I Think I Dreamed About Competing At

In Group Lesson Number Six I Think We Learned How To Turn Backwards And Then Just Kind Of Wiggle. That Wasn't Really Skating Backward, But I Guess I Was Going In The Right Direction.

I Worked As Hard As I Could. I Was Always The First One On The Ice, And The Last One Off.

My Parents Didn't Have A Lot Of Money, But We Never Knew That. They Really Did The Best They Could.

Our Family Life, Before Figure Skating Turned It Upside Down, Seemed Normal. Our Town Of Riverside, Connecticut, Was Part Of Greenwich, And We Had The Advantage Of Their Wonderful Community, With Great Beaches And Beautiful Parks.

I Was Just Ice Skating. I Had No Concept Of That. In Those Days You Couldn't See The Judges. I Was This Little Person On The Ice And They Were Just People That Would Stand Around The Boards.
