I admire Jenny Doan. Although she sort of fell into her situation, she made the most of it. She knew her areas of talent and delegated other areas to those best suited to it (her son handles a great deal of the business and marketing side). She literally turned a town around from a deathspiral into a thriving community. I often recommend her tutorials to beginning quilters not only because they are informative and short, but the fact that she will admit her errors and keep going. This is so important to a new person to help build their confidence. I think that if you had an opportunity to visit with her, it would be a normal 'real' experience.
