Growing up in Concord during the 1950s and 1960s was a wonderful experience and taught me survival skills and life lessons that I use to this day. When I returned from living in California in 2000, I decided to give back to the community and spent many years working in the non-profit field, raising money, writing grants and creating awareness. My 2011 autobiography, "Was That a Name I Dropped?" became a number one best-selling book. I continue to write as well as to teach film classes for OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) at Granite State College. My second book, about Concord's historic Concord Theatre, will be published in 2018 and my book about longtime friend, Doris Day, entitled, "More Than Freckles" is scheduled for release on her birthday in 2019.
