DFO: What were you like as a child growing up in this town?

DR: I was a wallflower. I wasn't the most popular kid in school. I was just there, trying to figure out who I was and where I was going, like any teen-ager. I wasn't an athlete. I was totally uncoordinated. I was president of Future Homemakers of America. The first time I spoke in front of people was through that organization. It scared me to death. I could never remember what I said. But it empowered me to speak in front of large groups of people and not be nervous about it.

A print version of this interview was published in the Handle section of the Spokesman-Review this morning.
