AMERICA’S NO. 1 "QUEEN OF THE ICE"
Donna Atwood says:
“I was 13 before I put on y
skates. I’d had dancing
lessons and this was fun!
In three months, I surprised even
myself by winning the Pacific
Coast novice championship.
Three years later — the National
Singles and Pairs. Then I
joined the Ice Capades.
Skating’s still fun!”
