    • Quotes
      [on attending Our Lady of Mercy School] I was in the choir, but Sister Mary Catherine was constantly going around saying 'What is the problem? There is a problem in the altos'. And I knew, of course, that I was the problem in the altos. So she finally discovered me and gave me the heave-ho.
