how did you get the nickname ‘riese’?
my name is marie. mahhhreeee. so my mom always called me “ree” or “ree-ree” when I was a kid, short for “marie.” somehow this became “reese” in high school. when haviland met me, she asked if i had any nicknames ‘cause i didn’t seem like a “marie.” she saw a card my high school friend had written me, calling me “RIS” and liked that better. my agent told me to spell it Riese for easier googling. dum-dum-dum!!!
