Who is someone you admire, and why?: Alan Jackson - Because he took my favorite Bible verse 1st Corinthians 13:13 and turned it into a hit song to inspire our country when we needed it the most. Hope, Faith and Love are some great things he gave us……but the greatest is Love.(Where were you when the world stopped turning)
If you could have any one superpower, which would you choose?: Sonar of course! Totally eliminates the need for depth finders on the boats.
If you could be anywhere other than here, right this minute, where would you be?: 3 1/2 miles southeast of a rotating super cell storm in the Sand Hills of Nebraska at the intersection of 2 paved roads.

I accidentally wore two different shoes (one cleat and one tennis shoe) while playing in a State High School Softball Tournament.
