Artistic Roller Skating

Artistic Roller Skating

 

 I want to help save the history of our sport and you can be of great help!

If you  have photos from your skating days and have access to a scanner (or know someone who does) , please send them along! I will create a special gallery just for your photos. They can be of anyone (yourself, your kids, students, coaches--just please label them), of anything (programs, skates, medals, etc), and from any time frame (past or present).

Email them to me and I will take care of the rest.

(Do me a favor, I tend to not open emails with attachments unless I know the person, so if you want to send me something, just let me know in a simple email first. Thanks!)
