"Interviewer: How did your becoming involved impact your family life? You mentioned that you’d already had two children. Georgette Berube: Yes, my son was four at the time, he was younger than my daughter. It didn’t impact because I was home every night. Now it would be a little more difficult because I serve for example on two committees and that takes me, I stay there a little longer during the day, but I only had one committee assignment the first time I was there. And you really get very busy only toward the end of the session, like April and May, in the first year of the two-year term. And there was always someone here when the children came home from school. I had a housekeeper then who came in every morning. She’d leave when I got home or my husband got home."
