Kristin's Q & A

Where were you born? I was born in the now extinct Catskill Memorial Hospital.

What's the coolest thing about the Great Northern Catskills? It's home. No matter where you go or who you are, you are welcomed and brought in with open arms and you feel like you're at home everywhere you go. But, I have to say that Autumn is a very close second, if not a tie with this feeling. The foliage just adds to the warmth and comfort of the area.

When you have friends visit the Great Northern Catskills for the first time, what's the one thing you insist they see/do? It depends on their interests, but I usually take them on a ride through the countryside, pointing out places of interest along the way.

Favorite Hobby/Pastimes? Being kinda crazy and driving people nuts....if I can't make you smile, then I feel like a failure. :)

If you could have one superpower, what would it be, and why?  I would really want to read minds.

One song that's the anthem to your life? Piano Man by Billy Joel....maybe with The Entertainer as a backup. Some would probably say Redneck Woman.

Favorite band and/or songs growing up? Well there are they all time faves (Billy Joel, Elton John, Loverboy, etc.) and the trendy faves (C&C Music Factory, Survivor, The Rembrandts, Nine Inch Nails, etc.).

What are some of the stations/cities where you've worked before coming to Rip 97.9? This is my first time in the studio. I worked in advertising in Manhattan and Albany and am now a very happy Art teacher at Gilboa Conesville Central School through ONC BOCES.

Coolest / funniest / weirdest moment of your radio career so far? Aren't they all? Probably just my rare visits with Guy and Jay, trying to just get through recordings without busting out laughing.

If they made a movie about you, what actor would you like to play you? Of course some beautiful, skinny, sexy blonde bombshell....

Famous person (living or dead) you'd most like to have dinner with? Marilyn Monroe

What's your #1 pet peeve? People that cannot laugh at themselves.

Whom do you admire the most? I would have to say my parents. It's amazing that they could have put up with me for this long and still be sane.

Dog or Cat? Other Critters? Dog, Tucker - a little Lhasa Apso.......other critters? Two daughters, Abbey and Anna, do they count?
