llo ' nci} ccorhtng t o ts JVMItttcs I know, Mortal, that you think you have brought the land, the sea, and even the airways under your power. You are sadly mistaken! I make the skies safe for you every time you step on a plane I guide the persons who pilot those planes. Take Marilyn Hilborn, for instance. She began flying in December 1975, has already earned her private license, and will soon receive her commercial, instrument, and her instructor ' s ratings. Keep in mind that she doesn ' t do all this just for fun— she plans to make a career of it. She has worked harder than many of you sluggards and deserves to be able to enter flying as her livelihood. Hey— that ' s certainly a good idea! I must make a note of that . . . Now, how many of you can blast, from the sky, 85 pigeons out of 100? No, I am not declaring open season on the poor innoc ent statue- dwellers in the public parks. I am just mentioning the average number of clay pigeons that Judy and Jim Sims hit when skeet shooting at the local gun clubs. They spend much of their leisure time in practice, and it has paid off. I have led them to many awards and honors in meets all over the country. Jim even won a first place trophy in the Class E Buck Stark Competition at the Dallas Gun Club. They have also placed in competitions in Kent County, Michigan, and at Roaring Forks, Colorado. I take immense pride in their work— and rightly so. I am responsible for their past success, as well as any future glory which may lie within their range. What has long hair, eight wheels, and dances? Can ' t figure it out, eh, Mortal? Well, it ' s Unda Hill— when she roller skates! This activity claims much of her free time and her diligent practice has led her to many honors. As early as 1967 she was awarded a trophy for figure and freestyle skating. In 1968 she received a prize for freestyle-dance competition. Pretty good, huh? She wants to manage her own rink and instruct both rookie and apprentice skaters in the future. I think I can work that one out . . . Who would have thought I would need to burn a house to uncover a natural talent? But since all of my other methods failed . . . VinoePc»l would never haveknown the extent of his agility on wheels if his home had not been destroyed by fire two years ago — forcing his family to move into an apartment while repairs were carried out. He began roller skating to alleviate his initial boredom while adjusting to his unfamiliar habitat. His talent has been recognized by skating professionals, and though he has had no lessons he has been asked to skate for Mid-Cities Skateland in Irving. He enjoys freestyle skating and would Hke to take lessons to polish his technique ... I think such results have justified my small fit of pyromania — no matter what you may say, common Mortal! Vince Pool . . . has been asked to skate for Mid-Cities Skateland in Irving. 28 profiles
