Conclusion: As we near the end of this article, I would like to thank Cordelia Byington for letting me interview her. Something I found interesting that she said during the interview was that she played the saxophone, which is a Jazz Instrument. If you ever get the chance to interview a person about their life, do it, you can discover something new about them. Thanks again to Cordelia for letting me interview her.
