They were living in Illinois when Kallen entered college, hoping to be an actress and maybe a Broadway performer. She has traveled with Esperian to Paris, London, New York, Salzburg. Mom really gravitated to anything I did. She'd sit on the couch for hours while I would play and sing. She always wanted me to look pretty.
Mom loves glamor.
I always say she should have been the opera singer. She loves to dress up and go to big events, things I sometimes shy away from. The famed soprano first jumped into classical music for a scholarship. I wish I could be more like her. She's extremely intelligent and very, very wise and so assured.
