Suzanne Gauvreau is a breast cancer survivor who participated in the Reeling and Healing retreat last summer, where she learned to fly fish. An AAATU member was her volunteer fishing guide on this retreat. Suzanne found the outdoor retreat in a beautiful river to be very healing as she enjoyed the camaraderie with the other cancer survivors. She is now getting herself outfitted to continue fly fishing on her own.
Suzanne has a Bachelor's Degree in music (voice) from Michigan State University, and a Master's Degree in music (voice) from the University of Texas. She studied opera for a year in Italy, and has performed across Europe and in the USA including a performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. Suzanne has also taught music therapy. Suzanne sings with choir groups, and also on special occasions (such as our banquet here tonight).Terms and DefinitionsYou must be present to win.
