How did you come up with your name and number?
I'm head chairman for our local logging Jubilee in a small logging town so "stihl" is a brand name of a chainsaw and in 1994 I was the queen of this event, so I put the two together and came up with "stihl queen"! And of course I WILL ALWAYS BE QUEEN! 928 is the phone number prefix of my town, Tuolumne! I am a true Tuolumne girl!
