I loved rollerskating and spent every Friday night I could at the Fair Park Skating Rink in Dallas. I started out with metal ones attached to my oxfords and skated everywhere in the neighborhood. My shoe skates were a Christmas gift when I was 13. Somehow in all confusion of our moving around then going off to college, they disappeared. <br /><br />I've never tried in-line skating, and at my age, I don't even think about skating. Last time I tried, I almost broke my arm, but then, I was doing what I did as a teenager and not what I should do as a then 55 year old grandmother. Every time I see a skating rink today, my heart lurches and the memories come flitting through my mind. <br /><br />Like Wendy, I met some interesting guys while skating and met my husband of 58 years at a skating party for the College and Career Young People department at church here in Houston. Oh, wow, reading this brought back so many great memories . . . the music, the sounds, the people . . . great. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.Martha W.

I even worked in a skating rink for a while when I was 14-15, at the concessions stand. We moved to where there was no rink for about 4 1/2 years. When we moved back, right before my high school graduation, I picked it right back up. Within 7 months I met my husband (of 47 years now) and 5 months after that we were married. I liked to take note of the fact that my aunt, my mom's sister, met her husband roller skating too and they got married the year I was born, just an interesting fact for me.<br /><br />wfnren at aol dot comWendy Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155923100367204852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-73880698053172557222018-07-23T07:21:13.530-04:002018-07-23T07:21:13.530-04:00What a fun post!

The only kind of skates available at the rink were similar to bowling shoes; unfashionable and ugly. But it was fun.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
