Biography

Kris started square dancing in 1990 (dragged to classes by her new sweetie, Turtle-Bear) and calling in 1991. Bill Eyler provided information, inspiration and invaluable mentoring, and the Wilde Bunch provided support and mike time. Kris currently calls Basic through C-2 weekly, and has called for several fly-ins. She's president of the New Mexico Central District Callers Association and editor of the GCA's quarterly newsletter. Turtle-Bear 1s now Kris's life partner; they celebrated their 8th anniversary this year. In her non-square dancing life (is there such a thing?), Kris co-owns a software development company. [1]
