I will never forget making little Brenda Nichols cry when, as safety director for one of our early 80's tournaments in Reading, PA, I told her she was _not _going over the jump on those 60's era cut-down wooden jumpers with screws hanging out the bottom. Ed then bought her a pair of well used, cut-down 70's era EPs from Jimmy Mandolos' niece so she could ski. I like to think I somehow contributed to her future success, but more likely there was nothing holding her back.
