Carol Maxson (Dice) was voted most talented, twice—once in junior high and again in high school.  She is to this day a magnificent soprano.  And she is sharing that talent with young musicians, teaching them the magic of expression through heart, soul, and voice.  I am fond of everyone that I interviewed for this project, but I have to admit that I have a particular affection for Carol.   I believe that she and I come from the same DNA pool.  No, we are not siblings, but we are kindred spirits.  What we have in common is a love for the arts and a deep regard for humankind.  Carol is not interested in engineering or accounting or any other left-brained endeavor.  Carol is supremely intuitive, as we will see later in this essay.
