This is AMAZING! Thank you Ellen Phillips for putting this together for me! Ellen was involved with roller skating for over 25 years competitively and professionally. She has six US roller dance titles including three gold medals as well as her gold test dance medal in artistic roller skating. Ellen is involved with Pikes Peak Writers and working on a novel and her own skating memoir while growing her indexing business. She currently resides in Colorado Springs with her husband Robert and her two children.
So many people, places, events, subjects are included in my book. A second version will soon be available with this index in the back.
