We have pictures from Golden West. Since the USFSA requires that we have signed permissions for each skater that we take pictures of, we can only post pictures of five of the skaters.

We are starting to post reports from Golden West

Sep. 2009

We will be at Golden West this weekend. We will again be asking for signed release forms, and we will make every effort to get the photos to the skaters and their families. I apologize again for the mess up with Southwest Pacs.

Apr. 2009

Marshall took some pictures of the new cheetah cub at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

Apology

I must apologize to all of the people who signed release forms for us at Southwest Pacs. We had some things happen shortly afterwards that distracted us (IIRC, Antoinette lost her notes, among other things) and I never got around to going through the pics or sending copies to the skaters.

We are back from Southwest Pacific Regionals, and are starting to put up the reports. (Updated: 10-Oct-2008)

United 93

Joanna Glick was a National level competitor at the turn of the century. I met Joanna and her family at several events and you can read about one of them here:

2001 Nationals:

• Jr. Ladies Short
• Jr. Ladies Free

Joanna's older brother Jeremy Glick was one of the courageous passengers of United Flight 93 who stopped the 9/11 hijackers from blowing up the White House. A film about Jeremy and those other extraordinary people on United 93 will be out on DVD September 5. You can pre-order it from Amazon.com.

Widescreen	2-Disc Special Edition

Besides his sister and parents Jeremy was survived by his wife, Lyz, and infant daughter, Emmy. Lyz has produced a memorial to Jeremy in the form of a book: "Your Father's Voice: Letters for Emmy About Life with Jeremy--and Without Him After 9/11".

Cat's Lair is the personal web site of Richard Hartman & Antoinette Aubert. This section is dedicated to figure skating. We regularly attend US Nationals and post a (semi)daily diary entry about the practices & events we attend. We and also attend other events when they are held nearby.

And we take pictures ... lots of pictures, some of which you can preview on these pages. If you don't see the skater you are interested in, feel free to ask us. Due to recent USFSA policy changes, our pictures are no longer for sale. Check here for the Cat's Lair photo policy.

The pictures are mainly taken by Richard, although Antoinette takes some of them.
