William BurmeisterYouth Exhibits5 555 
Nancy Burmeister64 Photography5 555The fact it is my time and my judge had a stroke I had a hard time understanding her and we were all confused regarding the ribbons, I asked why some photo’s were chosen over another.  I feel it came down to the fact she knew particular children.
