. .and of ice. . .skating. . . .
As Dimbovitsa and her generation grew up, they skated more than had
and generation before, and possible since. The skated at least the
half of the year. . .skating in October, November, December, and in
January, February, March, April and some still in May.
Thus, skating became a part of their lives in a manner that had not
happened before. . .and it made a difference. . . .
Dimbovitsa and her generation started skating earlier in life, more
during each year, and within a few short years had become very much
the best skaters anyone had ever seen.
A new art-form was being born. . . .
Dimbovitsa and her friends, and others for miles around, were being
hailed as true artists, and Winter Carnivals or Winter Festivals of
her era were something as had never been seen before. . .and SO was
the skating.
The difference made in a good Winter of skating and a bad Winter of
skating back in those days was just enormous. In some Winters your
skating just barely got started before it was already over. . .with
freezes that were too quick or too short. . .and there was never an
area of good ice for a long time to practice on.
The difference now was totally amazing.
