My twin, Epple, who only monthe before I began writing landed the job of writing the Ann Landers column and gave me the inepiration to strike out on

Stanlelgh Arnold, the features editar of the San Franciaco Chronicle, who agreed to see this un- known, Inexzperienced Hillsborough housewife when she impulsively telephoned him to aay, “I can write a much better advice column than the one you’ve been running.” is

Rober? W. Lucas, the then-managing editor of the Denver"Post, who offered to be my spdclal consul- tant. (He’s now retired, but he's atlll my apectal conauliant.)

The Jate Ted Bernatein of The New York Times, who, out of friendship, served as my supreme court on word usage. -“

Katie Beal (Abby's Irish Roel, who has been not only. my loyal secretary but my cherished friend for 26 veare, Clase on her heels came Marlon Lake Tetiey, Thyra Gusfield, then Sylvia Singer — all attle
