Katherine Fulp Allen is a returning hero to Half Moon Bay
She is an alumni of Half Moon Bay High School where she excelled in wrestling, drawing wide attention and moving the sport forward locally and in the Bay Area. She graduated from Menlo College where she again excelled in wrestling moving the sport forward locally and nationally. She is two time College National Champion and University World Champion. She has continued her wrestling and has been a member on three national teams and Bronze Medalist at the Olympic Team Trials. We are fortunate to have her drop in to address us as she just flew in from Sweden to participate in a friend’s wedding before heading to Russia and on to Mongolia.
Our Rotary Exchange Student, Anne Sofie or "Fie" as she prefers to be called has been staying with my family since just before the holidays.
It's been a wonderful experience so far and we're all very glad she's joined us.
For Winter Break, we decided to take a family roadtrip to Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon, Sedona and on the way home, we stopped in Solvang. You can check out Fie's blog here for more pictures and her observations....
There's an English translation link in case you can't read Danish. :)
