Ellen has jogged some memories

Hi Marty,

The replies to my ice-skating story from Ellen Stone and Murray Penney prompted some more memories. In answer to Ellen's question, no I did not skate in the bush at the end of Queen St. but I thought of another place we did skate and that was on the ice when Perras' quarry froze over.

We also learned to swim there in the summer. Like Murray I do remember "hopping cars" with skates on but I was never to allowed wear my skates in the house beyond the front porch. With respect to Ellen's memories of the shack at the main rink-- it was a very sexist setup as far as I can remember because only the male side of the shack had the woodstove the female side did not.
