The Grateful Dead
If you could choose anyone that is alive today and not a relative; with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where locally would y’all meet for this lunch?
I would take Mick Jagger to Al’s because I feel like he’s a pretty healthy guy and would want healthy food that has lots of flavor. And I love the Stones just as much as I love Al’s.

If you could go back over your entire school career what is one thing you would do differently?
