What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
When I was 10 years old I jumped off of a bridge that stood thirty feet above the Deschutes River, into mountain run-off water. I lost one of my favorite jelly sandals, my breath, and my bikini bottoms ... then I had to climb out of the ice water in front of a crowd of people.
If you could have lunch with any one (1) person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Grand-Dad. Grand-Dad was, and still is, my own father’s hero. To be able to meet the very man who shaped the childhood of my father would be absolutely incredible. I know that my father emulates Grand-Dad as a father and husband and meeting the man who taught my own dad what he teaches me would be priceless. The stories of his life have taught me to know his face, his laugh, his personality, and his intellect.
