I volunteered at an animal sanctuary in South India for one year.

Lesley is family oriented, is also retired yet very active politically and in social justice. She regularly travels to help monitor political elections in third world countries.

Perfectionism… I used to think it was a good trait but now realize the opposite.
Your long, lost great uncle leaves you a million dollars. What is the first thing you would buy and why?
I would take a vacation in the tropics with my sweetheart, and buy land to begin to establish an animal sanctuary.
Biggest challenge in your job?
One of my biggest challenges is to stay abreast of the landslide of ever-emerging technology. The only thing constant seems to be change in technology (and life).

What is your favorite place to travel and why?
In Costa Rica, the Peninsula de Osa contains a very large national park named Corcovado. Driving to and throughout the region is spectacular for many reasons, some of which include its geographic bio-diversity, the variety of remaining wild-life, its sheer beauty, and it’s friendly people.

Bear Grylls
First concert you attended?
Ted Nugent… too long ago to want to admit.
