My Coach Was A Great Politician, So

I Wanted To Learn How To Skate Backwards And They Wouldn't Help Me And They Went Off And Left Me On My Own.

It's Different Today Than It Was Then. In Those Days We Were Strictly Amateurs. If I Had Wanted To Stay In For The '80 Olympics, My Parents Couldn't Have Afforded It.

I Think I Dreamed About Competing At The Olympics, Maybe Hoping To Win A Gold Medal. Not That I Ever Thought That I Would, But I Dreamed About It.

My Parents Didn't Have A Lot Of Money, But We Never Knew That. They Really Did The Best They Could.

In Group Lesson Number Six I Think We Learned How To Turn Backwards And Then Just Kind Of Wiggle. That Wasn't Really Skating Backward, But I Guess I Was Going In The Right Direction.
