Interesting fact:   Vanessa LOVES to learn. Anything that involves researching, reading & studying. As a child her family called her “Bennie Bookworm” and as an adult, her husband calls her “Mrs Google”. Given more time & money, she would happily be a full-time student and definitely plans to still be studying even when she is a Grandmother one day.
