Sad News – From DMSC Secretary Mary Moss via Patrick O’Neil.

To our friends and loves ones,
Steve Wolkin passed away peacefully this morning, with his wife and daughters by his side. In July, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of multiple myeloma: plasma cell leukemia.
He fought a hard battle and through it all he never stopped talking about ice skating. All the nurses and doctors knew that he was a US Figure Skating Judge, and Legal Child Advocate. He was very proud of the work he did in both the skating and legal community.
All his friends have shown him and us so much support during these months of illness. He would hate to see any of us teary eyed and sad for too long. You all know he loved laughter and a good joke and his sense of humor never left him even at the end.
The best way to show support at this time would be a gift in his name to either organization:
Leukemia & Lymphoma society
Child and Family Advocates of Cuyahoga County
Detroit Metro Skating Council Club Events
New Edge FSC

Dear officials of the Detroit Metro Skating Council,
I just received my award recognition and check in the mail recognizing my 50 years of service as a judge. Thank you very much!The years have gone by very rapidly, yet I plan to continue judging for hopefully a long time. It has been a great experience judging and interacting with so many skaters as well as working with fellow officials, coaches, parents, and club members.Thanks again.Bill

Feedback for those who participated with Nationals in January 2019.
Dear Metro Skating Clubs,
Jerrod Swallow wants to thank all member clubs for their outstanding efforts and participation in making a successful 2019 Championships here in Detroit. The feedback was that Detroit did an amazing job hosting the competition.
I, as President of Detroit Metro Skating Council, can only say that I am proud to be a member of this great organization. I believe the triad of Detroit Skating Club, The Detroit Sports Commission, and Detroit Metro Skating Council and working with U.S. Figure Skating, was an unstoppable force in the quest to have a successful event.
Thank you
Calvin Carson
President, DMSC.
