My Story
This
is me in my turquoise tutu
And
here I am with my father's guitar
I was born in Newark, New Jersey, to a couple of children of Italian immigrants who were also born in Newark, New Jersey.
When I was 18, I moved west, urged on by a sense of escape, adventure, and a longing
to see the mountains.
In the summer of 1972 I met Donald and his brother David, who were
5th generation Oregonians. Little did I know at the time that I would
actually become part of this family! This is
a photo of Donald's brother David; and Victor, Laurie, Debbie, Annie
& Robin (whose mother is Chris, Donald and David's older sister)
David suggested I take my camera to his house that morning; I had no
idea what it was that he wanted me to photograph that morning! I just
followed him out to this tent! and what a surprise!
Six years later, Donald and I "found" each other and got married. We had two sons
Josiah, my older son, and Tom. Go here to read about Josiah's stage debut.
