Hi Darrell:
Really glad to see your message posted. I had lost all hope of anyone who knew these people.

I keep in touch with Kurt as he is back in his native Switzerland running his own rink. He is still very cl;ose friends with Elaine Grossinger.

Brenda's last name was "Farmer" and I can still remember her son, "B.G." flying around the rink. I recently talked to someone on the Grossinger's site Guest Book and he said Brenda married Mike Farkas, another Sports Director at Grossingers and she lives in New Jersey.

I would love to hear your stories. It sounds as though perhaps we were taking skating lessons at the same time. I remember the performances we had to do before the Barrel Jumping. It was televised on ABC Wide World of Sports. I still have my mementos of those events as well as the awards I won throught the ISIA competition at Grossingers.

Look forward to hearing about your experiences.

Sue
