She said: "I just found out that "Mother Mama" is now famous, having been included in a book about the 60's and 70's and stuff. The book makes her out to be this really out of control kind of person and I don't remember things like that at all. "Mother Mama" was first and foremost a business person. Sure, she was larger than life. Lots of people were larger than like then. She was literally "larger than life" because she was such a big woman. She had to be over 200 pounds back then. But she worked her butt off moving "product" from Florida to California on a regular basis. She would make the trip in 3 days, driving that broken-down VW bus 24 hours a day! And they said that the young people then didn't have any "work ethic". That's just a bunch of B.S.! We worked hard, played hard and only slowed down when we fell down. I'm telling you "Mother Mama" was something else. Everybody on the West Coast knew her. She was a hard worker who got the job done. And when it was time to party, she would stay for a short bit and then would quietly be gone, because, after all, it was mostly about business. A person could party anytime. But work always came first for "Mama". You just don't find people like her anymore. Those days are done. But I still laugh every time I think of her and that crazy bus."
