Note the invi- Continued on page 14 NOVEMBER 2011 3 Bayside In August, Colleen Kelly, a well-known Australian clini- cian, held a 3-day clinic at Breezy Run Farm, Church Hill, Md. on the Eastern Shore. Colleen’s focus was on seat and balance and the biomechanics of horse and rider. That Friday night she gave a video lecture and we had a wonder- ful barbecue, prepared by Vicky Meyer, owner of the farm. During the lecture we got hit by a nasty thunderstorm and lost power for a while, but Colleen’s sense of humor made it a lot of fun, and we continued in the dark. Saturday and Sunday were divided into group training sessions under saddle in walk and trot. One of the biggest “aha” moments was when all of the rider’s bodies leaned to the right or to the left, causing all of our horses to go off balance, too. She also noticed that all of our stirrups needed to be shortened by 3 holes....ouch! photo by Norm St. Landau On September 18 the PVDA Bayside Chapter held its Clinician Colleen Kelly at the August 19-21 Biomechanics 2nd Annual Dressage Schooling Show at Crawford’s Clinic at Breezy Run Farm, Church Hill, Md., gives pointers to Chance in Centreville, managed by LKM Dressage.

  • Miller-Kristie-And-Joanna-Sturm.Pdf
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Foreign Service Spouse Series KRISTIE MILLER & JOANNA STURM Interviewed by: Jewell Fenzi Initial interview date: September 9, 1989 Joanna Sturm, the granddaughter of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, grew up in the Miller household. In 1965, she and Kristie Miller accompanied Mrs. Longworth and Joan Braden on a trip to Japan. Mrs. Dorothy Emmerson, whose husband was chargé d'affaires in Tokyo at the time, was apparently Mrs. Longworth's embassy escort. (See final two pages of the Dorothy Emmerson interview conducted by Hope Meyers.) In 1980-1983, as spouse of the chargé d'affaires in Mozambique, Kristie Miller was hostess for at least one CODEL (Congressional Delegation) and for numerous visiting American VIPs. In an effort to compare her experiences as spouse of the chargé with her impressions of embassy participation in the Longworth visit, the interviewer met with Joanna Sturm and Kristie Miller on September 9, 1989, to record their memories of their stay in Tokyo. Those segments of the tape which dealt with the trip to Japan are transcribed below, along with pertinent discussions of Mozambique. The remainder of the tape involved discussions of the education of women in the 1920s, feminism, children, and reminiscences of Joanna Sturm's visits to each of Kristie Miller's posts. MILLER: I thought the Foreign Service worked for me in a lot of ways, because I liked being overseas and I generally was able to move around and travel and get to see things that I would never have been able to see.

I am interviewing Kristie Miller at my home in Washington, DC. Kristie was a Foreign Service spouse from 1969 to 1984, when she was divorced. She has a very illustrious family background which I think we could spend hours discussing, but I have made interviewer's notes which have been included in her transcript. 1 Kristie herself served in Beirut, Dhahran, Caracas, Maputo and New London, Connecticut. She is a teacher, she is also a writer, and during her stay in Maputo she used her writing ability in a series of columns to her father's newspaper in Peru, Illinois. The columns were, I think, an escape hatch for the frustrations which built up in Maputo in a time of severe drought and continual civil unrest. But I will let Kristie tell the story herself. [My introduction] refers to those columns as the wick, if you will, by which you got rid of some of your Mozambique frustrations.
