About

For those of youwho would like to know something about me, I was born and raised in NewOrleans. I am a French and Spanish Creolé. My family settled in NewOrleans in 1834.

When I was eighteen,I began modeling and I loved it. It was shortly after World War II andit was time for beautiful clothes to come back. I was lucky to be ableto wear the best high fashions that were all the rage at the time. Imodeled until I was in my late fifties. I was also married to a careerNaval Officer who was a pilot. I have three children and sixgrandchildren.

I loved being a stay-at-home mom.I loved being with my children; to me it was always fun. I loved mylife as a Naval Officer's wife with all the moving and never knowingwhere we would live when we got there.

Other things I love,beside reading and writing, include old movies. And I do mean old--somedate back to when I was a child in the 1930s. I have 1,300 old moviesin VHS and DVD formats in my library. I love the music of the bigbands, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and so many others. I love spendingtime at the pool where I work on my tan and read.

And--I dearly love my hometown,New Orleans. There's an old saying, "You can take a native out of NewOrleans, but you can't take New Orleans out of a native."
