Q: Why DragonLady?
A: Interesting question, at the time this all came about, I was teaching junior high, 7th grade math. I have always been fascinated by dragons and had been collecting books and things that pertained to that subject. I had several pieces of dragon jewelry, a pair of earrings and a broach that I wore sometimes. The students found my interest rather amusing and started calling me the Dragon Lady. The intent was harmless and done in fun. I didn't mind, so it just sort of stuck. (I guess you would have to understand the 7th grade mind and sense of humor to appreciate this.)
