Celia

Celia is about 60. She is from the Philippines originally, but also she spent there eight years between 1998 and 2006. That was because of a traumatic death in the family and also because the family business is there. Somehow, between living in the Philippines and running the family business (which she should be doing even now instead of spending the morning at the open rehearsal at the Symphony) Celia managed to raise four American children. The youngest has graduated from UC Davis this past spring. The oldest went to UC Berkeley. The two girls in the middle went one to NYU and the other to UC Davis as well. Celia likes to bake and she also loves opera. It's too bad the opera does not offer cheap open rehearsals.
