Community Q&A 02/09/04

Name: Brad Gentry.

Lives in: Cape Girardeau.

Family: Single.

Job: Marketing director of the Show Me Center.

What do you like most about the area? The community is what makes Cape Girardeau a great place to live for me. People are friendly, and there is a lot to do for a community this size.

Favorite food: Beans and weenies -- it was my comfort food growing up.

Favorite TV show: "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Best advice: "This too will pass." My father would say this to me when I was having a rough time of things.

Person you most admire: Both my parents. I don't know where I would be without their support.

What would you do if you won the lottery? Pay off my debt, pay off my family's debt and travel.

Pet peeve: People who lie and (on a lighter note) people who scrape their teeth on their silverware when they eat.
