Welcome Madi! We are so glad to have you join our small, but growing group.
We are just hoping that in a matter of time, we will grow to a larger
group! Thank you for answering the questionaire. I wish I had paid
attention to the Olympics in 96, and gotten to see Cathy back then. But, I
am thankful to catch her now. Just hoping to find out when she is racing
and where. I know she competes in races all over the globe from time to
time. Would be nice to catch her at one!

Don't forget to check out the files section on our egroups. I am slowely
trying to upload pictures there of Cathy. You are all welcome to submit
some as well!

I searched again today in the Aussie news, but found no information on who
is possibly going to be her new management. Once, they are set going to try
and see if they will list her races and promotional events.

And Madi, your english is very good. I tried to learn polish about 8 years
ago and gave up trying. It was so hard. So, if you can translate your
thoughts into english...then you are doing incredible in my eyes!

Again, thanks for joining us! Great to have another devoted fan!
