News tips

How old was Lou Ann Palmer? Sixtysomething, I'm guessing? When she did that handstand, I gasped with delight.
And you know she's been waiting YEARS to be able to show off on national TV!

I used to cover city government as a reporter in Sarasota, and I've met Lou Ann. She's ... well ... ebulliant.

Here's what you need to know about Lou Ann (courtesy of the city of Sarasota Web site):

"Lou Ann was an accomplished performer at the Sarasota Players, the Florida West Coast Symphony, and the Sailor Circus as a youngster, and a choreographer and director of the Miss Florida Pageant in the 1960s and '70s."

She was "American Idol" before "American Idol" was cool!
