Sandra Hardin Gookin

Age: 29

This year held many highlights for Sandy, culminating in her victorious trip to New York. It was in honor of her recent slimming down; a proud achievement. And, Oooo baby, don't she look great?

Sandy's been very busy at the theater this year. She directed the orchestra in Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver and Oklahoma. She directed Love, Sex and the IRS. And she appeared in Oliver, Smoke on the Mountain and Oklahoma. She sings. She dances. She ha-cha-chas.

On the work side, in addition to managing the theater, Sandy piloted several titles: Teach Yourself Windows 2000 in 24 Hours, PCs for Dummies Quick Reference and the Illustrated Computer Dictionary for Dummies, 4th Edition. To celebrate such achievements in computer book writing, Sandy rewarded herself with a pair of jet skis, which she was still riding out on the lake in October! Sandy hopes for more jet skiing next year, when it warms up. Hopefully.


High style in Disneyworld.


Sandy enjoys modeling some of the new clothes she bought in New York City.
