| Karen Cameron from the Antique Ice
Skate Club asks: Bill, do you have any information on a stilt skater by the name of Herb Lutz? A friend of mine has a pair of his skates, (one of which is currently in the Skating Museum at Lake Placid). I am doing an article for our Antique Ice Skate Club newsletter and can't seem to find any information on him. If you have any info for Karen, please contact her at, cameron11@cox.net |

The stilt-walking troupe made up of farmers would represent Beijing and participate in a cultural performance in London to showcase the customs of Beijing. It would be the first time a Beijing farmers' amateur troupe travels abroad. Relevant departments in Beijing and in Chaoyang District held a farewell meeting for troupe members today." | ||||||
