dear friends/colleagues/fellow bassists/musicians allround/USA citizens,

i have come to you with this serious request

my kid, age 10, decided she wants to write a letter to her idol

yes, a letter, do you remember those things ? words on paper, envelope, stamp, dad has to go to postoffice, someone accepts letter, gives it to someone else, brings it to someone else, puts it in a sack, put the sack on a car, drive to car to the harbor, put the sack on a ship, ... and so on and so on...

but before we can start that processus, someone (read: "dad")(that means : "moi")(which is french for "me")(which is the equivalent of "ik" in my language) has to find the address of the idol... the POSTAL ADDRESS !!!

the good dad i am, i turned to the good old internet, but have to admit: without great success
so, now i want to ask you guys: can you help me helping my girl ?

i'm looking for an address where she can send her letter to...
i know this is a longshot but here goes:

Simone Biles, raised by her grandparents in Columbus Ohio
i doubt she's much at home since she is travelling the world competing gymnastics
but maybe someone on this forum is living next door ?
a site where usa citizens can be looked up ?
someone knows a guy wha has been maried to that guy across the street ?
or knows her gymnastics club ?
fanclub address ?
anything ?



HELP MEH !!!!

Unfortunately, my resources came up with nothing directly for her.
Here are some suggestions.
Find out if she has a sports agent and or if she is represented by a sports/ talent agency and write a letter to them.
I spoke with a few people who book sports talent on the shows I work for and they all gave this advice.
 
Well, if you can't get in touch with Simone, she can always write to me. I'm kind of a big deal, not in gymnastics, just in Talkbass Off-Topic.
Save postage too. Don't mail a letter, just post a thread to me. I'll get it. I don't sign autographs though. I don't have time for the little people.

If there's anything I cant abide its a braggart.
