My dear friend, Di Ana, gave me the number eight. And since my life is pretty much an open book, here are some things you may or may not know about me: 1) I studied classical piano for about 15 years. My first teachers name was Beulah Robison. I also studied with Evelyn Gurvitch and Marina Stern. 2) I am the oldest of seven children. When I was seven-and-a-half, the sixth child was born. In my first six years we lived in Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Massachusetts, then returned to Minnesota, and finally to Detroit, Michigan. My poor mother had her hands full! 3) I flunked out of college my freshman year. My GPA was a 1.0 for two semesters. Who knew you had to go to class? After that I did a year at Oakland Community College in Michigan and had all As except for a B in Life Science. 4) Ive been married twice. Once for six years. Tom and I are in our thirty-fourth year. The moral of that story is: cut your losses. 5) I once tested and qualified for Jeopardy. Unfortunately it was the year of the writers strike and I never got called. 6) In 1974, I worked for a Japanese import/export company. At that time, there were only three Japanese restaurants in all of Manhattan. I was involved in a class action law suit which went to the Supreme Court and for which we were honored by the Natl Organization of Women. 7) I have traveled pretty extensively. Between archaeology projects, chaperoning students, and traveling alone or with various members of my family, I have been to about forty of the fifty United States (including Alaska and Hawaii), Canada and Mexico, many of the Caribbean Islands, Bermuda, Ecuador, Kenya, England, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Poland, Russia, Finland and Mongolia. 8) I am a fairly omnivorous eater. I have eaten mutton (in every form imaginable), zebra, wildebeest, reindeer, marmot intestines...But I could never eat those live and squirmy/wriggling live insects/worms they make them eat on Survivor. Also, I hate Cilantro.
