a HF®' fl IKHrw UcvV* 1 \H t O SKI ■J b 4 » w 1 /f, ■ i 'II. * BRAZILIAN WATER SKIER AT BART S — Recently. Marcelo Ferreira, a college student from Sao Paulo. Brazil, traveled all the way from his hometown to Bart's Water Ski Center. North Webster, just to buy w ater skis. Ferreira explained. "You can't buy good skis in Brazil. I learned of Bart’s by reading "Water Ski" magazine. 1 wrote for a catalog, and Bart's sent me one. Once I saw which skis I liked best. I convinced my father to give me the trip. Because of all the taxes, it was just as easy to come to America to get the skis rather than have Bart's ship them." Ferreira traveled in a rather unorthodox manner to get to Bart's. \fter the usual plane rides with plane changes, he arrived in South Bend to take a bus. The people at the bus station didn't know where North Webster was and told him to go to Gary. Once there, he was sent to Indianapolis. Finally ending up in Fort Wayne, he took a taxi to North W ebster. During his visit, he stayed with the owner of Bart's Water Ski Center, Bart Culver and family, and Bart's employee. Karen Goldenberg, served as a tour guide. What did Ferreira think about his adventure to Bart's? "It was worth it. 1 think Barts -the best." he said. And what about the town of North W ebster? Ferreira commented. “I liked it fl lot. It's not too little." Pictured are Ferreira with Karen Goldenberg and Bart Culver.
