"It's time to say farewell to all of my wonderful staff, students, parents, and the gym I birthed some 40 years ago. I have loved teaching my students, my babies, and my Kips Team. What a fun ride it was. I want to thank you (3 generations) for trusting me with your children. They always want to succeed and learn all they can. I shall never forget you. I take great comfort in Holly knowing that she will continue the traditions of SCG plus adding her own wonderful style. So long!"
