Dawn Quigley: Boozhoo, aaniin. Hello everybody. My name is Dawn Quigley. Quigley is my married name, but I just want to tell you a little bit about my first name, Dawn. I was born around 5:00 AM in the morning, so you know, dawn, sunrise, but that's not really why I was named Dawn. My mother and her sister were pregnant roughly about the same time. And my auntie talked about wanting to name her baby Dawn if it was a girl, because back then there really weren't ultrasounds and you couldn't tell if you were having a boy or a girl. And so she ended up having a boy. So my mother, like sisters do sometimes, borrowed or took that name. I'm not named after anybody, but I'm just Dawn.
