What movie or TV set would you like to live on?
We see all sorts of different homes, apartments, and rooms on both the small screen and the large. There must be some that appeal to you. Is there one that you would like to live in? I remember thinking that the house in the movie “father of the bride” was beautiful. The outside was majestic and having grown up in a 13-room colonial, it appealed to me from the start.

Do you sing along when the Star-Spangled Banner is played?

Have you ever performed on stage?
Performing on stage. Whether it be a recital for dance, a choral presentation, or a myriad of other ways, have you ever done it? Oh yes! Yes, I have! 1972. End of the year choral presentation, once for school and once at night for parents/families. There were 30 of us, dressed in bell bottoms, mini skirts and other era appropriate garb. Lights dimmed to near darkness. Christmas tree color wheel on and spinning, it’s colors washing over us – red/green/orange/blue. Musicians poised at both a keyboard, electric guitar and a third on drums – this is something we had never experienced before. And then —- it started, note by note…
