THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Falk, always intense, still strives for bigger goals
By ALAN J. BORSUK of the Journal Sentinel staff
Friday, September 6, 2002
Hung-Mao Tien told Kathleen Falk to aim for great goals. He told
her she had what it took to meet them.
It was a pivotal message for Falk as she emerged from a childhood
in Milwaukee and rural Waukesha County, a daughter in a family that
was warm but not prone to thinking big when it came to education or
careers. Her parents' jobs included running a custard stand in
Milwaukee and a liquor store; her father was an alcoholic.
