 What you would not have guessed from that last
paragraph was that my mother and Wes Trainor rarely saw eye
to eye and had many battles over the ice time allowed the club
for practice. However, even he was impressed by the results!

Just looking at
this Ganderettes page on the website has sure brought back a
few memories especially about that ice carnival in 1959. I
remember it well.Me being a hockey jock, on the
"recomendation" (or never play hockey again)of Wes Trainor,
volunteered to help decorate the stadium for the show and
beone of the clowns to entertained the spectators between
acts. The clown partwas strictly on a volunteer basis without
any influnence from Mr. Trainor.He surely didn't promote
poor skating skills but that didn't deter me. Ididn't have
enough good skating skills to hinder the requirements to be
aclown. The place was packed (as we say in Nfld). Frank
Broderick was thechief clown who supervised our costume design
and suggested our antics, Iwas quite proud to be a part of
the carnival even though I was not a figureskater. My
parents, who attended the show, were very complimentary about
the performance, especially the clowns.
In all my time
playing minor hockey, I think this was the biggest crowd Ihad
ever had played for. It still brings back the goose bumps I
had felt that evening. Jack

Judy
Jenkins and Faye Lewis are the "dancing
damsels"
Faye (Lewis) Raynard was also proficient in other skating
events.
