Who am I? Hmmm a very complex question (if you've
met me you know that's true) but here goes...
I am a happily married 41 year old mother
of two grown children. I have worked as a deputy sheriff for the
last ten years currently working in the Patrol Division and I have a sense of
humor. (that's necessary sometimes for the job). My wonderful husband is a
restaurant manager.
I love the Doobie Brothers!!! Yes, I know we
all do however I did not fall in love with them as most of you did, I was forced
into it by my sister and best friend Ann. I remember the day well. I
was in our bedroom listening to Donnie Osmond when Ann walked in and said "we
are not listening to that" She put on a Doobie album and said "just listen
to this". I did and for many nights we fell asleep listening to
the music. Thanks to Ann and Another Park Another Sunday, I was
hooked. In 1975 Ann bought our tickets and we went to our first concert.
We married, raised children and worked for the next few years and even though
the band broke up, Ann continued to play the music. In 1999 we went to
Charlotte. Ann looked at me with those stars in her eyes and said "I would
give anything to meet them". And in 2000, at the convention we did.
My favorite Doobie moment has to be the look on
Anns face when the guys walked into the convention
room.
I know I strayed from who am I and went to who is
Ann but you have to understand that she took a troubled, in trouble child and
turned me around. She had a hard life yet she thrived. We're not
twins but we are. She loves the Doobie Brothers and listens to their music
daily. I love them for their music and for getting two teens away from
their troubles for a few minutes every time we listened to the music. As
Steve says, the "Doobies Rule"
