Event Description
The bell sounds. This life-long prizefighter bounds from her corner throwing jabs and hooks. The eldest child of immigrants, teacher, and union organizer in the New York City schools, Trina, a fierce and valuable ally, was not to be danced around. The paradox is that at 83, she was still throwing punches, but forgetting which direction her opponent's were coming from! This is a story about coaching a feisty prizewinner through her last big bout, only this one is visited by landmarks of laughter and redemption.
