Q:  If you could be a character in the Trinity Circus, what would you be? A:  I would be some kind of animal tamer. I like to be in charge. I love to teach new things to my students (animals), to see them achieve their goals, and reward their efforts. Q:  What is your favorite family meal (either from now or childhood)? A:  I love when my family goes out to dinner together. When we are at home, something is always distracting us. When we go out, we all get to pick our meal and then enjoy having someone else bring it to us (and the clean up too). We      can talk and laugh together while we wait and while we eat. Q:  What was the most recent movie/book you saw/read? A:  I love to read murder mysteries especially ones in a series. I like to find the first book and read through the whole series in order. I love watching mysteries on TV and in the movies too. I like to try figuring out “who done it?” before the end comes.
