PhotographerMcLennan, Rosemary 
DescriptionA colour picture of her with her parents was printed in the 'Leader' on April 24, 1996.
It was taken at what looks like a farewell party at her father's workplace, Clark's Accounting; she was about to turn 31, and had just been named to the New Zealand Olympic team.
She was about to return to America and the Shaklee team.
She had recently spoken to the Booster Club, which had spontaneously donated $500, allowing her to go early to Nelson, where she won the 25 km time trial, and came third in a 110 km road race. At the Olympics she would compete in an indoor 24 km points race, and outdoors in a 30 km time trial and 100 km road race.
Recollect does not have that picture, but has this portrait, taken at the same time. It was reprinted on October 23, when she had returned from a disappointing Olympics. For her special event, the points race, she had warmed up well, but rain delayed the start by 2-1/2 hours, and instead of the mandatory half-hour warm-up provision, she was given five minutes after her first lap, and came eighth.
Reprinted in greyscale on December 23, with one of cricketer Ann O'Leary and another of singer Frankie Stevens with his grandson. Each of them had been asked for a favourite recipe; Jacquie's was for crumb-topped fish fillets.
Date TakenApril 1996
