  • Chuck, I always lost my skate key!  That's why I would get my brother to make me a skate board from my skates.  I couldn't find my key.  :(    A few years after my last skates I got my light blue skinney-wheel bike!

  • Galen, I think the boys were always more steady than the girls.  I know my brother was better than I was at most things.  But I was the nice one.  :)
  • Amatullah, You're so right!  We had great times on those skates and they were'nt nearly as expensive as the things that my grandkids are asking for these days.  They would probably laugh me out of Texas if I gave them a pair of skates these days.  :)
  • "STEADY AS SHE GOES, MR. SULU" (LOL). Guess what ... I wasn't steady on them either at first ... who was?
