You might think that Dawn DeMarco was all about the parties if you don’t look close. It’s certainly the image she projected for all to see. The more people saw her as that, the more dangerous she was to those with ill intent. We really did think alike in that way, and I loved having her on my team. Or as it sometimes felt, me being on her team. She truly was so much more than just the debutant of the ball though. She had a mind for intelligence that was scary, and her family had trained her to run the family businesses when she grew up. To managed all the money they made in all the different ventures that made the formal balls of her youth possible. She was absolutely amazing at understanding money and where it went. It made her real good at her job.
