Marcia is the oldest and the fourth generation attorney in the family, following great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and several uncles and cousins on my father’s side. She had moved to New York City two years after I did, in the early 80’s, and has been there since. Four years before she had remarried for the third time, to a contractor in tony Sag Harbor, New York. He is making a great deal of money in construction of dentist’s offices and they have all the perks—expensive cars, a beautiful home, a live-aboard catamaran, and plenty of spending money. Like our mother, Marcia married a man 9 years younger than she.
