Subject: When I got her autograph October 18, 2002, Phyllis George pointedly asked me my thoughts on this pageant. I said I liked Harold. In reality I've played Preslar's talent repeatedly plus watched her state pageant's talent & interview.

All I remember is she was a Harvard Law student. That ain’t nothing. Oh, and then there’s the fact than Fran Skinner was the Illinois director who also prepped Marjorie Vincent and Kate Shindle.

Subject Author Date Glad to see positive comments about Harold because folks - including me - often rail against her win because of what it said systemically about the pageant and how its judging system could be executed incorrectly (i.e. liking a girl in interview and subconsciously giving them extra points in other competitions, given overall issues with subjectivity in judging [no structure or rubrics for actually deciding on scores, etc] allowing them to come away with the crown) but by all accounts she is an intelligent, charming, accomplished and beautiful woman. But a girl like Preslar, who isn't quite as strong in interview (but still charming and smart!) should by all accounts have won, given strength across the on-stage competitions. (NT) It's the holidays - I'll settle down after this comment hah (99-74-180-249.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/99.74.180.249) 15:53:15 12/24/24 Tue
