Jennifer Echols Revealed

A. I wish it were my blonde hair, but I'm pretty sure it's my weird nose.
Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?
A. I would try to save the four girls killed in the Birmingham church bombing on September 15, 1963. I live in Birmingham and September 15 is my birthday, so they are never far from my mind.

A. Jane Austen.
Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?
A. I would love to be a better musician. I'm so interested in music but that doesn't mean I'm good at it.
