the minute... Let's meet'em!
They are the CANTER FAMILY from Mint
Hill, NC, Brooke, Bailey (13-year-old twins), Taylor (15), Tori (17),
Danielle & Barry! Their motto: "Family First".
The aforementioned players are MIKE
NEUMANN (San Diego) and MARGIE FOGAL (Orange County, CA).

COMPLETE! (678, $1000)

your body for leverage.
