I an Cannot uspenh ts (Sfat Hello, Mortal. This is Fate speaking. Don ' t get that bewildered look on your face — I ' m the guy who put Jimmy Carter in office and made it rain on your Homecoming Parade. Remember when I softened up and helped you complete that six-weeks project in three? No, no autographs today, because I ' ve got more important things to do. I merely called to inform you of a few of my recent accomplishments. These are all minor, of course — my really good ones would boggle your common, feeble mind. Let meseenow . . .I ' ve got a couple of ski champions, an actor, a pilot . . . okay, okay, I ' ll start with the motocross champion. So pay attention, for Fate doesn ' t say anything twice. Sean O ' Brien is this motorcycle master I ' m referring to ... I did a great job with him. You see, he isn ' t the type of guy you ' d see riding a Honda 50 in the field behind your house, because he ' s one of the nation ' s top 45 amateur cyclists in the 125cc class. You heard me right— top 45— in fact, Sean placed thirteenth when competing against the other 44 riders in California in October 1976. He has also won several minicycle championships and other contests, but I haven ' t time to go into these. I must consider Sean ' s future as a motorcyclist now. Let ' s see, he wants to turn pro at age 16 . . . While skillful handling and controlling of a ball never seemed to really excite me, it has always appeared to fascinate you humans. For some this ball may be a football, for others a basketball, but for Paul Doubet it is a soccer ball. Paul was a member of the national soccer team— the U.S. Youth Team, I believe — which toured Germany in the fall of 1975. The team was comprised of only 16 players under the age of 19 for this soccer tour that included the German cities of Hannover, Kiel, Hamburg, and Berlin. A once in a lifetime experience you say now — I couldn ' t have said it better. I know how most of you mortals behave whenever you ' re turned loose in a swimming pool or lake. You constantly splash and splatter water, making an absolute fool out of yourself. That ' s why I enjoy watching Rebecca Earl take part in the sport of synchronized swdmming. Here, considerable body control and graceful actions are combined while competing in the water sport she describes as a combination of figure skating and gymnastics. She has done quite well thus far, placing first in all three phases — solo, duet, and team — on both the association and regional levels. By the way, she has also travelled to such cities as Des Moines, Kansas City, Washington D.C., and Denver while competing. Kelly Lea is next on my list and I think you should at least glance at her picture — doesn ' t she look great? While many of you have school portra its that I wouldn ' t even hang in my closet, Kelly is a model who repeatedly takes good pictures. Since the age of 13, Kelly has been involved in modeling with the Sanger-Harris and Titche ' s Teen Boards. And while I wouldn ' t even consider putting many of you beneath, much less atop, a modeling stage, I have placed Kelly upon them while participating in fashion shows at Irving Mall, Northpark, and Neiman-Marcus. I understand she wants to someday model at the Apparel Mart on a regular basis in place of the occasional job offerings she gets there now. That ' s something I ' ll have to look into . . .
