BEST SHINING MOMENT: Revealing the story of his difficult youth when he takes P.L. Travers to Disney Land
LEAST SHINING MOMENT: Trying to sneak in the cartoons when she clearly is against it.
WHY I CHOSE HIM: Admittedly I’m giving this nod more to Tom Hanks than Mr. Disney — and that might have something to do with the fact that I just saw Captain Phillips. Hanks was wonderful in both films, but he was definitely the lead (and title) character in the latter, so I can only honor him on Secondary Character Saturday for his work as Uncle Walt in Saving Mr. Banks.
Freelance writer, graphic designer, musician, foodie and Jane Austen enthusiast in Northern Baltimore County, Maryland. As a writer I enjoy both fiction and non fiction (food, travel and local interest stories.) As an advocate for the ARTS, one of my biggest passions is helping young people find a voice in all the performing arts. To that end it has been my honor to give one-on-one lessons to elementary, middle and high school students in graphic design and music. And as JANE-O I am a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America, Maryland. I acted as that group's Regional Coordinator for several years. In 2025 I sat on the JASNA AGM (Annual General Meeting) Planning Committee where I held the post of Head of User Experience. I'm also the coordinator for the Maryland Jane Austen Fest in Monkton, Maryland. This year the Fest takes place on May 1, 2 and 3rd.
