Shirl is the Kween Of Kool! The Mistress of Monroes! To know is to love her. She Shakes the Leg at Legends, and we adore her!

Last met with Shirl at her new gaff some three ears ago. And she was in mighty form.

Her narratives are inspirational. Huge respect to Phil for making them available once again.

In the past few years we've seen more and more solo women Challengers. Shirl opened all of this up and broke the soi-disant exclusive machismo once and for all. The Challenge mutates at all times - and for myself I welcome the fact that now we are substantially more inclusive. Shirl has always been at the vanguard, and we salute her! An model to many.

Um? We puzzled by this last. Shirl has visited with Mary and myself many the times. House-sat once when we went to Skandi for two weeks. We love her to bits! Killer guitar player . . .
