On a Lighter Note
Have you ever met anyone famous?
I have met Muhammad and Lonnie Ali three times. They were a pleasure to meet. On each occasion, they were kind, generous, and patient. When I was growing up, my family always watched Muhammad's boxing matches. We loved his personality and sayings, such as being "The Greatest" and "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
Do you have any favorite sports teams?
Yes, I grew up in Illinois, and I love the Chicago major league sports teams. I also enjoy college sports and rooting for the Northern Illinois University Huskies and the Xavier University Musketeers.
Have you ever participated in a physically or mentally challenging activity?
I have completed over 15 half-marathons and one very long walk-only full marathon. I love the half-marathon distance, but I think I'm retiring my running shoes on full marathons!
