It became obvious in 1957 that I was endangering my health by carrying so much weight.

My father was a small-town banker. He became very ill when I was 10 years old and we went to California three years later in an attempt to recover his health which never happened.

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.

I met Woz when I was 13 at a friend's garage. He was about 18. He was like the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends because we shared an interest in computer and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.
