Pageant Coach
Kristine Griffin Kristine Griffin became JonBenet's Pageant Coach
"Kristine, a high school senior, loved to coach JonBenet. She taught her the walk, the wave, and the pageant poses on a small mock runway in her basement. The girls giggled, surrounded by the hundreds of costumes Pam was working on. Off to the side was one of Kristine's 8-foot-high trophies." (snip) "Patsy was paying Kristine $20 an hour for pageant lessons" [PMPTpg98sb]
