1. What’s something about you that not many people know?

Few people know that I took flying lessons in the mid1970s, and while I passed the written Pilot’s Exam and loved co-piloting our plane, I never actually got my license. I loved flying with my instructor or with my husband Ed, but I never was interested in flying solo!

2. What was your first job?

I believe my first job was running a lemonade stand with my business partner and brother, Charles Teeple, when we were in a very early grade at University Park Elementary School/Dallas. It was the perfect training for establishing Fall Creek Vineyards 6+ decades later!
