WHO IN YOUR FAMILY IS A SKATER?

[FSWer]

Say,I don't think we've ever talked about this before. But, who in everyone's family here is a Skater? I'm the only Skater in mine.

I am (of course). My mother used to before her knees really started bothering her, and my son played hockey for about ten years before he got his concussion.

Just me!

Me and my daughter.

Just my daughter. My son took some classes but was already in high school and fencing so it was just for fun.

There are people in my family who can skate well enough to have a good time on a public session or a frozen canal. But I'm the only one who can figure skate.

My husband used to skate, but foot and joint problems caused him to stop.

My mother skated a little bit when she was a kid. She could do a waltz jump.
My father likes to go to public skate.

I almost forgot - my late father-in-law was an ice skater, and an adult ice dancer. We still have an old competition program from the 1970s where he competed compulsory dances although we never found any medals even though he placed well. He gave up ice dancing as he got older for roller dancing - skating with a partner on roller skates. We actually have a photo of him with his young partner back in the 1980s on our living room table. He was in his late 60s at the time, and she was at least 30 years younger. I remember him being upset when she dropped him as a partner for someone more her own age!

I skate, as does my daughter. I found out recently that one of my dad's uncles was in the Ice Capades back in the day.

I'm teaching my daughter, though she prefers her ballet.

My 3 kids & I skate. I used to be on a low-level precision skating team back in the 80s. My 2 girls are figure skaters, and my son is on a youth travel hockey team.
