Name: Elaine
Hensiek Lamond
I twirled
with Diane's Twirlettes from: 1968-1971
When I
twirled I lived in: Woburn
I now live
in: The Lakes Region of NH
After high
school I: Moved to Southern New Hampshire, married
and started our family.
Currently I:
Am employed by Concord School District. I
work in Special Education at the High School and run our
program's greenhouse.
My most
memorable twirling moment: I entered a water ski
competition. (Bear with me.) Trying to come up with
something clever to do, I decided I would twirl my baton
while water skiing. All was going well. I was twirling
away skiing across the lake and feeling pretty confident
until I dropped my baton! Needless to say, my baton sunk to
the bottom of lake and I didn't exactly come home with a
trophy!
What I
liked best about twirling: Practicing with my
friends, doing double routines and mastering new
tricks. I also liked marching in the parades in Boston
and, of course, the Halloween Parade in Woburn.
What life
lessons I learned from twirling: ALWAYS, ALWAYS,
ALWAYS wear a smile! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER say, "I
can't."
My
twirling teacher was: Diane
I still
take my baton out once in a while True/False:
Absolutely True! I take off my rings and try to
remember my old routine. I drop it a lot, but it's still
fun! I love finger twirls!
Other: I
enjoy kayaking different lakes in New Hampshire. My
husband and I live a quiet life with our dog. Our two
sons are grown and have homes of their own. It's hard
to believe it has been over forty years since I took
baton lessons!
