Had a hole in one.

For my 54th BD, married the finest man I ever met.

Wow, great stuff!

As children, my twin brother and I were on Romper Room for a week!

As an adult, I auditioned for Wheel of Fortune and made it to the top twelve! I just couldn't act like an enthusiastic participant (aka "idiot") to go on any further.

I've cave dived in my younger days...When scuba diving, we would jump in springs covered in duck-weed, wondering if we had completely lost our minds and found a sloth bone while there.....Wreck-diving was not quite as crazy but fun, in the process found torpedo bottle (old soda bottle that was stored in a rack because bottom was round), and at the time, couldn't see our hand in front of our face....Also while diving the Bahamas, a GIANT something, fortunately heading away from us, dorsel fin was at least 15 feet tall, I know, I know, a fish "Tale", but it was scary, I was told that I "walked on water" getting back in the boat...Yipsters!

Oh speaking of iron butts, that reminds me, I road in a two-day, 100 mile-per-day bicycle ride.

Pturner, it was skiing, giant slamon and slamon

And shimpy, 1000 miles in one day? I ride a Harley Roadking, and my butt hurts after 300 miles in a day, that is about the most I have done. I understand how the club got it's name. My helmet is off to you.

In May of 2004, I caught the Women's IGFA World Record Red Snapper on flyrod while fishing near Cocodrie, LA. It weighed a whopping 22-pounds and still stands as the heaviest fly-caught red snapper in the world. Ironically, a Canadian TV crew was on our boat that day shooting a show,called "The New Flyfisher," so needless to say they were thrilled to have it on film. The snapper was hooked and landed in 130-ft. of water while tied off an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. I also hold numerous other World Records for saltwater fly fishing for various species.
