OIo Jlfortitns nnb Jjfame J3 ttkno6jn Many of you uncoordinated mortals can ' t even stand up on land, much less on water. But the next time you ' re out stumbling around on the shore of a lake, look out across the silvery surface and you might see Sammy and Camille Duvall confidently performing tricks and stunts. They aren ' t in a boat or even swimming, but are atop a pair of water skis. Sometimes travelling at speeds faster than attained by some of those heaps you drive, Mortal, they do amazing acrobatics and slalom skiing. So . . . you won ' t believewhatl ' ve just said until you have some proof. Okay, listen. Both Sammy and Camille have been named National Overall Water Skiing Champions — Sammy winning with what tournament officials termed an astounding number of points in 1974 and Camille earning this title an incredible four consecutive years. Both skiers have also held nimierousrecords in their respective divisions — in fact, too many for me to place in your minds at once. Camille was also a member of the 1975-1976 U.S. World Water Ski Team— yes, world— and has competed in international tournaments in both Bogota, Columbia, and London, England. It may seem as though 1 have allowed them to accomplish an amazing amount thus far— and I have— but I ' m sure I can think of something else for them . . . Picture yourself in this situation. Mortal— you are standing alone on a stage, bright Ughts are beaming down upon you, and hundreds of watchful eyes— sometimes even more— are focused on you and your actions. How would you react? Don ' t try to cover it up; I can see you trembling at just the thought of Camille Duvall . . . was named National Overall Water Skiing Champion ... an incredible four consecutive years. this position as an actor or an actress. But for those of you who have passed this fear known as stage fright, let me introduce two of my best performers, Marty and JeffBongfddt. It is possible that you may have seen one of them performing in one of their many Irving Community productions or, forthoseof you who venture to Dallas, the Dallas Ptepertory Theatre While I have thus far limited Marty to these two stages, I ' ve allowed Jeff to perform at the Crystal Palace Dinner Theatre and Dallas Summer Musicals also. Most of Marty ' s parts have been as a chorus member while Jeff has done everything from chorus in Oliver and Brigadoon to Louis in The King and I and the lead part twice out of his three performances of Peter Pan. Both Marty and Jeff have theatrical futures I ' ll have to think about a little . . . ' 3i prdfiles
