Meet Jo Ann Newsome
I am a retired Dept. of Defense (DFAS) employee. My major in college was business and at the ripe old age of 56 I got my Masters in Management. For the majority of my life, making/sewing clothing was my passion.

What's something interesting about you that not many people know?
For America's Bicentennial celebration I designed Martha and George Washington costumes for a couple and they won the award for Most Authentic.
