Name your top three pet peeves.

My three pet peeves are laziness, ignorance and meanness.

Do you trust your instincts?

Yes I definitely trust my instincts because experience has taught me to always listen to that hidden side of myself to get a full account of what’s happening on a daily basis.

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

The most expensive personal item I’ve ever purchased was a purple knit Betsey Johnson mini dress from Neiman-Marcus department store. When I bought it the saleswoman said, “You’re probably one of the only people who’s going to buy this dress because it’s so different and it takes a special person to wear it.” Besides a worn area near the closure it’s still in pretty good condition and I still own it. After being worn quite a bit during the early 1980s, while attending SFSU, it retains a lot of excellent memories of my early college days

Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

What historical event fascinates you the most?

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

If I got some great, amazingly fantastic news the first thing I’d do is thank God.
