1. Did you ever have a commercial you really liked?
Yes. A few of them. One was the Budweiser Clydesdales doing a 911 tribute. Another was an early Pine Sol commercial with a nice song to it. The Folgers "The Best part of waking up in Folgers in your cup" was a group of very nice commercials. There is a French commercial for a phone with a father and son that I truly loved. Here it is below:
2. How did you learn to ride a bicycle?
My father taught me to ride firston a tricycle at age 3, then the big bike a few years later. I got stung by a honey bee on my first ride too! He landed in my hair and I reached up and he stung me when I was 3.
3.How did you celebrate your 21st birthday?
My late husband took me out to dinner at a very nice restaurant. I wore a black satin dress with a "diamond" belt.

Orchestra and symphony music. From a very early age I would "conduct" the orchestra.

7. If you had to go back in time and start a brand new career, what would it be?
I really just don't know. I never did know what I wanted to do or be.
8. What do people get wrong about you?
I am far friendlier than I seem. I am very reserved when I meet people and I think they take that for being cold or disinterested.

Of course they can but not without God's help and intervention and only if they want it and seek to do it.

I don't want to see into the future.
