Introduction A confirmed love of tap dancing was replaced by a love for paddling, years ago: I'm pretty dang old but still try as best I can to hang. I was the first girl to paddle the Green Narrows and 2nd girl to paddle the NF Payette and Niagara Gorge; Chair of USA Freestyle Kayaking, International Whitewater Hall of Fame, and the Potomac Whitewater Festival in Washington, DC. I co-produce Whitewater Courses and Parks conferences, next in Salida May, 2010. I love working with the McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group...engineers/designers of the new courses in Green River, Wyoming and Boise, Idaho!
Interests Enjoying whitewater paddling, meeting whitewater paddlers, encouraging opportunities for whitewater sport and supporting Stanford University as a loyal alumna.
