The skating world has lost a remarkable man and a passionate devotee to the sport. My heart breaks... I just found out on Ryan's Skateguard blog that Mr. Wright passed away at the age of 97 on November 30, 2019. Mr. Wright served as President of the U.S. Figure Skating Association from 1973 - 1976, and he was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1997. More than that, he was one of the sport's great historians. He was such a kind man, always willing to share his knowledge. I doubt if most people in the skating community are even aware of what we have lost with his passing...
