Description
A highly competitive figure skater for many years she eventually gravitated to Ice Dancing with her partner John Currie, later to be her life partner. Moving to the Middleton area in 1978 she quickly became immersed in the Middleton and District Figure Skating Club; serving as President and in other capacities for over a decade. Somehow Carolyn found the time to juggle family, figure skating organization, and work in the banking industry. With our famed Precision Line teams of 1981-82-83- 84-85-86-87 Carolyn was the lady who organized the trips and designed both the travelling uniforms and skating outfits. Working hand-in hand with Zillah Gaul they spent countless hours, not to mention dollars, along with much hard work and determination to enable these teams to travel to Provincial (mostly in Metro) and Atlantic competitions (Moncton, NB), as well as Nationals in London, Ontario (twice) and Toronto. It must have been a thrilling experience for these 48 young women, over the years, to travel with Carolyn and Zillah especially the fi rst big one in 1983 all the way to London, Ont. In “the little blue school bus that could”. The 48 young women from the Provincial Line Teams, other skaters from the M.D.F.S.C., indeed all citizens of Middleton and District are forever indebted to Carolyn Currie for all of her work and dedication on our behalf. Carolyn Currie is a most deserving inductee as a Builder in the Sports Heritage Wall of Fame.
