I was learning to roller skate with the metal clamp on skates over bumpy sidewalks. The first time my Mom & Dad took me to "Johnny's I was scared. As I got use to the skates with shoes attached I wasn't scared anymore. Mom & Dad bought my first pair of skates and case from Johnny. Johnny and Maisie took me under their wing(as they did all of us kids) and taught me how to two step alone and with a partner. They also taught me how to couple's waltz and skate backward. Both Johnny & Maisie were there for you if had a problem with anything to do with skating or a personal problem. From skating it was on to the "Big Room". Oh what great memories I have of going to "Johnny's". If I remember right the Class of 59 held two of our reunion's there. At the last one we held there Johnny invited us into the "Big Room" to do some dancing. He announced our class and played some of the tunes from the 50's. I will never forget my times at "Johnny's.
