupid.
I actually believe it was a simple matter of her being stupid and getting into a car with a drunk driver and no seat belt.
I met her when she came to Chicago in 1996. Nice woman. I was involved with 2 charities she came to be involved with here.
The stupid part though was the ball they had. She is always paired up for the first dance with a man taller than her, happily married and associated with the city she is visiting.
The Mayor is 5'6. Michael Jordan would have been a good choice but he had a game that night. They spoke about Cubs second baseman at that time Ryne Sandberg who can dance and is 6'2. The Governor at that time Jim Edgar (who if he hadn't had heart problems might have been a potential VP candidate in 2000. He even had presidential aspirations (Republican one of my favorite politicos of all time) would have also been a good choice.
They chose PHIL FREAKING DONAHUE! His only association with Chicago was he started his talk show here.
also she and Charles were thinking of having William and maybe Harry spend one year at an American university and Northwestern was one of the schools they considered.
IF she had lived William probably would have.

That'll do it.
Ever since she died, I have made sure I have my seatbelt fastened.
It must be amazingly hard to live one's life in a goldfish bowl like that.
