PART 22: LORRAINE LOSES HER AUDIENCE

For years Lorraine had chaired the company’s charity gala, an evening of expensive dresses and speeches about community service.

She had a talent for remembering donors’ birthdays and forgetting employees’ names.

This year the foundation board quietly reviewed her role after the financial disclosures.

She sent a furious letter claiming that removing her would humiliate the Lawson family.

The foundation’s independent trustees responded that the event was intended to benefit local youth programs, not protect any individual’s status.
