Diane grew up in a five-flight walk up in New
York City. Rumbling subways and glittering city lights were part of the wallpaper of her childhood. She earned pocket money as a child by writing, directing and starring in religious tragedies in which she repeatedly died and was resurrected.
In her teens she went to an all-girl Catholic high school and wore a uniform and a beanie. On weekends she was a Greenwich Village
hippie who wore mini skirts and hoop earrings. During that time, she held various part
and full time jobs as waitress, secretary, cashier and lost & found clerk at American
Airlines. Today she understands how one can lose or misplace important pieces of one's
self.
A failed monastic, she has enjoyed hot dogs in Times Square, Indian fry bread on a
Tucson sidewalk and Margaritas on the Pacific in Mexico. She can now dream of her
father without sadness and has learned a huge amount about love from her husband of
34 years, her many valued friends, her German Shepherds - all named Caesar - and her Wooly Jersey bunny, Mithter
Wabbit.
