Diane Barnett-Chermak, LCM has the “need for speed!” 
Pictured here on her Quad in the desert Diane has been riding for only three years and writes, “Imagine taking up such a sport when you are over 50 years old. My Grandpa's brother was Ed Kretz who won the first Iron Man motorcycle race. He has a museum in Colorado. Guess it's in my blood. I love to go as fast as I can. I also love curves and modest jumps and mild motocross type terrain. We do a lot of exploring as well. My dog Addie likes to sit in front of me on the seat and take rides. Her balance has gotten quite good. She is upset when I take off without her. We ride in the desert. Ocotillo wells, Glamis, and out by the Salton Sea. I don't water ski much anymore so this thrills my need for speed.” Keep on riding Diane!
Fran Donovan son, Ryan
Be sure to watch for my son, Ryan Donovan, singing Happy Birthday to his sister Jennifer during an ESPN sport fishing competition next March.
My son Ryan lives in Dallas and was involved in 2 Sport Fishing tournaments in Cabo San Lucas in the last two weeks with prizes of more than $3 Million.
Ryan owns a sport fishing business in Cabo called RedRum Sport Fishing and is thus an avid sport fishing enthusiast. In the first event ESPN leased Ryan's boats for a 3 day televised competition with prizes totaling more than $3 million dollars for the largest fish. Ryan did not win any prizes but was able to sing Happy Birthday to his sister Jennifer while the ESPN cameras were rolling. So I'm hoping that might be broadcast rather than end up on the editing floor.
The competition was called "Who Wants to go Fishing?" and the folks from ESPN traveled around the country with a van blaring the question, "Who wants to go fishing?” As volunteers lined up, the folks from ESPN chose a large number of people from around the country and gave them all expense paid trips to Cabo San Lucas to compete in this event. ESPN will televise this competition some time next March.
The following week, Ryan caught several very large tuna and marlin in a TUNA competition but did not win the $3 million prize then either. For those who do not know much about sportfishing competitions, these fishing events are expensive and each competitor pays more than $1000 to compete in a 3 day event. The prize money is a complicated algorithm of how many people per boat, the weight of the fish, the length of the fish, etc.
Bless his heart is all I can say.”
Beth Catton’s Daughter, Jacqui
Our 11 year old daughter, Jacqui is an avid sports player competing in baseball, gymnastics, volleyball and especially, SOCCER! Jacqui has been in constant motion since she was able to crawl and developed a love for speed and competition early on. She is fortunate to be the youngest of our family of five children and benefits from the pummeling she has received from her older siblings by being “tough” and focused in competition.
Jacqui’s nickname bestowed on her by her friends is “ADIDAS”. For those of you who do not know what ADIDAS stands for it is the acronym: ALL DAY I DREAM ABOUT SPORTS. Jacqui has been the captain of her travel soccer team for the last 2 years and plays forward striker. She is trying out for a new club team that will have “premier” or the highest level of soccer status when she turns 12 next year. Her team recently won their age bracket at the Nike Harvest Cup in Orange County and she will be traveling and competing over the winter season in both the Celtic Cup and State Championship Soccer tournament in California. Our family teases her about this picture because she rarely looks this “sweet” when she is playing soccer. I am happy to say I am a “Soccer Mom” and loving it!
