Virginia DeBerry Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Why not? Q. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you? A. Mine or someone else's? Humor, optimism and curiosity work for me in both cases. Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero? A. It's a tossup between Gargantua and Pantagruel & Garp--I like my heroes flawed and funny. Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. Historical character is kind of an oxymoron. But I'm going to take the question as it is and respond with a real person(s) who was a character-- larger than life. I would like to meet Bessie Coleman and Josephine Baker, congratulate each on having the courage to be who they were, break rules, defy convention,define themselves--and say "thank you." Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? A. Steak or ice cream. Hmmm..steak flavored ice cream? Maybe not. Learn more about Virginia DeBerry
