F.I.G. Judging Course

"Very unexpectedly SCAT Direrctor Bud Marquette was asked to set up a West Coast judging course for women which was to be conducted by the world renowned Hungarian expert Madame Nagy. Burning the midnight oil and thousands of miles of phone conversations - all this was established while in Denver, attending the World Games Trial Championships. Arriving home August 9, all plans were finalized and the classes began promptly at 9:00 on Monday. In attendance were nine ladies hurriedly assembled from various parts of the West Coast. Conducting the sessions from 9:00 a.m. untill 5:00 p.m. for four successive days was truly a challenge to many of the ladies. All those taking the course passed with a grade point of 7.0 or better. However three who showed promise of future International ability were Sharon Weber of Huntington Beach with an incredible score of 9.0, followed by Karen Patiole (Wisen) of Seattle, Washington with an 8.6 and then Sue Singrin of Long Beach with a score of 8.3. Mrs. Ingrid Schindler did an excellent job as interpreter as everyone gained unforgettable knowledge from this most wonderful person, Madame Nagy. At the conclusion of the tests Madame Nagy was given personal gifts for her remembrance of us. The Long Beach Scats, 1970 USGF and AAU National Champions presented her with a memorable plaque and colored group photo of the team.

We all considered it a great privilege and honor to have spent so brief a time with such a tremendous person who we know has such a busy schedule. Our thanks also to Mr. Frank Bare and the USGF for making this possible."

The mascots were Misha bears. Julie Ann McNamara and Tracie Talavera were in the meet. It was held in the Allentown, PA area. Those are the old royal blue uniforms.
