It Was Always Fun To Skate With

Even Now, My Husband Jerry, Our Son Matthew And I Live Only Five Minutes Away From My Parents Home, And My Brothers Live About Ten Minutes Away. It's Been Great Having Such A Supportive Family.

I Was A Tomboy Who Liked To Play Rough Just Like My Two Older Brothers. That's Probably Why I Liked The Athletic Part Of Skating - Especially The Jumping!

I Think It's A Lot Harder For The Pros To Have A Long Career In Ice Dance And In Pairs. It Seems The Singles Have A Little Bit Of A Longer Career.

I Took Group Lessons At A Rink Near My Home. We First Had To Learn How To Stand Up On The Ice Wearing Skates. Eventually We Learned To Move Forward, But Soon Found Out That It Was Not That Easy To Stop! So That Was Our Next Important Lesson.

My Dad Worked Several Jobs To Pay For My Expense In Skating.
