  The time Mrs. Addario spent in Lybia sounds horrifying, watching the revolution and seeing how some people fought with rocks againsts assault chopper. 
One thing; that made an impression that only once a day could Mrs. Addario could talk to her husband this shows how hard it is to get communication in but out as well. The second thing; is watching bombs drop trying to guess where they would land its one of those things you cant explain...only live through, enough said. 
Sacrifices? This lady made sacrifices our current media only wishes the had the stones to do like for starters She is in a warzone being shot at by loyalest soldiers as if she was a freedom-fighter dont make me get too into this one, haha. 
This lady has seen many things in her days as a photojournalist many photos that held so much information makes it almost impossible to choose just one.

The rumor was that when the owner died she left her entire estate to her cats. Remember this is just hearsay but what made it stick is that some of the teachers at the school made comments about the cats owning the house next door.   Tangent Elementary This is the school this reporter went to as a child, far to the right of this photo is City Hall (first photo). This is the spot I would sit every day for lunch back in the day, most left me alone but that was the the favored outcome for this reporter.
