Viola's Story
Life
After St. Pete's, I entered MISS OHIO PAGEANTS (for Miss Universe & Miss World).. I was a DANCER, on "LOU KING KIRBY" TV SHOW,, (sponsored by WIXY 1260 Radio), 1967. It aired Saturdays, on WUAB-43 TV.
I still have the burning desire for a music career. I still sing, which is my "ultimate passion". I also have been working on writing, songwriting, & drawing. I took ALL music courses at "Cuyahoga Community College".
My Kids
My only "little girl," is now a grown woman - Christina Marie, but she goes by "Tina". Tina married Alan, (1999). She is now on her second marriage to a "great guy" - Bob. (They got married in Las Vegas, 2007).
Tina is beautiful, intelligent and creative. She loves to dance (choreographer), write, and did commercial art. Presently working for the VA.

(Vending Commissary Leader,) 1994-2005; Vendor (Browns Stadium), & the Arena. I am now' on my "permanent vacation"., (since 2009) - YEAH!!!!..
(Marriage)
I was married to "Michael Alan Shimko", (1970-1975). I have never remarried,
I LOVE TO TRAVEL, (as much as i can). Well, I am "Hungarian", so living up to the term - "Hungarian Gypsy"!.
In March, of 2006, I met my mentor & idol, Petula Clark for the "4th time". Also, know "Frankie Valli ", (first met Him, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, & Joe Long, in 1967). I also went for Flight Attendant training, in Phoenix, Arizona (Mesa Airlines), 2005.
Relocated to CHICAGO, in 2012. Needed a "change", (to do things that Chicago, can offer).. BUT, I MISS CLEVELAND.. That adage holds true for me - THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Well, at least I get to stay with my Daughter, when I return "Home"...
My Life continues. ...
