Froehlich
Steve Froehlich is vice president of business
development for BOSU ® Fitness, the
preeminent fitness company teaching
professional athletes balance training today.
“My whole life, I wanted to play professional
baseball,” Froehlich says. “It’s a dream that
fought a hard death, well after I finished
playing Division-I NCAA football.”
Froehlich chose to write about U.S.
Marine intelligence officer and bikini
competitor, Samantha Fishow, because his
lifelong experience in sports, combined
with a career devoted to training elite pro
athletes, drew him to Fishow’s intensely
competitive nature.
See Froehlich’s “Operation Bikini
Freedom,” page 32.
Pat
Sherman
Pat Sherman studied writing at Southwestern and
City Colleges and was a San Diego Union-Tribune
staff writer for over five years. His fascination with
historic structures led him to write about the El
Cortez Apartment Hotel’s storied past.
“Prior to its renovation, while the El Cortez
was populated only by vagrants and ghosts,” he
says, “its neon sign seemed to blink in Morse
code: S.A.V.E. M.E.”
Sherman believes Patrick Bilbray’s performance
on the Imperial Beach City Council will be something to watch.
“It will be interesting to see how far up the political ladder the more moderate, surf-minded
son can follow his congressman father,” he says.
See Sherman’s “The ‘El’ Word,” page 26, and “The Life of Brians,” page 30.
