Fun facts about her family: She grew up spending weekends at Mets games with her dad and loves baseball as much as ever. And since her sister-in-law is an astronaut, she has been to two shuttle launches up close. The secret to her long marriage? “Shared interests, especially my husbands’ and my love for coffee ice cream and the beach—which is what brought us together.”
