Judy was like no other woman I’d ever met. None of my friends’ mothers were anything like Judy. I’d heard that
women could be doctors and lawyers, but I had never known one. The women I knew who had jobs were either
secretaries or teachers. At that time, Judy was prosecuting juvenile offenders. I was blown away by her sense of independence and self-sufficiency. She had it all together. She not only did her job and gave it her all, but she was there
for us whenever we needed her.
