Her occasional letters to her celebrity son Mike Rowe, which he reads aloud and shares on social media, have attracted a worldwide following. More than 110 million viewers laughed through her son's delivery of a guilt-inducing letter, dubbed "Old Blue." Her recent letter about an adventurous flight is also hysterical. She just finished her first book and plans to travel back to Dayton, when she turns 80, for the 2018 EBWW. It will be her fourth workshop.
