Meet...Ginny
Name: Ginny Leppard Watson.
Department:
Volunteer Services, fourth floor surgery/ICU lobby information desk.How long at MUSC: Since February, 2006.
Why you became an MUSC volunteer: In memory of the dedicated medical staff during my father's extensive hospitalizations with heart problems and then cancer; my brother, who is a cardiovascular surgeon (I admire how he continues to save or to improve the quality of life for patients); and my husband, who inspired me to seek relief from his retirement at the end of 2005.
Three words that describe you: Workaholic, loyal and creative.
Proudest accomplishment: Being a full-time, very involved mom for my three sons.
Community service: Founded and operated the Tri-county chapter of CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder) from 1993-98, and have served on several mental health boards.
Most unforgettable moments: Best—flying (with a night landing) in the cockpit of a C-17; Worst—almost crashing in the small airplane my husband was piloting at night during a violent hail storm while flying from Colorado back to South Carolina.
Last book read: “Break No Bones” by Kathy Reichs (a personal friend).
Pet peeve: Inconsiderate people.
Something you tried and will never try again: Snow-skiing down a mountain during white-out conditions.
First thing you notice about people: If they have a sense of humor.
