I&#8217;m still amazed at what they accomplished.<\/p>\n<p><LI>I started college as a music major after playing and studying the violin for many years. Even though I love Mozart, my goal was to play in the backup string section for Earth, Wind and Fire. Through the miracle of life&#8217;s experiences, I ended up as a physical therapist.<\/p>\n<p><LI>I was at the Grammy Awards and saw Michael Jackson win all those awards for his album, &#8220;Thriller,&#8221; in 1984. My best friend was working as a production assistant and got me a job as a seat-filler. <\/p>\n<p><LI>Before leaving the West Coast for PT school (Washington University in St. Louis), I got on the game show, &#8220;$25,000 Pyramid,&#8221; trying to win money for tuition. I got to the Winner&#8217;s Circle twice, got a shoulder massage from Dick Clark and left with a year&#8217;s supply of Lee Press-on Nails, Mr. Bubble Bubblebath, a rechargeable vacuum cleaner and $1,300.<\/p>\n<p><LI>I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley in California, with a mother who was always chopping fresh fruits and vegetables. Consequently, I have a passion for fresh produce. I once bought a basket of figs only because they were such a beautiful purple color that contrasted so perfectly with the little green basket. (I should&#8217;ve taken a picture.) And, I&#8217;ll never forget when my favorite produce manager was being transferred to a store on the other side of town. I brought a thank you card to him and cried while standing next to the bananas!<\/UL><\/p>\n<p>Read UNMC Today next Thursday to see who is featured in the next Lookin&#8217; at U article.
