It was such a great surprise because I was so busy helping Kris get items for the 2015 President Anna Schloff Memory Book without Anna knowing, and here she was also making this for me! I would like to thank everyone who took the time to send in photos, write a little comment and share with me in this wonderful memento of my 15 years with WCFO, INC. Thank you all, especially all the juniors, starting with Julie Norman (now Jenkins) who began with me in This book is priceless to me and I will cherish it always. It sits on my coffee table in my home for all to see. Thank you Kris for taking time to create this with such love and joy. Patie Ventre._,_. Paul and I traveled to the most wonderful WCFO International Conference in Seattle. It was a great honor for Jack and I to present our routines to some great world- wide judges: Attila Szkukalek-The UK, Donelda Guy-Jersey Channel Islands, Andy Shimada-Japan, Misa Sagayama-Japan, Caroline Hudnall-Montana, Cindy James-Arizona, Una Valanski-Pennsylvania, Kathy Clayton- South Africa and Ray Underwood-BC Canada. Jack and I did not qualify but we did earn some scores in the 9's and also received some great comments. Each of these judges are top trainers, performers and judges from their countries, so I was very happy to gain this experience. After a private lesson with Donelda Guy, I learned some skills to stop Jack from talking to me during our routines. In fact, the second day Con nued pg. 27 1
