As a child, what was your favorite TV show?

My favorite show was "Gunsmoke." Matt Dillon always seemed to be pretty honest and fair, and the show always ended well. My family watched it together.

Where in the U.S. would you like to live for a while?

I would like to live in Crystal City, Texas, because of the desert. I'm an outdoors person, and I like the woods. I was there with some friends.

How do you deal with difficult people?

If possible, I would ignore them, but sometimes a person is hurt, disappointed, been wronged and they need somebody to let them know they care about them.

Spring has sprung! What is your favorite aspect of the season?

All the green trees and fishing. I love to be outside, camping. I like barbecues and being out with family and friends.

As a child, what was your favorite TV show?

My favorite show that my family watched was "The Jeffersons." It dealt with diversity issues as they came forward. It taught us a lot about the economy, our country and the different movements that were happening at that time.

Where in the U.S. would you like to live for a while?

I would choose Savannah, Georgia. I like the area, having the coast nearby. The economy is strong there. It is well diverse.

How do you deal with difficult people?

It's how you approach them. First, you diffuse whatever the issue is. Speak softly to them. Let them know you are actively listening to them. Let them have their space.

Spring has sprung! What is your favorite aspect of the season?

It's a new beginning for Earth. Things are fresh, new and sprouting, young, healthy and vibrant. Spring reminds me of a refresh, a restart.

Retired teacher

As a child, what was your favorite TV show?

When I was a child, we didn't have a TV, but I did listen to the "Lone Ranger" on the radio. We got a TV about when I started high school. Channel 12 was all we got and it snowed on the screen. I liked "Roy Rodgers" on Saturday.

Where in the U.S. would you like to live for a while?

I would really like to live in Arizona. We motorhomed there. I have arthritis and I feel so much better there in the winter.

How do you deal with difficult people?

You don't want to hurt someone's feelings and insult them. I try to be nice, but people can have a bad day. They're difficult one day, and the next day they're as sweet as they can be.

Spring has sprung! What is your favorite aspect of the season?

It's the beautiful flowers and the Bradford pear are blooming. I just love the crocus and the tulips. It's nice when we plant our garden and have fresh tomatoes.
