Wonderful story. I can just imagine her jaw dropping when she saw the three of them lacing up. This makes Canada seem like a small town.

Holy cow, what an awesome story!!! We have an octegenarian at our rink, the only one who hasn't yet hung up his skates (he skates much more gently than he used to but still does a mean grapevine). One still in his 70s and thinks it's fun to skate the Kilian and Paso Doble (well, any CD, really) with anyone who is willing to try.
