best shot!  Highlights of 2004 include:

Year" by 98.5 FM WNCX (Cleveland's Classic Rock Radio) and Healing Spaces.  
She is selected from over 250 nominations and is presented the award by The 
Learning Channel's (TLC) "While You Were Out" carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo.
* Robin Pease wins critical acclaim from Scene Magazine, Cool Cleveland, and 
others as Mistress of Ceremonies for Dobama Theater's Marilyn Bianchi Kids

Hathaway-Brown School.
