[@josephdellaselva484]

Goodness, 21 years hence 😊 I remember Oprah giving the speech and reading it in the Boston Globe at my office that Monday. Inspirational words and woman. (Personally, I thought the ladies who wanted to simply meet her and speak with her were gracious. They saw it as a gift more so than hitting jackpot/lottery.)
