During my early years my mother never administered medicine to us children, although there were brief times when we were under a physician's care. It was only natural that my mother's calmness and ineffable faith paved the way for us, some time later, to take up the glorious study of Christian Science!

When I was in my early teens I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School. There I learned the nature of God and the basic truths of Christian Science. In addition I acquired a great appreciation for our Master, Christ Jesus, and his devoted follower, Mrs. Eddy.

I clearly remember a Sunday School teacher telling me one day that I could do whatever I wanted to do—so long as it was right. This inspired me, through the years, to face and to conquer each challenge that confronted me. It helped me develop various talents as a result of faith in God's direction. Through one of these talents I once received an award in theatricals. In this profession, also, I advanced into an assistant executive's position. Today I still enjoy a steady flow of public appearances as a dramatic monologuist.
