Question: What is something that’s been important in your life? Answer: “Once thing has been the way I grew up. When I was born, my father was in the U.S. Air Force, so throughout my life, we traveled, and every two years we moved. So, we lived in twelve different homes growing up and I went to eight different schools (three different high schools). My life was pretty different in that sense. But travelling has been part of my life forever. So, I traveled a lot with my family growing […]

Question: “What is a subject you care about and why?” Answer: “I care about history. It’s important because it’s where we all come from. It wasn’t as important to me when I was younger, but I’ve grown to be very interested in it. My favorite history area is World War 2, and recently I’ve been reading “Races of Aces” by John Bruning. It’s interesting and very informative. It talks about the Pacific theater and how the Japanese zero airplane wasn’t fast enough to keep up with the American’s mustang. When […]

Question: Tell me about a hobby you have that people may not know about. Answer: “I enjoy video editing and I’ve been working on it ever since I’ve had my Apple computer. I just enjoy doing it and I use it to record where we’ve been to travelling. I’ve done videos mostly of England, more than anywhere else. We’ve been to every continent, except Antarctica.

Question: What is something you do that has been at the forefront of your life? Answer: “Sewing has been a big part of my life. I learned it from my grandmother and my mother. My grandmother would let me inch up to the sewing machine and sew my doll clothes and that’s what got me into it. I sewed my own clothes, I sewed my husband’s clothes, as well as my children and grandchildren. All our clothes were hand-made and my kids didn’t even know what store-bought clothes were! It […]

Question: How did you meet your wife? Answer: “I met my wife Marian on a blind date when I was home visiting from the Army. We went to a wedding where we knew no one. We ended up dancing all night. After the reception, we got a ride with someone who had too much to drink, but we didn’t know that at the time. He got pulled over and taken to the police station, so we had to go to the police station, too. Fortunately, Marian only lived thre blocks […]
