1 Age

  • 1. I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn't really know how to successfully get me going.

2 Amazing

3 Anger

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Less is more.
  • 2. I'd like to do a lot of things – whether in design or architecture or business.
