520    Donald Thornton was a ditchdigger who wanted more for his 
       six daughters, saying: "I love you better than I love life,
       " he assured his children. "But I'm not always gonna be 
       around to look after you, and no man's gonna come along 
       and offer to take care of you because you ain't light-
       skinned. That's why you gotta be able to look after 
       yourselves. And for that you gotta be smart." Donald 
       decided to do the grandest thing he could think of: force 
       them to make a success of their lives. Along with their 
       mother, Tass, he cajoled and inspired the girls to succeed
       while working two full-time jobs to keep them properly fed
       and clothed. All six became successful, independent, 
       accomplished women: two of his six daughters became 
       doctors, one became a dentist, one a lawyer, one a nurse, 
       and one a court stenographer.
