A Woman with a Mind of her Own

Alan R Tripp married three times: First when he eloped, a second time in a double ceremony with the bride's sister, and a third time when he renewed his vows.

Each time it was to the same woman: Maggie.

While their friends wondered how they could stay married so long when they were so different, that's precisely what made it work. In this unconventional biography, Alan pays tribute to his wife's take-charge attitude and essence with a series of vignettes that will make you think, laugh, and shake your head in wonder.

How Maggie combined marriage, business, teaching and public speaking with strong feminism will inspire you to "go for it" in life...and never to settle for less than what you know you can be.

Alan R. Tripp was Maggie’s husband for seventy-three years. He’s written three books and dozens of songs, reviews and advertisements. He’s been a broadcaster and television producer. Once, when asked how he and Maggie stayed married so long, he answered, “Neither of us died.”
