Radio Interview

I was interviewed today on WKXL radio regarding my art teaching through Concord Community Education. Doris Ballard interviewed me during her morning Coffee Chat program. It was a lot of fun to sit behind the microphone and tell all of her listeners about my background, past and present, and the teaching that I do. It was an experience that I would do again! Being on the radio in the sound proof room is fun! Hello to all out there!
