Although Beth’s talent in music was already showing itself at a young age, music is only one of her many interests. She also loves the outdoors and spends most of her free time hiking, camping, and boating with her family. Reading, teaching, traveling, cooking, and occasionally resting, all score high on the list. She would like to share some sites with you that she thinks are interesting or important.
