You can take a ride on a luge course next June if you join CoSIDA at the 2004 Workshop
in Calgary and there's a story about President Tammy Boclair's trip down the icy slopes of the city's Olympic Park luge run on FAME's new web page at:

Boclair has the inside scoop on going through customs, airport shuttles, Calgary's downtown and sightseeing possibilities including a trip to Lake Louise in Banff, rated No. 1 for scenery by readers of "Ski Magazine."
On the same site you'll find quotes from "ESPN The Magazine's" editor Gary Hoenig and USA Today columnist Christine Brennan (our Jake Wade Award winner) who took part in a WNBA Symposium in New York City about female athletes and the media.
New Hall of Fame inductee Chris Anderson shares pearls of wisdom from her mentor at Nebraska, Don Bryant. The text from speeches in Cleveland by Warren Berg winner Ann King and Trailblazer Award winner June Stewart also is available. CoSIDA board member Shelly Poe has a summary of FAME's meeting in Cleveland.
