How long have you worked in Newtown? Iâve been here just for the past year.
What do you like to do in your free time? I love to garden, flowers mainly, and I love to read a lot. I am a craft painter, too.
Do you have a favorite author? Probably Jane Austen. I like her strong women characters. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. It was the first series of books I got my daughter to read when she became a teenager. I discovered Jane Austen when I was a teenager, and I loved her works. I started off reading Louisa May Alcott for period works.
Do you have a favorite travel destination? I love Mexico, Cozumel, especially, which is an island off of Cancun. For a long period of time, my husband and I would go there every year. Itâs incredibly laid back, on island time. It canât get any more lazy than that!
What is the best thing about Newtown? I love the look of Newtown, especially certain areas of Sandy Hook, and around the flagpole. Iâve always liked Colonial areas. I love the history.
If you could spend a day with anyone, who would you choose? There are so many choices, itâs hard to say, but right now, Hillary Clinton. I am just fascinated by a woman being successful in a traditional manâs world.
Do you have a personal philosophy? Never criticize a man until youâve walked a mile in his moccasins.
What makes you laugh? Iâm a sucker for slapstick humor. Will Farrell is probably the closest you can get to that today. I love Anchor Man!
