Yes, I helped the reporter. we had to give her a crash course on the world of yoyos with as many specifics as she could gather and organize. Nancy said she wanted to write the article in a way that if somebody knew nothing about yoyoing, after reading this article they would be equipped with enough to go and try to yo. She was excited about the story so much so that she made sure it was printed in the Sunday edition to try to reach as many readers as possible. ---

Favorite quote: “Little did he know at the time, but the yo-yo community is tens of thousands strong, with a multitude of conversations happening within online communities at any time and people of all ages buying, selling and talking about different styles.” Yeah; all kinds of stuff…
