Daughter of former embassy counsel in Austria

Three children grew up in a home where alcohol was overused, emotional stability was absent and the family was in a constant state of turmoil. One child became a heavy drug user and spent his final hours on a sidewalk among other addicts. One child married, became a teacher, had a family and built a traditional life well away from his origins. One child had multiple marriages, attained a PhD and became essential to many classified NASA projects.
