• When it’s all said and done I would like to look back and think that I help to make modelling a possibility for a greater number of people. I don’t do things that I will regret in the future.

I am most proud of being able to represent my family and community with honour and dignity.

I wish no epitaph to be written to tell that I survive the ruin of this glorious Union.
