Slide 6: Out of this exciting era, came out a beautiful woman with vicious intellect and a desire to be part of the differences surging around her. After a “polysected” education in French, American, religious systems, Tere finally finished her high school education at the age of nineteen and set off to study medicine at the University of Perugia in 1972. There began the first exploitations of her liberty in the name of the Tony, the John and the Holy Hippy.

Slide 10: But the real question, on this day of celebration, is not whether the choices she has made nor whether the experiences she has faced were right or good, wrong or bad… The real question today is who is this woman that stands before us?
