My Heroes
These are people who, one way or another, have had a huge impact on my life.
People who are spirited, determined, talented and/or creative. People who have
the courage to live their lives the way they want to, which is sometimes
contrary to the way that other people and society dictate. Sadly some of them
are now deceased.
