Lois Conn
 
My Grandson Bennett 
 
If you could have dinner with one person living or dead, who would it be?
My dad, He passed when I was 27. I have so many questions for him. I miss our shenanigans. He was my partner in crime.
 
The best piece of advice you were ever given.
Keep your mouth shut, it will get you in trouble. 😊
 
When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?
Air traffic controller.
 
Who is your all-time celebrity crush?
John Wayne, he reminded me of my dad.
 
What is your favorite way to start your day?
Up around 5:30, read the paper and play with the kitties.
 
What is an item you have way too many of?
Golf stuff. We have over 50 dozen golf balls. If I see them on sale I must buy more. It is an addiction; you can never have to many golf balls. I have more golf clothes then I will ever wear.
