I didn’t feel ready, but at least we were taking a team this year. And we’d see Allison.Melody didn’t have a break at the same time we did at SC...U. She and Kate wouldn’t be able to join us in Tempe. That meant we were in trouble regarding Ice Queen Sportswear. Intercollegiates were to be the introductory venue for Ice Queen Knights. Wendy’s quarter break was at the same time as mine and she spent hours with Melody going over the stock and booth management. Wendy could handle orders and take.
