My favorite sport is softball. I’ve been playing since I was very young, playing travel and HS fast pitch. Now I play for fun and coach my daughters.

The relationships I build with my residents and faculty.
Annie Detrick

ARCOS Member-At-Large
What did you want to be when you were small?
When I was young I was convinced I would be a commercial artist. I still love design, but discovered I prefer to work with my hands when it comes to creative projects.
What would you sing at Karaoke night?
I’d likely choose something by Tom Petty. My car sing-alongs of ‘Yer so Bad’ and ‘You Wreck Me’ are pretty solid.
What motivates you to work hard?
A strong work ethic, desire to prove myself, and an affinity for a healthy level of competition motivate me to work hard and produce my best in whatever I take on.
If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
If I could do anything for a day I’d want to spend it out on the water with people I love. I find immense joy in sunny, summer days on my cousins’ boat, enjoying the peaceful scenery and great company of family and friends.
Maia Knox, C-TAGME
Tria Orthopaedic Center
ARCOS President-Elect
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
San Francisco, so far…great metropolitan city on a bay, without tall buildings, close to national parks and wine country, not humid or hot, diverse, and just beautiful.
What is your favorite thing about your career?
My relationship with my fellows. It is rewarding and fun!
What is your favorite book to read?
I love historical fiction the most, but I read a variety of books all year long. I listen to a lot of them too while I run.
What did you want to be when you were small?
I wanted to be a dancer.
Laurie Lynch, C-TAGME
Western Michigan University
ARCOS Member-at-Large
What makes you laugh the most?
Conversations over wine and dessert with my family.
What was the last movie you went to? What did you think?
The last movie I saw in a theater was pre-COVID! Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. I thought they did a good job of wrapping up the entire 9-part saga (although the three prequels were “meh”). I enjoyed it!
If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
Decisions, decisions – national quilt show? Ford Museum/Greenfield Village? Musical on Broadway? Nope, can’t choose but it’s a good bucket list for vacations.
Which would you rather do: wash dishes, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom, or vacuum the house?
Mow the lawn – fresh cut grass is the best smell of summer.
Courtney Matlach, C-TAGME

If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
Head to the beach before it gets too crowded and of course bring an iced coffee and bagel to enjoy there!

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Penne alla Vodka
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Hydra (an island in Greece). No cars are allowed on the island, so everything is walkable, not to mention it is a gorgeous place. Every day would feel like a vacation!
