One of the things I like best about the Halloween show is that I change outfits about six times in the show. It is a lot of fun to play the different characters.

My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do.

I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson.

Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.

I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!

It was always fun to skate with Paul Wylie and Paul Martini.
