We had ethical issues
with Shelly's work at first. And we especially didn't like it when she
brought chemical samples to paddling practice in the back of her minivan.
But her line of work pays well, and her company has produced some fine biocides for farmers and pest controllers. Shelly herself is a righteously-fun person. She dances in parking lots (see photo on the right), sings on the bus, squeals at firemen, and paddles with outrageous screams! Rob once asked her why she likes to scream during dragon boat races:
Shelly's screaming has now become a fixed part of our River Rats club! She signals the team when it's two minutes into the race with her ear-splitting howl! (The firemen really dig her, too... they say she can outsqueal their siren on their chase boat!) You're the best, Shelly!! It's good to have you paddling with us! |
