Introduce Yourself: Idelle Davidson
|
|
|
|
Hi, my name is Idelle Davidson. My kids always told me I ask too many questions. So I decided to annoy other people, not just them. I became a journalist. I have since interviewed a queen, a first lady, and an artist who sculpted the head of Mikhael Gorbachev from ice cream. But first, there’s the story of how I brought public transportation to Santa Clarita Valley.
|
|
Yes, Idelle Davidson is our featured profile this week. But did you know that Idelle is also responsible for working with other ChaiVillageLA members to bring us their stories? What fantastic stories our members have to tell! If you would like to tell your story or would like to suggest another member for the Introduce Yourself column, please contact Idelle at
IdelleDavidson@gmail.com
