Gamma Phi Beta Skaters at Colorado College - Mid 1990s

In the mid-1990s, four Colorado College Gamma Phi Beta's realized we were skating together regularly at Colorado College's Honnen Ice Rink. We took this photo for the college's alumni magazine, but I also remember the photo ended up in SKATING MAGAZINE. Terri was in the class of 1982 (I think), Joy was in something like the class of 1955, JO ANN was class of 1978, and Barb was in the class of 1997 or 1998 I recall.

JO ANN Can Still Do a "Mean" Shoot The Duck! 5/22/19

I love doing Shoot the Ducks!  I had a good Shoot the Duck as a kid and that "skill" has followed me through life.  What's the best part of Shoot the Ducks is if you fall you are already very close to the ice....

I am just SO HAPPY that my dear friends Tom, and Lori, and David McHugh got to see my son Joel perform in Disney On Ice Mickey's Search Party today in Long Island! Thank you Lori for this wonderful photo.

Also...the McHughs had Joel at their home for Thanksgiving this year.  Joel says it was wonderful!  He said the stuffing was the best he'd ever had and Lori sent him home to his hotel with a pie. :)

First Cousins Connect in Florida! 9-22-18

My niece Phoebe Schneider is about to begin her tour with Disney On Ice Worlds of Enchantment. She has been rehearsing the past two weeks in Florida.

Today, 9-22-18, some of the cast from her show went to Ft. Myers, Florida to see Disney On Ice: Mickey’s Search Party, the show my son Joel performs in.

This photo of the two cousins together makes me cry.

By the way, my daughter Rebekah is also touring with Disney On Ice and is about to return home from Japan for a break before her cast tours Asia.

My dad has three of his grandchildren skating with Disney On Ice!
