Community Q&A 1/13/05

* Name: Brittney D. Lee

* Lives In: I currently live in Jackson; but my husband and I just bought a house in Cape and will be moving there in February.

* Family: My husband, Josh.

* Job: Marketing director for First Missouri State Bank. I am also co-chair of public relations and advertising for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.

* What do I like most about the area? My family and husband's family all live in this area.

* Favorite Food: Grilled chicken

* Favorite TV Show: It used to be "Friends" until it went off the air. Now I would say that it's "Judging Amy."

* Best Advice: Everything happens for a reason.

* Person you most admire: My late aunt, Susan Hinkebein. She never gave up no matter what life threw her way. She battled cancer for several years, but continued to put others before herself.

* What would you do if you won the lottery? I would donate a large portion to the American Cancer Society and the United Way because I feel they are two organizations that truly make a difference in the lives of others. I would also donate to Catholic Campus Ministries because I feel that its presence is needed on college campuses. Then I would pay off the house that my husband and I are in the process of buying and invest the rest for my children's education.

* Pet Peeve: People who lack the confidence in themselves to reach their maximum potential.
