Startin’ Off The New Year With Sandy!


Happy New Year, Y’all! I pray that 2011 will see your dreams come to fruition, so long as they are positive.

This is Ms. Viv ‘Nim’s first blog of 2011, and there is no better person to talk about than my gal, Sandy Quinn.

Born to Roger and Sylvia Douglas in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 15, 1953, Sandra Nicole Douglas-Quinn is the third of four children. She has an elder brother Bob, an older sister Cattie, and a baby brother Bret. Although Sandy loves her siblings equally, she is closest to Bret. It was said that when Bret was born, Sandy coddled him as if he was her child. Growing up in Hennepin County, Sandy and Bret were like peanut butter and jelly.

Sandy graduated from University of Minnesota in 1975, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. After graduation, she married Milwaukee native David Quinn. To this union was born one son, Timothy Michael.

Sandy currently works as a guidance counselor at the Helping Hands Center in Hawthorne, California, where she has worked since 1982.
