Then I had three children in three years and there was no way I could continue to work. So what I did was to get very involved in organizations even when the children were young. I've been on lots and lots of boards, the Junior League of Chicago and Hinsdale District 86...I do some (legal work on) wills and real estate, but it's been 15 years since I really practiced law...Physically, I couldn't work full time, have a husband and a house to take care of. In the voluntary sector, you can pick the time you want to spend.〕 She served on numerous boards of voluntary and civic organizations.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Judy Biggert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
