When I was nine my dad’s job transferred him to Michigan. We moved to a small town there, Potterville, where I graduated and then went to cosmetology school. I moved back to Illinois in 1974. I eventually started a salon of my own and have been a hair stylist for 20 years. I live with my dog Prissy, and my two cats Olivia and Ocho. I do have a lot of family names in this book. A lot of them are my grandchildren, and yes, Elizabeth is one of my grand daughters.view less
