Your wedding was memorable in so many ways. Please describe your theme, cake, dresses, Mother's part both in your wedding and the aftermath, e.g. Scotty, etc.. And of course, Julian getting his sister-in-law drunk.

You have helped me (Vivian) in a number of ways. Leaving home (mother) and coming to live with you in Asheville and my escape (the first time) from Mickey are two.  Feel free to describe from your perspective.

And what about our trip to "rescue" Mother in Atlanta. I wonder if Branson remembers the ride in the 18-wheeler when the engine locked up on your car.

I have always considered you more my mother than our Mother. How did you see your role when we were growing up?

John: What did your mother say about your baby portraits and mine

Teaching: i) When did you decide to be a teacher?, ii) Why did you choose special education?, iii) Tell us your favorite teaching story, iv) What advice would you give to kids that would like to go into teaching and in particular those wishing to be in special education?

You are active in teaching, social justice, political action, international exchange of high school students, and social activities. In this broad spectrum what first comes to mind? Feel free to edit this question, eg perhaps pick two or three particularly memorable activities that give you satisfaction.

Where did your political activism come from and when did it start?

Have you ever considered how changes in past  decisions you  have made might have  changed the present?

You have so many funny (now) stories about the people who rented your apartment downstairs. What's your favorite?

Same with all your international students... Funniest story and favorite student.

What are your life goals? How do they compare with those of "the distant past."

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to yourself at High School graduation?
