" No, I am an "edumacator" who was born in the 1970's. "

" BIO about Paul Buethe:
'Paul Buethe (used BIO from 1996 AYYA Newsletter) - I am 25 years old and have been in the State of YO for nine years now. Like many, I was inspired by the Smothers Brothers Yo-Yo Man routine. I sold yo-yos as a teen through "Pauls Yo-Yo Shed" and still perform professionally. Ive also held yo-yo contests and ran a yo-yo club in Lodi, CA. Although Ive placed well in many yo-yo contests, I am most proud of winning first place at the California State Speech Championships in 1990. It was an expository speech on yo-yos. Over the years, Ive had the pleasure of meeting many great people in the world of YO. Ive learned a lot from these people and experiences. Now, I wish to continue putting my experiences and knowledge of this sport to good use with the AYYA!'

last I heard he was yo'ing 'professionally' in japan. "

i have an original SB (not the SB2). "

" Say What? I thought Duncan and Duncan had the best Yo-yo's? "

" Unless, this involves Paul "the yoy-yo guy" Buethe, Lodi's orginal yo-yo enthusiast, I'm not breaking out my my Tom Kuhn No-Jive or Silver Bullet. "

" You should also invite Mr. Pickle and Ms. Liberty to Yo-o while they dance. Invite CBS David Letterman to officiate. He read a newpaper article about the traffic jam caused Mr. Pickle over on Lodi street. Lets have him be the honorary MASTER OF CEREMONIES. Where does one purchase yo-yos anyway? Is there a certain type to get? "

" Were proud of you Steve. On of our local talent. I hope you win the contest. Why don't you turn this into a super event by inviting all of the chamber of commerce members to show up with their families and employees with Duncan and Duncan Yo-Yos. Also invite the LAR to bring their yo-yos. I can see it now in the LNS headlines. LAR yo-yo's help our city win the Yo-yo contest. I heard they have lots of yo-yo's. Come on down for family fun at the Hutchins street yo-yo fair. "
