How did you get started with this position:

"My very first year in Craig I was the librarian at East Elementary and I taught all the kids their music. I taught first graders at Sunset music and fourth graders at a school called Breeze which has been torn down. So I’ve always like the library and music and a position came open and I was lucky to get it."

Favorite book:

"I haven’t found one for this year. Last year I had a favorite book and I mailed it to all my brothers, everybody I knew. I go, “you have to read this book.” But I haven’t found one that just struck me this year like that. The one from last year is called Heaven is For Real. It was just a wonderful book and then we did a bible study at church on it."

Pet peeve:

"Grumpy people. Especially when they’re so grumpy to their children. It breaks my heart."
