Robin, thank you so much for your wonderful post! It really captures the sometimes conflicting aspects of Gloria that made her such a fascinating person. She inspired a lot of young people because she didn't patronize us, and a lucky few knew her and were mentored by her. When someone shares her memories of Gloria, it is like a precious gift that I cherish. I'm so glad that you found this site. Peace, Karen
