"widow's succession"
We took a turn for the worse when we started letting women into politics
I saw this happen at TVA in the late '90s but she wasn't even widowed. A knee grow man, data tech at TVA, was abusing one of his daughters and got sent oft to prison for it. TVA brings his no count wife in to replace him. I doubt she knew her ABCs/could count to 3. Some days she'd have her teeth in AND bra on. Other days.... She was there for a few years after I left.
