Who IS that kid???? 01 Christmas Contest

Here is a Christmas game for you, and probably only the real old timers will be able to do well. It was inspired by a legendary story about Scott Hamilton and skaters of the Louisville FSC, that I will relate at the bottom!

So many of America's skating greats managed to get their picture in SKATING Magazine at a surprizingly young age!! Here are 15 superstars, in a developmental moment. Your goal is to identify each skater. The winners will be the persons who name the most skaters, and the tie breaker will be the date of entry!!! So email me, or post a response if you want to give away answers!! I am offerring 6 ribbons which are shown in the post! If you are willing to email me your mailing address, I will send you the appropriate reward!!!! Get busy.....

HERE ARE THE ANSWERS: (Don't look if you want to give it a try after January 5th)

1) Kitty & Peter Carruthers (ice dancing, looks like a foxtrot!)
2) Scott Hamilton
3) Linda Fratianne
4) David Santee
5) Brian Boitano (dreadlocks at age 7 Bri?)
6) Lori Nichol
7) Mark Cockerell
8) No, it's not Donny Osmond, it's Christopher Bowman
9) Mark & Melissa Militano
10) Rudy Galindo
11) Robert Waggenhoffer (I know the blonde curls and face are fuzzy, but you should have recognized the characteristic body line!!)
12) Scott Cramer
13) Robin Wagner (I think that hair needed some discipline!!!)
14) Tom Dickson
15) Dorothy Hamill

Congratulations to our winners! Look for a second contest soon!!!!!!


The contest is open until January 5th, 2008!!! I may post hints in the comment section, if it proves toooo difficult!! As winners come in, I will post the results (and your screen name) as they develop here.

I started skating in Louisville, KY in the 1960's, at Gardner Lane rink, which was open on the end, and only operated from October to March. The rich kids would always go off to Lake Placid, NY for summer school each year, and take from Gus Lussi! For years, everyone complained about this bratty little trouble making boy, who was up and at everyones business, cutting in front of adult dancers, and doing all sorts of mischief!! Well, years later.....that pesky little boy turned out to be "SCOTT HAMILTON"!!!! So watch out for the tiny tots at the rink!! One of em may be a legend.........
