Editor,
While I have participated in many sports in my lifetime, I have never been much of an ice skater. But I have always enjoyed watched the sport during the Olympics, going back to the days of Peggy Fleming.

Editor,
While I have participated in many sports in my lifetime, I have never been much of an ice skater. But I have always enjoyed watched the sport during the Olympics, going back to the days of Peggy Fleming.
Recently there has been much in the media about losing local ice rinks. It is evident that many people feel strongly about hanging on to this wonderful form of recreation. With all the wealth and venture capital money in the Bay Area, it would seem to me that someone could find a way to preserve a local ice rink or two, if not build a new one. I can think of no better investment than in an activity that redeems the strong value of exercise. As the Bay Area grows more crowded and expensive, the general public needs an economical place like an ice rink to go, just to have fun.
