  Nancy : [the camera turns to the flashback of her childhood]  Let me try to explain. My father died when I was 2 years old. I don't remember him at all, that left the four of us. My mom, me and my 2 older brothers Jim and Tom. They both graduated from here.

  Kenneth McFarland : I know, outstanding young men, both of them.

  Nancy : Mom got a job in the grocery store to keep her family going. She'd work all day and work hard way into the night, long after we were asleep. We didn't have much but we had each other and that's all that mattered.
