Re: Skate Canada Hall of Fame 2017 inductees
That's nice!!
This is interesting, but I am presently transferring the 1997 Canadians. Karen Magnusson was inducted into, I think the Canadian Skating Hall of Fame. That was 20 years ago which seems incredible. Has anyone heard how she is doing? I was hoping she'd be able to get a lung transplant but perhaps it won't help her.
