INTERVIEW EXCERPT

Rae:

"I graduated from Granville (New York) High School and then I went to Collona Beauty Academy in Albany (New York) for Cosmetology. No, I always wanted to be a social worker or an art teacher, that's what I majored in was Art and Business, actually, in high school. But when my Dad died, for financial reasons, I just knew it was out of the question at that time to go to college, and I needed to do something fast that I could make the most money to be able to help my family. My mother had been a hairdresser, she had a beauty salon in Poultney. So, that's what I thought I would try doing, and, if I didn't like it, I could always use it to work my way through college, doing hair. But as it's turned out, supporting two children and all, it's been the best possible thing to be able to move my business out here to Pawlet, and be right next to where my children are. It has really worked out for the best."
