Timeline of Dismissal of Coach Gough
AAO.com: Timeline of Spring 2003 Coaching Crisis
In the News section of AAO.com, there are 5 articles detailing the US Speedskating coaching crisis of this past spring. The series starts with Stephen Gough's dismissal on April 4 and continues through the petition campaign up to the announcement of the new national short track coaches on May 20.
It makes a compelling read.

Noelle Still MIA
Hey everyone! Just poking my nose in to say hi to all. The hectic times at work should finally end this week and then I'll be back pulling my weight on OZ again! I've kept up with all the happenings and I know Todd's been having a ball hanging out with y'all.
Thanks to everyone who's filled in this dry spell with such great contributions! I promise I'll come back with some of my previously-unpublished SLC and Bay City pics! Until then, take care! xoxox -Noelle
