  3. What is your favorite vacation place?

    2. Family favorite is South Haven.  April and I take the girls up every year-typically for the 4th of July. The girls love it there and get very upset if we don’t get a week there each year
  4. What is your favorite sport to watch or play?
    1. I played soccer into college. I stopped playing recreationally about 15 years ago because I continued to get injured playing against 20 year olds. I never learned how to slow down, so I just had to stop.  I still love to watch it.
    2. I had never hit a tennis ball until Covid. It is now my favorite sport. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to play as much since accepting this role – I’ll learn to live with the loss.
  5. What radio station do you listen to?
    1. To pretend I am young, I have to ask, what is a radio station?

  7. How many pairs of shoes do you have? 
    1. I have let my collection shrink since covid.  I only own 19 pair right now. This is a good reminder to build it back up.
  8. What was your favorite subject in school?
    1. In high school my favorite subject was accounting. In college I loved political science. Anymore I try to stay away from both.
