    Absolutely spot on. Congrats Vivica. She is the most superb Vivaldi singer also. And just a downright lovely non-diva diva as well,

    Proud to say Vivica and I were playmates and grew up in the same neighborhood in Fairbanks Alaska! She is beautiful inside and out.

  • Jo Kuchle says:

    Congratulations Vivica! You represent Alaska and America well!
