One thing that no one knows about me is: My passion for life and love of exercise and working out. I also was a metal sculptor – welding!!

Now the hard one. Tell us what we need to know…50 years in the space below:

I have had an incredible life – married to a really special man who has given me 3 children (twins and a single) who in turn have given us 5 grandchildren (twin girls and 3 boys) and another girl on the way in late December. Peter and I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and some in South America . I have also traveled to developing countries with my youngest son who is an international musician.

I have been a professional calligrapher for over 30 years with my own business as well as a marketing consulting business. I still work 29 hours a week for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro recruiting students. My husband is mostly retired and works about 10 hours a week, leaving us lots of time to visit grandkids and travel. We both enjoy incredibly great health.

Finally, if you had to do it all over again, I would…

Probably get my PhD!!! I would also have traveled to the Far East when I was younger.
