It Was Never About Winning

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.

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

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