Favorite Charities: Women's shelters, ASPCA and American Cancer Society. Another note, if you are not an organ donor, become one!!
Favorite Music: The Who, especially their new releases, the Eagles, the Beatles/early and everything Paul McCartney has done. Some country/western and a lot of the "classic rock". No rap/hip hop or heavy metal. Really enjoy Yanni's works.

My favorite President was Ronald Regan, he was a no nonsense man with good old fashioned common sense! My least favorite person right now would be Hillary Clinton. She is such a phony with a personal agenda that is scary!
Favorite Places: Home, Church and the beach. Sounds limited, but it isn't at all.
, that was one of my favorite things to do is help sick people feel better.
Favorite Animals: Dogs because they are loyal and love unconditionally, Cats because of their independence, grace and style, Horses because they are so majestic and wonderful, and Wild birds (I hate to see anything caged) for their beauty and song.
