Marnie

Marnie's father was a pilot in the Air Force.  As a result, he was not often home.  but when he was, he taught her how to be self sufficient....just as all the women in his family had been.  He didn't distinguish between boy or girl.  They all did the same chores: digging post holes to fix the fence, feeding the horses, gathering eggs, mucking the stalls, building an addition on to the barn, building a sailboat, changing the oil in the car, etc.  As a result, she has no room in her life for girly-girls.  Oh, she knows how to dress to the nines to put the girl-girls to shame, and how to act accordingly, but she also is prepared for any situation.  Her father taught her that.  So, when she was recruited by the CIA, they turned her into the perfect weapon with minimum difficulty................
