There are farmwives and churchwomen of grit and industry and waitresses who wore their aprons proudly as professionals. Men recall mothers with plenty of spunk who were up at dawn to pack lunches for school or hang wash with clothespins pulled from an apron's bottomless pocket. Grandmas figure prominently.

When my stepbrother was at UVM and he and his roommates needed to raise a little cash, they would throw a kegger-$5 for a bottomless cup. They made some spending money, people got to drink as much beer as they wanted for $5 and everyone had a good time. There’s your party funding...
