How I begain skating with Richard Griffin

During the summer of 1972, my brother, Billy Schneider, came to Colorado to train with the famous Carlo Fassi, who trained Peggy Fleming.

During that summer, our family visited Billy and I had a chance to skate some ice dance sessions in Denver.

I was introduced to Richard Griffin by Paul Steiner, a Silver Dance competitor.

Rich and I competed in the Colorado Championships that summer and after that, Rich moved to California and lived with my family and we began our career as a Silver Dance Team.
