Her role is to bestow inspiration and hope via the gift and ethical paradox of her uncopyrighted image**; the breadth of her artistic and political legacy; and the great mystery that is: how she could be so famous while keeping such a big secret*****(Union dues include one day making pilgrimmage and definitely giving any surplus funds to the family estate or the communist cause of which she was and is a beacon).  ***KP is the only current living member of the guild and therefore the sole beneficiary of donations.
