...sales rep for a uniform company. Angela Bunn, the mayor's wife, found herself with four kids at home, trying to juggle her regular substitute-teaching job with her husband's insulation business. Handling mold complaints while worrying about his living or dying was tough. "I was taking Paxil and Prozac," she says. "People said, 'You're handling this well,' and I'd say, 'That's the purpose of the medicine.' But I still worried. I would have panic attacks at night, not in front of the kids.
