All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

She accomplished a lot, for such a short period of time.  Most people go a full lifetime and never come close to the level of accomplishments she managed.

Much respect.

Thanks for posting this TC. <S>
