My speaking partner from Taiwan, Min-Yi. We met at Niagara College. She has now returned to Taipei, Taiwan. I miss you, Min-Yi!

Elizabeth Cherniak, Niagara’s newest member, flawlessly presented Norma Jean as follows: “Our gal is seductive, with a smokey exterior; sweet on the onset with an earthy sensuality. We find her balanced from head to toe; uninhibited and very approachable. She shines when snuggled up beside a roaring fire nibbling on a succulent leg… of lamb. A classic rubenesque figure of the ages, she is 40% Merlot; 20% Cab Franc and 40% Cab Sauvignon. She’s real & she’s fabulous, she’s Norma Jean.”
