We loved hanging onto car bumpers & were towed down the street in the snow & ice after dark. Yes, it was a silly thing to do but it was a small town & we didn't have much traffic. The Eck Sisters used to sing & dance for various Civic groups around town. Christmas was busy for us & I remember singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." We usually got paid $1 or $2. Things were different in the 50's.

I’ve always loved the outdoors. When I was young, school break meant snow forts and animal sanctuaries- dressing in boots and gloves and snowsuits.

When I was a teen, school break meant downhill skiing. There’s nothing like seeing those huge snowflakes floating down in the night sky as you tackle the long runs at the back side of the mountain.
