No, I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning, and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today’s events and I read the paper every day, and we talk about it, so they see that appetite.

I think the scariest person in the world is the person with no sense of humor.
I really love being alive. I love my family and my work. I love the opportunity I have to do things. That’s what happiness is.
