I Do Not Have Any Pets. We

My Parents Never Pressured Me To Skate. They Always Said I Could Quit If I Wanted To. They Only Expected Me To Skate When They Had Already Paid For The Expensive Lessons. But, Otherwise They Said I Could Do What I Wanted To Do.

I Was Thrilled One Year When I Was Younger When Not Only Did My Brothers Get Hockey Sticks For Christmas - But I Did Too!

But After A Few Minutes Of Convincing Myself That I Really Wanted To Go - Telling Myself That I Love Skating And That My Coach Is There Waiting For Me - I Would Get Up And Go. And My Mother Would Always Get Up And Eat Breakfast With Me!

It Was Always Fun To Skate With Paul Wylie And Paul Martini.

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!
