Who ever would have thought that what started out as bones lashed to the bottom of boots for transportation would eventually become a way of life for some people. I started all of this crazyness in 1978, after going to the Ice Capades. I told my folks that I thought that I could do that [skate], so they gave me lessons for Christmas. I was quite fortunate that my first coaches were so very good. My coaches included Olympic Ice Dancing Medalists, National and World Singles and Pairs Competitors, and Show Skaters. I touch on all points of the sport. I still do shows, as the opportunities present themselves. I teach group and private lessons, and I still compete, from time to time. |
