Laughter and Learning
*Personal—I was destined to be on the stage or in the classroom. I hope it was the stage’s loss. Humor is an integral part of everything I do and believe. Laughter is God’s great gift; learning is so exciting. Laughter with learning is my idea of fun!

We went from New Orleans, LA to Houston, TX; Little Rock, AR; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Orlando, FL; Houston, TX; Richmond, VA; Shrewsbury , MA, and finally to Georgia.
