"FRIENDS" 17 years ago this October, I moved to Los Angeles from my small town in Michigan. The first person I hung out with and who trained me when I was hired at AMC was none other than Boelman aka The Mayor of Westwood! This weekend, "my first LA friend" along with our families caught up at Disneyland for the Halloween Party. It was so cool to catch up with him and to meet two of his five kids. his two little girls, Nic and Maya were absolutely lovely and so awesome with Penny. Penny keeps mentioning she wants to go back to Disneyland to see her friends.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
