I asked Joan Exline this very question. Her answer was "Tina Clark." Having never heard of Ms. Clark, I further asked who she is. Joan's response was "Successful alum in CA – forgot what company. Her daughter also goes here." She went on to say that Jewell Tucker had the details, but I haven't had time to call Jewell and ask.

That's all I know for now, GH. Anyone on here know Ms. Clark or her daughter?

very funny . . . that's my Mom you a**hole!
