Article: U.S. Hall of Fame

[Geesesk8]

From the article:
"Todd Eldredge and Paul Wylie belonged to the last Golden Era of American men's figure skating, which encompassed the '80s (starting with Scott Hamilton) and most of the '90s. It was an era that began with school figures and ended with quadruple jumps, an era of invention and flair and daring and charisma......"

So, Heather and Toni, whenever you have a chance, can you post your pics from the HOF ceremony here? arty:

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Does anyone have any feelings for the 78 year old lady that also was inducted into the Hall of Fame?

Why can't you be happy for her as well as the ones you know of.

Posters believe that figure skating started when they first saw it and and seem to refuse to acknowledge the traditions of the sport. JMO.

It's a great honor for her and Mr. DeMore as well. It does make you wonder, what took them so long? Wasn't that also the case with Brian B.? Wasn't he inducted in the HOF fairly recently?

Here's the USFSA article about all of the inductees:
