CURLING HIGHLIGHTS

PERSONAL FILE
Curls out of: Granite Curling Club, Seattle, Wash.

Curling start: "My husband and I watched Sandra Schmirler's rink win the gold at the Nagano Olympics and decided to give the sport a try."

What she enjoys most about curling: "Curling with good friends. We can't imagine our lives without the friends we've met through curling."

Other sports: Soccer, softball, snowboarding

Favorite curling moment: Winning the C and D events at the mid-summer mixed bonspiel in Osoyoos with my husband and our friends Darren and Tammy Lehto. The little silver cups we received sit proudly on our bookshelves and the hospitality shown by the club was amazing."
