Do you have a favorite work of art?

Mona Lisa, I saw that in Paris. I was kind of disappointed. A lot of people there thought it was just grand.

"All the Things You Are." They play that for me at my exercise program.

I might go with Ronald Reagan. A lot think he was the best president -- besides, he was handsome.

Hang in there kid. He's having a struggle. I just wish him the best of luck. It's not easy to be President.

What is your greatest guilty pleasure?

A box of chocolates.

Why some people drive sometimes like they do.

Do you have any regrets in life?

I wish I had studied languages, gone to college studying French and German. But it wasn't possible.

Giving birth to my four kids. I just loved being a mother and having babies.

Best piece of advice to give to the younger generation?

Finish school. Don't do drugs. Don't smoke. Go easy on the drinking. Use common sense in how you do your life.

What gives you your greatest joy?

My kids again. I also have a man friend that gives me a lot of pleasure, my sweetheart Joe. I met him in 1945. We worked together in the same war plant, making parts for airplanes in Greenwich. We went our separate ways and then teamed up again in the Senior Center 10 years ago. He was a widower and I was a widow. It's so nice to get back with him again.

What are you looking forward to?

Looking forward to summer. We like to take rides on the Island Beach Ferry.
