What is your hometown?

Hometown:  Born in Atlanta, GA

What motivated you to join the Junior League of San Antonio?

Motivation to join the League:  After seven years overseas as an Air Force wife, I wanted to meet new people in our new stateside city of Las Vegas, Nevada!  Funny place to live –  the Junior League there was small but extremely ambitious; many of the 200 members had two or three placements.  We had a garage sale, a gala, a cookbook – all with a pretty small group!  Provisional Assistant Trainer and Done In A Day were favorites there.

How many years were you active in the League?

Active years:  13, and a Sustainer ever since, about 26 years total.

What was your favorite placement or position in the League?

 Favorite placement:  After transferring to the Junior League of San Antonio, I joined in on the Ritzy Rummage Sale, and my favorite, the Sunshine Singers!  Entertaining seniors all over San Antonio was very joyful, and my fellow Junior Leaguers were a wonderful, caring, and cheerful lot.  We often went out socially after our performances.

Favorite vacation spot?

Favorite vacation spot:  Love it all, but perhaps a Colorado ski trip is my favorite.  Europe was a wonderful place to live, especially as a young tourist, exploring eastern Europe, Egypt, Russia, France, Greece, and many parts of Spain and Germany. My older daughter, Beverly, spent a college semester in Germany, and I was able to show her many of my old favorite places.

Fun facts or tidbits about yourself?
