From Hartford Public High I was very busy with Figure Skating and in 1971 my partner Cathy Casey and myself won the National Silver Dance Category currently called Junior Dance...I briefly went to Cromwell High School and with my family that moved there from Hartford. I decided that I did not want to graduate from either Hartford or Cromwell because I was pretty restless at that time and instead of graduating I enlisted in the US Air Force where my first duty station was at Westover, AFB near Springfield, MA. I was there for two years. After being stationed stateside I put in for an over sea assignment and was selected to be in the USAFE Elite Guard, Ramstein, Germany.

to move to Pasadena, CA where I worked for the Ice Capades my true fondness for the sport of figure skating was always there. I skated here and there and eventually had enough of California and moved to Florida, because of my back ground with the Air Force Security Police, I put in an application to work out the Space Center in Florida. I worked at the Kennedy Space Center and at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. My job title was Flight Commander and I was employed for 9 years there at the Cape. I took a brief vacation with my late mothers SKating Tour company and met my lovely wife Emily in Paris, France. I left the space center and moved back to Connecticut in the Stamford area where I reside today. My wife and myself Direct, Teach and Coach figure skating at our skating rink in Stamford, CT. I would love to hear from anyone that I grew up with. Best of regards to all of you and your families. ...Fran Cassella
