Saying: Count your age by friends, not years; count your life by smiles, not tears.

Mantra: May today there be peace within.

Foods: Sushi, anything Italian (especially Tuscan cuisine).

Alcoholic Beverages: Amstel Light; margaritas with only the best tequila; Jack on the rocks.

Additional Interests: Expanding my mind, writing, playing tennis, and traveling to see as much art and architecture as I can (especially anything done by Renoir or Michaelangelo).

Additional Talents: I studied drama for two years as well as dance for many more, and spent several years performing in musical theater in shows such as Anything Goes, My Fair Lady, Pippin and The Wiz with a Connecticut theater company. I might try my hand at films one day, or return to musical theater. My favorite choreographer was Bob Fosse and I was fortunate to have a student of his as a choreographer in all the years that I danced. I'm also an avid tennis player and was once a member of the United States Tennis Association (USTA).

Anything else? Have a devoted Maine Coon cat named Sammy, love to read, believe in angels, and collect cherubic art; also have a Renoir "wing" in my home.
