22. Have you ever witnessed or experienced a fire, flood, disaster or accident? What happened, what did you do, how did you feel about it?

I can't remember witnessing an accident off hand. I can only remember a time when I was about 10 years old, mom was driving the back roads to Fort Edward it was dark and you couldn't see well. She drove upon a herd of cattle that had gotten loose and they were wandering in the middle of the road. I was so scared and worried that the cattle would be killed. I stressed about it for many days, even though mom called the authorities to report the incident. I know any accident or disaster would be very traumatizing for me.

23. When you have quiet time what do you like to do?

I love to read and write in my journal. I also get much enjoyment from sitting in my back yard soaking up the sunshine. It is quiet there and it sooths my soal.

24. Who was the president of the United States when you were born? Who was your favorite president and why?

I am not sure who was president when I was born. I remember loving President Kennedy, I was so sad when he was shot and killed. I also like Ronald Reagan.

25. Did your family have any special traditions?

The most special tradition was Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grampa Harris'. We have never been able to duplicate it.

26. How old were you when you learned to drive? Who taught you and what kind of car did you learn on?

I was 16 when I learned to drive. Mom was with me most of the time. I also took drivers education in school. I learned on a 1965 Rambler.

27. What is your first memory of as a child?

When I was 3 years old and in the hospital having my tonsils out.

28. What did your father and mother do for a living?

Mom has always been a housewife while raising my brother and I. When we were older she used to clean house for an elderly lady. Dad worked for Scott Paper company until he had his stroke and had to take a medical retirement.

29. Have you ever seen or witnessed a miracle?

Being present when my sister in law had her baby. I think all births are miracles, especially when you have your own baby.
