Do you have any hobbies? Run marathons? Have a collection? Sky
dive?
My hobby right now is my kids! Music, art, basketball, fashion, entrepreneur club – this is where it’s at in the Leonard household. There was a
time, however, when I collected Steiff stuffed bears and animals, Beanie
Babies, Whacky Packages, Partridge family albums and cards, Holly Hobbie Dolls, Cabbage Patch Dolls, and all the top 45s. Remember those
records? I used to have dance contests with my friends all the time. The
Miss you, Mom!
only collection I have kept up with is my Byers’ Choice Carolers Collection, which I’ve told you about before. You may recall, I’ve tried to tell my kids that one day they
will appreciate this valuable collection. However, they despise my Byers. In fact, the joke is that
they will sell them all on eBay when I pass.
I’ve tried my talent on art, golf, tennis too. And while I still love golf, I just don’t have the time it
requires to be a decent player. I don’t cook, but I do have quite a collection of take-out menus – LOL.
And of course, I love going to a good restaurant...does that count? Throw in a good sing-a-long
piano bar and I’m there! I suppose if you can call travel a hobby, that would be on the top of my
list too. However, that’s a hobby that’s limited by time and money.
All kidding aside…The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a hobby as a pursuit outside of one’s
regular occupation, engaged in especially for relaxation. And research shows that the busier you are
the more important a hobby can be for a sense of balance in your life. So those of you who have a
hobby and pursue it are actually engaging in something you enjoy that’s good for you too.
I always find it fascinating to know more about what the folks in our industry do outside of
their day-to-day work life. After all, that’s really what The Exchange is all about – making the professional connection on a more personal level! So in this special Hobby issue, we’re delighted to
have wonderful stories on some of your pastimes and passions.
Christine Martynick has been skiing with her family since she was 11 years old. Despite the
fact that she was the designated family dishwasher and not the cook growing up, Rosemary McConnell discovered a love and talent for cooking and catering. Carol Timberlake, once afraid of her
grandmother’s Toby Jug collection, now has a collection all her own. Geri Tauber discovered more
than sweaters when she took up knitting. Samuel Pizarro II combines his love of horror movies
and art as a horror makeup artist. Paulette McCarron loves a good book…and makes it a point to
visit used book stores wherever she goes. Robin Barlett’s passion for precision led him to become a
competitive Bullseye Pistol Shooter. And Brooke Suskin shares about her dreams for travel, along
with a few more of her favorite things in this month’s Personal Exchange.
With all the goings-on of my kids, I’ve stepped away from some of my favorite pastimes and
hobbies, but who knows maybe one day soon I’ll take up ???
Mothers hold their children’s hands for a
short while, but their hearts forever.
Happy May and Mother’s Day too,

The Smell of Dust and Paper

Paulette McCarron
I
cannot remember a time in my life when I wasn’t reading.
As a child, I harbored the fantasy that I would one day be
a librarian, able to spend all my days
surrounded by books. While my career
took a different path (though there are
bad hair and glasses days), I never lost
my passion for immersing myself in
printed paper. When I was younger, I
read mysteries mostly, and devoured
the bulk of Agatha Christie’s entire collection before I was 10 years old. As I
grew older, I branched out a bit, first to
Fantasy/Science Fiction, then to Historical Fiction, Biographies, War Novels,
Nonfiction, and, yes, even the occasional
“Chick Lit.”

With the advent of eReaders, many of my friends and
family made the shift to reading electronically. I prefer
paper and have stuck with it, though I do seem repeatedly
called on to defend this choice. I love the smell of paper,
the heft of the physical book, and much of this is rooted
in my love of bookstores. Like the libraries of my youth,
bookstores are my Sirens’ song. I find bookstores endlessly
compelling, and craft a substantial part of my travel time
in other cities and countries to search for books. I love all
bookstores but have a (now no longer) secret hankering for
used bookstores. Carrying a list (sometimes on my phone,
but often on paper), I forage through dusty shelves in search
of favorite authors.
I’ve examined Voodoo books in hidden alleys of New
Orleans, Baking cookbooks in New York City, Westerns in
San Francisco (in the now defunct “A Clean Well-Lighted
Place for Books,” which was open late into the night), and
Dr. Who tomes on Charring Cross Road in London. I then
lug all of these back on the train, or the plane, or the car,
much to the bemusement of my companions. However,

he story of how I got started in horror makeup began
when I was about 13 years old. Up until that point, I
knew for sure that the Wolfman was absolutely real, but
as long as he lived in my sister’s closet I wasn’t too concerned.
I always enjoyed watching horror movies, but then I was
becoming interested in what
makes them so scary. I figured
out that the bloody misunderstood tentacle-vampire creature
is what makes the typical Horror movie scary (By the way, he

slather someone up with fake blood and send them on their
way. There are many things I consider when applying special
effects makeup to a person. Let’s take zombie makeup, for
example. First, is this person a freshly made zombie? If so, the
skin would just start to discolor
and the bite wounds would be
fresh and visible. If this is a zombie that’s been aged, the face
would have more sunken-in features and advanced discoloration.

