  Charlotte Melchers
and has been an official for 30 plus years.  Many awards for judging and
organizing but the most important award was being able to contribute to the
sport of water skiing. I love it!

"I was lucky enough to have taught local kids to ski for twenty years and
watched them enjoy a sport that I loved. I helped develop Mills Pond Park in
Ft. Lauderdale and have been active in Okeeheelee Park for many years.
Being a tournament chairman of many Nationals has given me great
pleasure. Officiating at the Masters for 19 years has been a privilege. The
best part of water skiing for me is the friends you make along the way. They
have all become family to me and I thank them for putting up with my water
skiing dreams. I may be the organizer but they are the force behind me"
