Isabel in the Student Paper

Not sure how I missed this, but Isabel had a great article about her in the high school paper last year.  Oh well.  As Ferris Bueller says, “Life moves pretty fast…”

The Harding Name

Not sure how much weight to give these Naming sites, like the HouseofNames.com… love the fact that the Hardings go back to 1600’s Boston, that there was a Buster Harding who was a Jazz musician, and of course that we have a former US President named Harding (who’s no longer the worst… we’re #39!)  Troubled that almost all the ‘Historic events for the Harding Family’ involved ship sinkings, including the Titanic.  Probably just as well that I no longer own a boat.

Isabel update – healing and back to school

Isabel Harding is back to school, and thinking big thoughts of dance and life beyond Paly.

She’s still convalescing, but is close to returning to the studio to get back into top ballet form.  She’s also broadening her artistic interests with more voice and theatre involvement, and related extracurricular activities.

Here’s a link to an article about her and her team from last season, celebrating her longevity in local ballet, as well as the impressive commitment in terms of training and rehearsals made by these dancers.

 

Henry’s stats from last season

Henry Harding had a great season with the Jr. Sharks last year when he skated out, and tied as Point leader, with 24 points coming from 13 goals and 11 assists. He averaged almost 2 pts per game, through the course of the team’s 8-3-3 season, which resulted in a trip to the NorCal finals.

This season Henry is in goal with the Jr. Sharks 12U AAA team, which kicks off with the Tinseltown Tournament  Labor day weekend.

Link to his 2017 stats are on the NorCal website

Job search is over

Thanks to everyone who helped with referrals, contacts and support. The job search is over after about 5 weeks of serious work. I’m impressed by the number of great jobs available here in the Bay area, and by the innovation shown by so many startups. Time to shop for a new wardrobe… and a different car. 🙂

Isabel’s latest Dance competitions

Isabel is busy on the big stage these days at a number of dance competitions, with a couple recent ones in our area being Encore and KAR. Here are a couple clips of her in action:
