I put on my pants and drove like crazy to the airplane hangars, ... Then I looked up, and this fighter plane came a-roaring down, machine guns blazing, and I knew it sure as hell wasn't one of ours.

I have jumped out of airplanes but I was not technically a paratrooper. I was an infantryman and a night fighter, anti-terrorist.

We dug and dug for over two years. I just about drove my husband, Jim, my family and myself crazy. I felt guilty for living.

It just baffled me and drove the business types crazy. The stuff that OFAC was doing was important and made a big difference to their businesses, particularly if they got caught in the wrong place.

We looked at all the products on the airplane, such as slippers, and tried to find where we could save and how we could get a new supplier so that we could still maintain our quality and reduce our costs.

I didn't know how to box so I would have looked like a complete street fighter actually, but what we did have to do was pick up some sides and then just memorize them within two days and go there and audition.
