...editors is a little tense. So I suggested coming up with a list of people she wasn't going to thank, including the stars and director, since they would never thank the sound mixer.

"Bill [Demong], Johnny [Spillane] and Todd [Lodwick] came up together as juniors and have been doing this for a long time. America is a force." Now when they trek through Europe on the Nordic combined circuit, the skiers can leave the sleeping bags at home. And they won't have to flee the bagman...
