Yvon Chouinard is my hero too: best company to work for, great clothes, and of course, pioneer of rock climbing..

I seem to have left out some other real-life heroes:
JESUS(not that Jesus is an afterthought, just making that clear).
DR. MARTIN L. KING
CHARLES SULLENBERGER(I hope that I got the name correct).
Many others.

MOTTO: If you are going through hell keep going.(compliments of Winston Churchill). My last motto seemed like an epitaph.

What is your most treasured possession?

- A green candy dish that belonged to my grandmother. She lived 5 hours away from us in a small town (Walkerton, Ontario) and as soon as we got there my brother and I would look in the living room to see what kind of candy was waiting for us in that dish. It’s easily 60 years old and isn’t worth anything but it will always hold some of the best memories I have of my grandmother and the time my family and I spent visiting her in that house.

I love this answer, Maria:
“If you were to come back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be?” “A tree. Or maybe a rock. Or a humpback whale.”

I don’t know what I would come back as. I must ponder this.

Also, I’m going to Nashville this weekend, for the 1st time.

Great pointed questions that say so much about you, Maria! What a fun read. I’m definitely thinking of what my answers would be!
