| Introduction | "I am unconcerned about offending people I write about because I tend to write about people who are not readers." |
| Interests | Photography: I had a booth for two years at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with my image transfers- there were 500 prints in 20 categories. I enjoy making quilts and seem to be always working on one art project or the other. My husband and I love traveling and my week is complete if we discovered a new place with the added bonus that it was free admission that day. |
