Friday nights we'd go to Katz out on Glenstone and then, if my brother and I were lucky and we'd been good all week, we'd go to the Doling Park Roller Rink.

Yes, yes its where I first went skating and I was so little I had to have my wheels locked so I could be walked around the rink by my aunts and cousins. Good times!

Didn't Billy & Lillian's son or grandson take over the rink and they retired. I can't remember the guys name right now but I do remember he had a son and his name was Chris...

I don't think they had any children. They are the ones that left their money to the dog. Made national news. Maybe Chris (?) was the son of their partners in the amusement park??

Oh yeah...you are right...I thought they were related...my bad...I was on the speed skating team for a few years and Chris was on it also...from what I remember he thought he was God's gift to women...lol...

Now I'm off to Google Billy and Lillian's dog who inherited millions, I missed that one!
I was a skating rink kid too. My older sisters would take me and Jackie and my little brother. Loved it!
