As we bid adieu to the XXXth Olympiad,...

We remember with fondness little Paulette Huntinova, the gymnast who captured our hearts with her unforgettable performances in...

the floor exercises (3:24),...

the uneven parallel bars (1:40), and ...

the balance beam (3:33).

We shall not soon see her like again.

    Jeannelle, I love bringing little-known people and facts to the attention of my readers.

    Yorkette Puddingova, how perfectly ungentlemanly of you to say such an unkind thing about such a sweet young girl as Paulette. I'm sure she will develop all the proper feminine curves in due time. It is tragic, though, that she has been burdened with having so much facial hair.
