Hi, Sara,

She did not have an occupation, but as the wife of Sam Clemens she supervised a large staff of household servants, corresponded with hundreds of people, entertained many famous people in their home, and was his primary editor! She was very well read and had a classical education at Elmira College - science, literature, math. Olivia was highly intelligent and a warm and caring person. So, although she did not really "do housework" she was kept very busy mothering 3 daughters and serving as Sam's editor, plus all of the social commitments they had.

What did his wife do for a living or did she just do housework?
What did she go to college for?

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
