Gloria's Story
Life
I am the sometimes proud mother of 4 grown children,2 grandchildren and 1 husband. I have a masters degree which is a surprise even to me, for I was not the brightest student at Williams.My favorite pastime is listening to jazz, Sonny Stitt, Jean Almonds, Sarah Vaughn and other jazz greats.

Little did he know he opened my world up to jazz. Oh my God, if I was granted one wish I would leap back in time. I remember that myself and 2 other girls were suppose to sing the lead part at a Thanksgiving assembly. We had practiced the song for several weeks. When it came time to sing I was so nervous during the performance that I laughed throughout the entire song.
