The h ig h lig h ts o f the 33rd A n n u a l

by R o n a ld and R o d e rick F u lle r. The
F u lle rs have been w ith the F a ir since

Rod enjoy m odeling very much. There’ s
a great future fo r them . C o m in g fro m a
large fam ily, Dallas, Texas is their home.
R o nald was selected as an extra fo r 227
in 1989 and enjoys a ctin g as w e ll as
m o d e lin g .
The F u lle rs created a lo t o f energy
during the Freedom Explosion, and made
the audience really feel at home. Ronald
is ve ry a ctive and energetic. He seems
to have a great in sig h t and focus on his
present and future aspirations. B eing

by a d ra w in g at school (PC C Cascade).
I enjoyed 50% o f the fashions. They
