SIX UNIMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT MYSELF:

1. In the summer time when I was ten, I use to make hollyhock dolls and give them to all the little kids who lived near me. They would come for craft hour and I served everyone Kool Aid.

2. As a pistol and rifle instructor for the NRA, I use to shoot against the father’s of my scout troop. They were happy to have the leader participate until I out shot them. Funny, they never asked me back after the second time.

3. My father wanted to name me Petranella Adaleen, but my mother decided Gwyn was a better name. Of course with a maiden name of Koetterheinrich, that would have been some moniker. Thank you mom.

4. Volksmarching has been a walking rage in Europe and in America. I attended one 6-mile walk at Fort Leonardwood, MO. Oh, heart be still. Nothing but hills. I couldn't believe my eyes. What had I gotten myself into. Even the soldiers who were on a march walked faster than I did and they were carrying a 25lb or more backpack. Breathe, breathe.

5. After talking piano lessons for four years, my teacher wanted me to record a piece. Being nine, I was so excited that I practiced every night for weeks in order to get it right. The day I sat in the booth, knowing I was being recorded, I messed up so bad, he opened the door and told me the session was over with, go home. He crushed my heart and my desire to be a pianist.

6. I never liked or understood football. But living on a street with ten boys and one other girl, you take what you can get. The idea of their football game was pass the ball to Gwyn and chase her. I begin to understand what was going on the second time around so I headed home with the ball, as fast as my little legs could carry me. It took two weeks before I gave up the ball.

And for this trip back in history, I must link back to Karen Lingefelt; and I’ll tag Sandra Coburn, Sarah Makela, Kristen Painter, Kathleen Pynn, Joann Rock, and Kimberly Llwellyn. Enjoy!
