How long have you been a fan of Adventures in Odyssey?

Oh, absolutely forever! Well, at least as far as I can remember, anyways. My mom used to tuck me in, pop in an AIO tape, and that was my security blanket! =) My dad first found them in a Christian bookstore in 1990. I was three years old then. My sister, who is 20 now, still enjoys them! We have totally grown up with AIO!

 

What is your favorite episode of all time?

That is a very hard question! I would have to pick good ol' "Wishful Thinking". That sounds like my sister and I when we were younger. I would go through her things and she would get so mad at me! =) I felt that I could relate to Jimmy in that episode! My sister totally related to Donna! =)

 

What is your favorite AIO web site?

Well, I only know of three. I like this one better because of the pictures and stuff, but I have to say I like them all! Keep it up!

 

If you could meet one actor, who would you meet and why? 

David Griffin, even though he isn't on AIO anymore. When he was a little kid on AIO, I could relate to him so much. Our personalities were a lot alike. We were also both the middle child. That really is a hard position, believe it or not! We both had to deal with the bossiness of an older sibling, but then had the responsibility of taking care of a younger sibling. I have a little sister named Sara, who is 8.

 

Which character do you resemble the most and why?

Definitely Mandy. Our personalities are a lot alike, and I'm guessing we're around the same age.

 

Who is your favorite character and why?

Wooton! He's so funny and creative! Imagine! A slide in your house! Now, that would be cool...!

 

In your opinion, what do I need to change about my website?

At least one more picture of David Griffin, like a more up-to-date one. I'd like to see him as a "grown-up"! =)

 

If you could change anything about AIO, what would it be and why? 

The fact that Rodney Rathbone and his family aren't Christians yet! I really think they will be, because the writers HAVE to include that in one of their stories, right? =)

 

How do you imagine Whit's End and the town of Odyssey?

picture Whit's End bustling with activities, sparkling clean counters and tables, and LOTS of ice cream. Upstairs, an awesome display of trinkets, gadgets, and inventions! The town of Odyssey has it's down-sides, but I would definitely consider going there for a nice, relaxing vacation!

 

If you had your own AIO site, what would you put on it?

More pictures of more of the actors! It's really fun to see the faces behind the voices!

 

What is your favorite section of whitsend.org?

Kid's Radio, because I like to listen to the episodes there.

 

What is your favorite section of the Odyssey Scoop, my site? 

"Actors & Crew"...I like hearing about the actors/actresses, knowing what they do, and then recognizing them from other shows and movies! Great fun!

 

Do you have any comments or questions?

I just wanted to say that I love AIO. As corny as it sounds, I don't know what I'd do without it. It has honestly put me in a brighter mood when I'm having a bad day. When I get older and have children, my house will be loaded with AIO stuff, like tapes, books, and other merchandise! I'm in love! =) I also wanted to thank you for this great site you've created, whom ever ya be! =) Keep it up, and God bless!
