I am an old fashioned tinker. I sell pots and pans. Not just ordinary pots and pans but space age utensils.

I like working at the shelter workshop. I can be productive and be part of the community. I make money and pay my own way. On my days off I watch TV, ride my bike and write letters to my friends. Someday I'm thinking of getting married.

I've taught my baton class through all my pregnancies. The exercise has been good for me. I didn't close my baton studio because there'd be forty girls without a teacher.

I've taught several of the Red Cross Child Education courses. They are open to the general public and they are free. It takes courage for people to say I don't know how to take care of a new born infant. In six lessons, I teach them about pregnancy, labor, delivery, nutrition of the mother and newborn, the first week of life, and growth and development in the first year. Most people leave the course with confidence to become effective parents. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California,

The last thing I did before leaving for San Francisco after my dad died was watch fireworks explode over the St. Louis arch on the Fourth of July. Two days later I crested a hill on Route 80 and saw the expanse of San Francisco Bay for the first time. It was so beautiful I cried. St. Louis, Missouri, from the series "Leisure"
