61. Jimmy Crockett I
heard from Jimmy September of 1997 and he
gave me the following update. "I will always remember the special
attention Mr. Henderson paid to me and every person who came
into Harlick for a fitting. I think my file goes back to around
1959 or 60". To bring his bio up to date.. He skated (He is
to humble. He STARED) with Holiday on Ice for 21 years all
over the world and then continued with stage shows ...skating,
choreography and directing for another 9 years. A 30 year career!
He and his wife Marie, are now coaches ..passing
on their knowledge to the future. They are in Greenville SC
..He is also the director for the skate school and has been
coaching for 5 years....and...They are still wearing Harlick's.
Let me also add that he won The 1975 World Professional Championships
in Jaca, Spain. Thanks Jimmy for the update and we are happy
that you are still skating strong.

69. The Williams Family Holiday
on Ice, 1964.
Received an e-mail from Debbie William
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 09:10:10 -0700
Hi Everybody....my husband just found this on the net...I
never get on the
computer, so this is a rarity for me to be sending an E-mail.
I'm Debbie
Williams of the Williams Family Holiday On Ice 55-63 and Follies
64-68. Saw
alot of you at the reunion last summer and it was like going
to a family
reunion. Speaking of family, my son Taylor is 13 and an avid
roller
blader, somewhat a form of skating but very crude...he loves
it though. My
daughter, Dylan Rose is 3 and is a non-stop perpetual motion
machine. My
mom says that she reminds her of me....so for those of you
who can remember
what a calm, shy, delicate, introverted child I was...you can
relate. Ha,
ha. Robbie or Rob, as he is known now is turning 43 in 2 days.
He lives in
San Jose with his wife Karen and their two sons, Ryan and Kyle.
Rob works in
the computer business for Hewlett Packard and has nothing to
do with show
business. He got the brains in the family. Mom and Dad are
now living in
Las Vegas and are semi retired but keep extremely busy. They're
still
Gypsy's at heart and I suppose they'll pick up and move again
sometime soon.
We live in Manhattan Beach California and both Steve and I
work in the
television industry. I still do just about every live television
special
on television and have just completed E.R LIVE, the first episode
of the
season. I don't want to make anyone feel old but I will be
45 in January.
But like my mom, we hide our age well. I'm not sure who this
is going to
but Hi to Bonnie and all the people at Harlick who made those
beautiful
boots that formed my feet from the age of 2 to 23. I'm sure
you're all as
busy as ever and hope your all doing well.