APPLYING MY MAKEUP SKILLS
I’ve had a few opportunities to apply my skill with special
effects makeup professionally. Recently, for example, I worked
on a medical video for a client in which I created the effect
of plaque psoriasis on models. My main clientele consist of
average people who are part of the growing obsession with
zombies. Usually they seek me out during the “on” season
and find me mostly by word of mouth. That’s right, there definitely is a time of year when the demand for special effects
makeup is high. Mainly it’s around Halloween.
The bloodier the better is my clientele’s attitude, but sometimes that’s not the way I’ll style their makeup. It’s important
Curious Clientele Communication
Over the years, I’ve had some fascinating requests from people
interested in my gory makeup services. Here are some of the
weirdest questions I’ve received and my responses:
Client A: Can you make my son into a zombie?
Me: Sure, how old is he?
Client A: Two months old.
Me: What’s the number for child protective services?
Client B: Do you do wedding makeup? I want my bridesmaids to
have smokey eyes.
Me: Umm, I can do makeup so that they all have black eyes.
I haven’t gotten the call for a zombie/Halloween themed wedding
party…yet! But I’m dreaming of the day I do get that call. It would
be a lot of fun!

Sibling Rivalry…My Road to Cooking
by
Rosemary McConnell
M
y sister Meg and I were the two oldest girls in a family
of 10 children. We were responsible for cooking dinner
and cleanup. Since I was the one out gallivanting with
friends and activities – cheerleading, play practice, or basketball
– I didn’t get home until late and certainly not in time to even
think about starting dinner. So she cooked, I cleaned up...a lot
of dishes. And we didn’t have a dishwasher at the time!
It wasn’t until I moved into my own place in my early 20s
that I started experimenting with food. At first it was just easy
foods like chicken and pasta. But, as I began working a weekend job as a caterer, I found a whole new variety of food that
I had never known
growing up in a large
Irish family. And I
started cooking.
I originally got
into catering for the
additional income to
help support raising
three girls as a single
mom. It was something I could do on

vided me by allowing
my choice of work days. As “front of
the house” staff, I found out that I
enjoyed working with food, decorating buffet tables, passing trays, and
working with the other waitstaff and
kitchen personnel.
STARTING MY OWN CATERING COMPANY
I ultimately started my own catering company when I had
people reach out to me directly for help with parties. They not
only wanted help on the cooking end, but also the serving
end of things. Catering, as we all know, is a very difficult job.
For some parties, I’ll put in 40-50 hours doing planning, shopping, and preparing as much as possible prior to the actual
day of the party. Then the party date comes and it’s another
10-12 hours with any last-minute prep. There are many things
that cannot be done until the day of the party – packing
up the job, travel, setup, party, breakdown, and getting my
“things” back into their storage place. So maybe 50-60 hours
total for a job. That being said, I still do a couple of parties a
year but have definitely slowed down as I’m not as young as I
used to be!!

THE TRICK IS TIMING AND PLANNING
As I did more catering, I found I had a knack for timing.
And that, it turns out, is the most important part of cooking. Getting all parts of the meal to the table at once is a science. However, if you break it down into individual steps, it
becomes very easy.
For instance:
1. Cooking a filet roast takes about 45 minutes, plus 15 minutes for it to rest before slicing, so about an hour total time.
2. If you’re going to have baked potatoes along with this protein, then you need to put them in prior to the meat since
they generally take 60-70 minutes to
cook and can sit for a while before
serving.
3. And then there are veggies and they
are the important part. But should
you grill, sauté, steam, blanche, roast,
or microwave? The choices are endless
nowadays. They don’t usually take an
hour to prepare, but plan according to
the directions based on your type of
cooking method.
If you’re planning
a dinner party for
friends or just having the family over
for Sunday dinner,
plan it out. Write out
what your menu is,
how much oven time
is needed, how long
will things need to
cook, and what can
sit after cooking without losing flavor or freshness. Put it down on paper or your
Smartphone’s calendar to keep yourself on track.
Some great sites I visit often are foodnetwork.com and
bonappetit.com. I’m always a fan of the cooking shows, so I
regularly rely on The Barefoot Contessa (barefootcontessa.com)
or Giada (www.giadadelaurentiis.com) for some great inspiration on what to serve and what’s the newest trend in food.

