Francesca DeLuca

Almost 30 years ago, I was almost 30,  and I joined Mensa.  Born in Brooklyn, now on Long Island, doing the suburban version in the Greater New York chapter:  the Evil M-pyre of HELL's MENSANs.   I am told at gatherings that I am sometimes rude or too loud, but I really AM a nice person.  I love karoake, yet people tell me not to quit my day job - piano teacher.  I only have my Masters and do not intend to go on for my PhD because that would just be "piled higher & deeper".

Jessica Burstrem

started the "Gen X Rated" chapter of HELL's M's. She joined Mensa in 2004 and has contributed to the local groups Southeast Michigan Mensa, Gainesville Area Mensa, and Greater Phoenix Mensa, where she is the current Gifted Youth Coordinator. Professionally, Jessica is working on earning a PhD in English from University of Arizona. She lives in Casa Grande, Arizona, with her 8-year-old M son Alex, two rescued greyhounds, and two adopted cats.

Misty Richmond

Loc Sec, RG Chair, webmistress, RG Junkie - sure sounds like I have no life, eh? In reality I am a single mom to three nearly grown young ladies and I am pursuing my PhD at the University of Cincinnati in my spare time (of course). If you want to email me, you may do that .

Rochelle Weber

Hi.  I’m Rochelle.  I grew up on the Northwest Side of Chicago.  My dad was a truck driver and my mom was a factory worker.  I’m a Navy veteran, and I have a BA in Communications from Columbia College in Chicago with an emphasis on creative writing. I’m an active member of Mensa. I served as LocSec of Heart of Illinois Mensa from January – March 2009, then moved to the far Northwest Chicago suburbs where I now live with my daughter and granddaughter.  I still edit HeartBeat, the HOIM newsletter, and have for a couple of years. I love RGs, and am going to my first AG next week! (June 2010).  I also love singing, karaoke, any kind of trivia and I’m in the NTN/Buzztime SIG, the Sci-Fi, Singing, and Karoke SIGs as well as being a Hell’s M.  I live at an Auto Museum—really! And I will ALWAYS wear a green dot!

Tiffany Everett

My name is Tiffany, AKA Trouble, from Milford, OH. In the local Mensa chapter I am Scribe, Corresponding Secretary and Calendar Girl. About me - I like trivia, (live and NTN), card games, sports, movies, embroidery, great conversation, camping, hiking and having fun at RG's. I believe in order to get things out of the party, you have to be willing to work to make it successful.
