Skating was one of the best parts of my childhood !!! Every Sat we were at the rink and would skate ALL day!! Then hit Fri nights as we got a little older in HS. Oh the best times were out on the rink doing the hoky poky, WIPEOUT, and just the 80s music..Funkytown and Double Dutch Bus!!! Another one bites the dust, too. It's still fun at 54. I just really try hard not to fall especially now. Give me a pair of speed skates and this Mimi would still rock it today!!!!

Pure joy! I was a regular skater back in my younger days. I was pretty good and could keep up with the best skaters in 1978. I skated all 4 years during high school and made true friends. I wasn't invited to parties at my Catholic high school. I was pretty shy and very insecure. And gained wisdom and inner strength and confidence by hanging out with my friends at Roller Dome South. Those days spent roller skating were the BEST of times for me.
