Energetic, perhaps a bit frenetic, I love my seven grandchildren, Austin, and my family—plus I am lucky to enjoy a collection of terrific friends. Why Gone For Good? It goes back to an upbringing in Virginia and Waco (of all places), infused with an implied question: What are you doing right now that might make a difference? The answer has taken many shapes, but in 2010, it morphed into Gone For Good and has been a joy ever since. Much fun, laughter and yes, effort—worth every minute.
