Donna's Story
I graduated from Staples in 1972. I have a BA and a MA in Psychology. I recently returned to college to get a degree in elementary teaching. I live with my finacee Bill, a pharmacist in Phoenix, AZ. We have two dogs and one cat.We live in the foothills of a mountain that I like to hike with my dog in the cool months. I have a 28 year old daughter Vanessa who lives in Hollywood. She has been dancing since she was 6. She makes commercials, Music Vidieos,is in movies and on TV shows. She is a member of SAG.
I have been an assistant coach for a middle school boy's soccer coach for the past 2 years.
I am slowly learning Spanish as most of my players are either from Mexico or are refugees from Africa.
I enjoy visiting my daughter in LA.Particularly in the summer when it is very hot here.One year she had a job dancing at Disney Land. I was given free admission tickets and was given discounts in all the resteraunts and stores.
Unfortunately I did a lot sun bathing and scubba diving for 20 yea...Expand for more
rs here and in the Carribian, and the Pacific. Because I was not good about using sunscreen and because I am so pale skinned, I have had a lot of skin cancers. We now live in a house with out a pool, after living with a pool for over 18 years. I have to wear a very high sun screen and a sun hat.
I also enjoy dog sitting for Vanessa's chocolate lab,Picasso when she has booked a commercial out of town. I take him on hikes with my Austrailian Shepard, Taos and we go to the dog park. We also live on a park. Our back fense opens unto it. Many people with large dogs bring there dogs there.
I enjoy going to movies, particularly ones that Vanessa is in. I really enjoy watching soccer. My daughter and her fiancee who is a tennis pro from Argentina are going to go to the World Cup next summer in South Africa.
We have season tickets to the Cardinal games and the Suns games. I enjoy eating out, and hate to cook.I enjoy wine tasting and spent a week and a half in Napa and Soma Valley last spring.
