Moments of Fame List Poem

In first grade channel 11 came to my classroom and interviewed my school about our TV watching  habits. I was chosen and highlighted on TV later that night because I watched the most TV, 

beginning at 7 am with Flipper. I had a missing front tooth.

My first husband and I started a swing dance culture magazine in Seattle, WA called Swaank (notice the double a so as not to be confused with the other Swank) which got us some local attention and headline of some south of Seattle suburban newspaper variety section. My platinum haircut was very short as was my polka-dot dress.

I wrote and performed a spoof of Matchmaker Matchmake Make Me a Match onstage 

at the U of M for a love poem contest hosted and judged by

Garrison Keillor. His awesome piano player accompanied me will I sang "MacIntosh MacIntosh Download Me a Date..." I did not win. I did not even come close to winning. I think I was comic relief to the somber heartbroken love poems that came before and after me.

I was an extra on some movie I never saw, but I had to walk behind two people talking in the desert.

I took a singing Improv class at the Improv along with Deryl Hannah and Jan Brady. Although it wasn't filmed or broadcasted, just telling the story made me famous in smaller, less glamorous circles.
