vis and Charlie White served as guest presenters, sharing instruction and coaching directives that included an on-ice skills class. Christine Fowler-Binder and Kelley Morris-
Adair represented the Professional Skaters Asso- ciation and led the coaches’ education track. Par- ents of camp attendees participated in a special presentation and question-and-answer discussion led by Cheryl Davis and Jacqui White, mothers
of Meryl and Charlie. “Having such an accomplished faculty with the addition of Meryl and Charlie as guest pre- senters really made this camp extraordinary,” said John Millier, chair of the dance committee. “T ere are few opportunities for skaters to have access to this many World and Olympic offi cials so early in the season, in addition to other pre- senters who are recognized as some of the top in their respective fi elds.”
