Arizona Bluebird Age 13 & under girls BB team. We recently won the championship at the Arizona Athletic Union State qualifier, held in Gilbert, Az, on the 4th and 5th of June. The Bluebirds went undefeated in their efforts and will be participating in the Division II National Championships, to be held in the Phoenix area from the 26th of June to July 1st.

Teddy Draper, Jr., the son of a WWII Navajo "Code Talker" is a holder of many prestigious awards for his art. He is a master of pastels, oils and watercolors, sculpture and modern/traditional design Navajo jewelry.

His techniques, constantly refined over thirty years, have grown into a personal style and his interpretation and artistic vision of what he calls "them unseen colors". Living near his studio and gallery with his wife, noted jeweler Ophelia Garcia, and their two children, Tawny and Terrance on the rim of the beautiful Canyon de Chelly, Ted conducts and annual "Exquisite Excursions - A Color Exploration Workshop" and also devotes much of his time and efforts to the Chinle Youth Athletic Club, which provides supervised athletic competition as an alternative to substance abuse.
