Pop Quiz #19

Pop Quiz #18 Answer: Martha

I was born in Farmington, New Mexico. My favorite childhood toy was a John Deere tractor and Implement set. I attended school in Farmington and earned my degree is Business Administration from Lubbock Christian University. I played baseball in high school. I enjoy listening to country and gospel music. My favorite holiday is Christmas because everyone is happy at our house. I met my spouse through my niece. She introduced me to her teacher, Miss Smith. I am a used car dealer because I love to buy and sell. If I could do anything else, I would sell real estate. My parents taught me Christian values, to work hard, and to have integrity. My greatest accomplishment is my family. The reunion is important because it keeps you close to your roots. My favorite reunion memories include climbing the mountain with Raymond and Sherrill, catching the trophy fish at Possum Kingdom and staying up until 2:00 am playing 42 one time. Who am I?
