During the last 10 of his 97 years, every time my father introduced me to someone, he always said, “This is my oldest daughter, Marti, and she manages all my finances!” He had six sons, so maybe it showed a bit of his old school nature that he pointed out it was me and not one of them who had taken on this task. He had made me co-executor of his estate along with my youngest brother, but he was very willing to have me take on the whole responsibility.
