Fun Facts
Valerie is now in college.
At age 17, Val recorded a piano CD called "Vision". Click the image below to hear samples.
Folks often ask if she read the verses. Actually, her dad taught them to her and she recited all twenty verses. She's really great at Christmas Bible quizzes now!
The voice recording was made in Charlotte, NC. Since Val stood in a walk-in storage closet, you can sometimes faintly hear traffic going by outside.
Right after she finished the recording of Luke 2, she asked if she could go eat because she was "starving"! For the record, she was never deprived of food.  The recording is aired on hundreds of radio stations. The first to air it was Bible Broadcasting Network in Charlotte, NC. Her personality in real life is just like on the recording. Mom and dad used to take her to church early on Sunday just so she could toddle around meeting new people. When she was a newborn baby, she would jabber to the outlet on the wall next to the sink in the bathroom because it looked like it had eyes and a nose.
She learned to read very early and never had a grade lower than a B+ in school.
Throughout her teen years, she acted in a radio program for teens called Faith Crossing. She plays the role of Tori McIntire who is often heard to say, "My life is OVER!"
She was home schooled. Her favorite competitive activity in high school was debate tournaments. She was the president of her National Honor Society chapter. She also taught piano to ten students while in high school, played piano specials in church and sang in the choir. When she grows up, it is her expressed desire to serve the Lord in whatever way He chooses.
The inside cover of the CD has a photo of Val playing the background accompaniment of Silent Night, which she arranged and performed in 2005.
Luke 2 is also available in MP3 format from iTunes and Amazon.com but more of the proceeds go to Val if you download MP3's from the CD Baby page.
