Felisa P. Relton
Felisa 'Lizzie' Relton is a 16 year-old Grade 11 student at Coffs Harbour Christian Community High School in Bonville, New South Wales, Australia.
She is
a champion ten-pin-bowler. At age 14, with 58 trophies altogether, she
bowled against more experienced 18 year-olds and made it to the NSW state
team as a reserve.
Fe, her
mother, who was my friend from the NCSO statistical manpower training days
way back in the mid-70s, described her as 'sports-mad'.
Lizzie and I both like to take the more daring rides at amusement parks!
Congratulations, Lizzie!

Dear Aunty Ana,
How are you going? Did you get my photos and X-mas card? I have great
news... I have been accepted into the University of Newcastle for a
Bach.
Bus. and will hopefully major in marketing. Mum has some of the textbooks
already so that is great! Even though I wanted to become a teacher
I thought
hard about where I would be in the long run...probably out west which
means
isolation and away from my church.
(I couldn't handle that)Anyway I visited your webpage and got a shock
to see
photos of me!!! The poems and photos are exquisite and I can tell you
have
put a lot of hard work into it. Well done!
Sadly Dad will be on his own when I leave for Newcastle, but I'll try
and
make it back as often as I can.
Happy 51st Birthday! It's good to see you using the time to do EXCITING
things!
Cheerio and many happy returns
Love Lizzie
Here are some quotes from Lizzie's latest letter:
"I did get a chance to visit your website! It's fantastic! Although, I think you should have more photos in the art galary section, however, I did like the beautiful photo of the deer. Did you write the poems yourself?" . . .
. . . By the way, I told everyone at school about it,and their eyes almost popped out, because no-one, except me, knows anyone who has their own website."
"Guess
what!? I made another lane record at the ten-pin-bowling centre! Also,
I went horse-riding all weekend at Ballina. I love horses, do you?"
