So, pack your bags and reach out to Mary to secure your tickets to CUBA, opening in the Heikoff Giant Dome Theater at the Fleet on Friday, November 15.
- I love science because…
... it stimulates the mind and makes us ponder about the possibilities of what lies ahead. Without science, life would be boring.
- What is your absolute dream job?
Owning a horse ranch that is fully funded so that people who suffer from traumatic experiences/PTSD or children with special needs can come and heal.
- Have you ever met your idol or someone you revere greatly?
YES! Muhammad Ali. I read about him in 5th grade and did a report on his life. He rose above all obstacles and his determination was unstoppable. One day, when I was a shift manager at a gas station, a limo pulled up and a larger-than-life man got out. It was Muhammad Ali and I was instantly starstruck. I was able to tell him in person how much his story touched me and how much I admired him. He was the kindest, most genuine human being. He was the GREATEST!
- Are you a morning person or a night person?
Morning, for each day the earth shows its beauty for all to see.
- What is your favorite time of the day and why?
3 p.m. There’s something magical about how the sun shines upon the dust particles in the air and makes it shimmer in the light.
