The Memories Of Our Journey
Welcome! This page is intended to be a pictorial depiction of my (and several of my friends') trip to the 2003 Atlanta, Georgia NFL Speech and Debate National Tournament. I hope you enjoy it, and if you have any questions (particularly about the stories I allude to here, although don't be surprised if I refuse to elaborate -- they are mostly inside jokes that you wouldn't get anyway) feel free to email me at cmowder@altamontks.com.
Now, on with the fun!
That's the entire group of competitors (we also brought judges/coaches/sponsors who aren't included in this photo and who remained relentlessly camera-shy throughout the majority of the trip).
These people are (L-R) Front Row: J.R. Covvey (Pittsburg - USX), Chelsea Kriebel (FKHS - Guest), Nicole Schneider (FKHS - Policy Debate), Jenny White (FKHS - Policy Debate), Kara Thiele (FKHS - Policy Debate), and Chris DeLaCruz (FKHS - Lincoln-Douglas Debate).
Back Row: Eddie Penner (Pittsburg - Ted Turner Debate), Christopher Mowder (me) (LCHS - Lincoln-Douglas Debate & Original Oration), Josh Shald (FKHS - House), Josh Elliot (Pittsburg - FX), Jesse Niebaum (Pittsburg - Ted Turner Debate), and Kyle Law (who's hiding behind DLC's 'fro) (FKHS - Policy Debate).
Since Kyle decided to hide in the "group" picture, here's one of him in full view:
That's John Burris (FKHS - Judge), DLC and Kyle. They're giving me their "Go To Hell!" looks for taking pictures at 8 in the morning.
