      @@nilabansal3696 it’s been a minute, but her name and number appear prominently. As in, not just another run of the mill entry. And I know it’s not worth much on a UA-cam comment, but I am far from a conspiracy theorist when it comes to this sort of thing. I see names and numbers and all I can say is that there is a connection. I don’t speculate on that connection is. One of the problems with Epstein is it is impossible to tell what connections were intrapersonal, versus which were outright nefarious. It’s entirely possible that this is simply a business relationship, but the waters are too muddy to say for sure. Reply to this comment and I will respond with the information, which I had come across, for you to see.

    Her comment about music being easy for her is why music and drama should return to public and private schools. Not everyone is an athlete or academic and everyone had to learn in their own way and fit in. 😊

I have a friend who currently lives in Vermont who would love to study with Diana Soviero, how can they be put in touch with each other? Is she teaching in Chicago or New York City?

And now she continues to share her incredible insight and passion with future generations. Thanks so much, Marc for creating this wonderful interview !

    I also love Erie. I had the joy of appearing with her in a community production of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forumn. This goes back to our Highschool Days, with a group known as Masquers. After many weeks of rehearsals and two weekends of performances, I had the joy of taking Miss Mills to our very first Cast Party. I watched the complete interview on OA and it is clear to me that the years have been very kind to this wonderful lady, it is clear that she loves her life and profession, that she still has the Granite City Illinois girl personality, and lastly, that I miss that I don't have a small piece of her in my life today. With love and all my best wishes, Harry Diak
