                                    Royce/Chip/Wendy:I am so sorry to hear about Colleen's passing.  She taught me twirling for several years and was always so encouraging.  She had more faith in my ability than what I ever could.  I loved her very much and will always be appreciative of her.  (PNG Twirler 1980-1982)
