I later obtained my CAI designation at the University of Indiana and I now own Best Of The West Auctions, a nationally recognized auction company (with a huge internet presence) specializing in Art and Fine Estates.
I love music and attend as many live concerts and music festivals as possible. I especially love attending the Telluride festival...the musical highlight of my year!
I have 3 daughters and I raised 2 step daughters, I now have 6 grand children and am divorced.
