Location: San Diego, CA
Marital Status: single
What I'm doing these days: grocery clerk, student & frustrated writer
People from Rocky I've kept in touch with: Ann Minnich, Margo Havlik and Andy & Paula Cameron (I was the bride's attendant aka "Maid Of Honor" at their wedding)
Why I first went to Rocky: A penpal became involved in the cast at a theater in St. Louis and her letters became nothing but cast lists and gossip. I decided to see Rocky at The Ken so I could make some sense out of her letters and became hooked after one time.
How I started performing: My fourth or fifth time at Rocky, the management at The Ken decided to start charging the cast admission, so they went on strike. Not knowing any better, I went in and was recruited to play Dr. Scott. A co-worker of mine was in the audience that night, and I mentioned to him that it should be interesting since I was playing the part with no wheelchair. He said, "I live right up the street and happen to have a wheelchair in my garage." It just goes to show that life gives us what we need when we need it most. I have mixed feelings about my Rocky debut. Had I not been so new to the scene, I would have supported the strike and not gone in. However, if I had not been a scab, I might never have started performing.
Food I ordered after the show: I always went to Winchell's, but usually purchased my munchies at the 7-11 next door
Before the reunion, I last performed: in 1992
Before the reunion, I last saw Rocky: At Rockycon '98 at the Four Queens in Las Vegas. I remember being depressed at how much older I was than most of the people who attended, but it was great seeing Doc and Megan Harris. The first night, a cast from somewhere in the midwest performed "Shock Treatment". They were awesome, and I'm so glad I got to see it.
Did I buy the Rocky DVD? Yes, and also the laser disc. Little did I know...
My favorite Rocky memories: Amy Alexander once said that when she first met me, she thought I was the coolest person she'd ever met, but after she got to know me, she realized it wasn't true. I thought that was hilarious.
I would just like to thank Michael Reed for all his hard work putting this project together.
