Lady Marcia Brinkley (original) (raw)

I was first in Ohio at the age of 8 or 9. My godbrother Dax and my godsister Deanna are in Dayton. Their father is American and their mother is Filipina. Their father had a band that is famous locally.

We went to Ohio a few times before I was 14. Deanna was practicing to become an Olympian Diver, but although she did well locally, her mother thought it was too demanding.

My good friend, Reynaldo, is in Ohio. We were close during Junior High. He's in the Air Force and is married with children. His mother is Anita who taught me how to play the piano since I was four. His sister, Clarinda, also graduates from Dominican Academy and Barnard College at Columbia University. Their father is a Psychiatrist.

My cousin Leslie spent two years in Ohio working for non-profit organizations while her sister Lizbeth studies her Masters in Biology in Miami, Florida.

And that's the Ohio connection. I got it on lock.