Fun for the
Whole Family
M
y Aunt Carol and Uncle Nick took me on my first official ski trip when I was 11 years old. With that, I was
hooked! It took lots of lessons and many falls, but I loved
it so I stuck it out. What started as a small family trip with a
handful of relatives has turned into a third-generation annual
vacation. It’s a trip I look forward to every year, not just from a
quality family-time perspective, but also because I love skiing.
Skiing is just awesome – absolutely one of my most favorite activities. Being outdoors, taking in the gorgeous views,
all while zooming down a mountain…It’s a truly unique
experience. I’m the first to admit, it’s an effort to put on all
of your gear every day to get to that mountain first thing in
the morning. But once you’re there, hop on the lift, and look
down at all of the fresh powder and the amazing scenery, you
feel energized and ready to go!

home. Here we
find there truly is something for everyone. There are 15-30 of
us who rent condos in the same resort; best for hanging out
après ski. Lately, we’ve stayed at the Nordic Inn, which has an
indoor pool, hot tub, and game room.
Loon Mountain offers a huge variety of trails across all
skier levels. They have even recently opened a south side of
the mountain that appeals to the more experienced skiers.
They always have a ton of lifts open and the mountain also
has a high-speed Gondola to take you up to the summit.
While I’m not a snowboarder, the snowboarders among us
tell me the terrain parks are pretty decent. For those of you

found my niche.
What three adjectives best describe you?
Witty, loyal, intuitive.
Last good book you’ve read?
Birthplace: Long Island, New York
Marital Status: In a relationship
Children: None
Occupation: Art Director
Years in Industry: 3
College: The University of Michigan – Ann Arbor
Personal Motto, Mantra, or Favorite Quote:
“Anything is possible.”
What are two things on your bucket list?
1.I would love to visit all seven continents – I’ve already
checked off Asia and Europe – so, next up would probably be South America.
2.I’m a proud alumna of the University of Michigan (Go
Blue!), so I would drop everything to go to a Michigan
football NCAA championship game – no matter where
it is!
What is the biggest obstacle you have overcome?
I was born deaf in both ears and received hearing aids
at the age of five months, and later on got a cochlear
implant when I was eight years old. I essentially had to
learn how to listen and speak, which is something that
comes naturally for most people. Growing up deaf has
taught me true perseverance, hard work, and determination. And with all of those combined, I have come to
realize that I can accomplish almost anything – and everything – that I set out to do. Finding humor in tough situations has also helped me overcome adversity and therefore shaped me into who I am today and what I stand for.
How do you stay fit?
I’m a big fan of kickboxing, tennis, and racquetball (I also
was a wicked kickball player growing up). In addition, I
recently started practicing yoga, and that has been lifechanging, both mentally and physically.
How did you get started in the industry?
I had the opportunity to start at LLNS right after college in
project management, and then transitioned into account
services about a year after. I soon became interested in the
creative division at LLNS, which would give me the ability to reimagine healthcare advertising and reinvigorate
brands through more impactful strategy and campaigns.
I started taking both night and weekend classes at the
School of Visual Arts in Manhattan in graphic design,
advertising, concepting, and branding. I followed my passion and ultimately was given the opportunity to transi1 4 T H E E X C H A N G E w w w . H M E x c h a n g e . c o m American College of Physicians

Who was your favorite teacher?
John Rubadeau, one of my English professors at Michigan. John had a long, white beard that he tinted a different color of the rainbow for every major holiday, clad
with blinking lights entangled in it for Christmas. He
was (and still is) one of the most passionate, brilliant,
and funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He encouraged all of his students to “scratch their
itch” – to do something with their lives that was meaningful – and that’s the philosophy that I’ve carried with
me every day since.
What one little thing always makes you happy?
To curl up on the couch after a long day with one of my
dearest friends – Netflix.
Craziest thing you’ve ever done?
I went waterfall rappelling in the Costa Rican rainforest
years ago, which was an incredible – but damp – experience.

beauty of some of the locales that I traveled to was
mind-boggling. Sailing across Ha Long Bay in northeast
Vietnam was absolutely breathtaking. It is made up of
