Magnolia resident Krista Ellis is the coxswain for the University of California-Berkeley women's varsity 8 crew team. The team won the NCAA championships last year and were flown to Washington, D.C., recently to receive an award from President George W. Bush. Ellis (in the brown-and-white dress) is pictured on the righthand side of the attached president. She rowed for Holy Names Academy and Green Lake Crew in her high school years, received a scholarship from Berkeley and will be a junior next year. But there are those whose fondest memories of her date from her years working at Magnolia's late, lamented Caffè Appassionato.
