PERSONAL

Amy has been married to Rodney Currin, a retired attorney with over 40 years of experience, since 2009.  Rodney’s three adult children and six grandchildren give them plenty of excuses to travel regularly to Charlotte and Wilmington, and their de facto daughter provides them with justification for even more New York trips than they would otherwise take. A theatre aficionado, Amy has performed in a number of local community theatre musicals in the last several years, and serves on the Board of Directors of the New Bern Civic Theatre. Aside from husband, family, friends and theatre, Amy’s other major obsessions are reading, Key West, yoga, and ice cream.
