to the University of Illinois and received a degree in accounting
from that institution.
During December 1988, petitioner's daughter experienced a
medical problem with which her daughter had a difficult time
coping, and petitioner devoted a significant amount of time
during 1989 in helping her daughter deal with that problem.
Petitioner spent a substantial amount of time during the years at
issue in assisting her son, who suffered from a learning disabil-
ity, to improve his learning skills.
During the years at issue, Mr. Morris was not at home very
much, and he took affirmative steps to deceive petitioner and
otherwise to prevent her discovery of the embezzled funds. Mr.
Morris led petitioner to believe that, when he was not at home,
he was working not only for John Kenny Company, but also for
Accu-Data during the evenings and on weekends at an office that
he maintained away from home in an apartment complex. Although
Mr. Morris discussed his employment with petitioner in terms of
the people with whom he worked, he generally did not inform her
about what he actually did in his employment. Mr. Morris was not
open with petitioner about his financial affairs, and, when she
questioned him about those matters, he reacted negatively,
causing her to discontinue that line of questioning.
