Thanks for that article. I love watching Joy when she was here at OSU. It brings back memories!! Nice to hear about her life now.

: I'm not sure what occasioned this article in
: March of 2003 (Salbasgeon?) ... I ran across
: it again earlier this season ... Joy Selig
: was (arguably?) the most decorated OSU
: Gymnast (7 1st Team All-American awards, 3
: National titles, etc.) ... and this is what
: she said about Tanya ...
:
: Balancing act
:
: " ... After finishing a remarkable
: gymnastics career at OSU, Peterson stuck
: with gymnastics as an assistant coach at the
: University of Washington. It was there that
: she worked closely with a former competitor
: and current OSU coach Tanya Chaplin.
:
: "It was weird, but it was cool working
: with Tanya," Peterson said. "Her
: gymnastics resume was a lot better than
: mine, so I was often awestruck standing next
: to her. I was always like ‘Wow, I'm standing
: next to Tanya Chaplin.' " ..."

: Possibly my most memorable experience of OSU
: Gymnastics was getting to meet her at
: Nationals is 2006 ... and have her come up
: to me after Event Finals and thank me for my
: support of OSU Gymnastics!
