Margaret had close links with Geneva where she had spent some years as a student while her parents had been wardens of the Quaker Hostel there and where she had gone back as secretary to Gilbert Murray.

After the outbreak of war, in April 1940, we left Geneva with our three children aged 4 years, 2 years and 2 weeks only to become part of the disordered refugee crowds fleeing across France from the German army.

While Secretary Napolitano may be gone, she will not be forgotten. Her inaction and incompetence on border security will continue to plague our nation for years to come.

My parents have been married for 50-plus years, and I wanted to have what they had.

I've been crazy lucky that I've never had a day job. I get really close to having no money, then I always wind up getting some kind of great job.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.
