Wisconsin Sports Hall of
Fame
Attention Selection Committee
Re: Nomination - Figure
Skating Coach Sue Susic Ervin
To Whom it May Concern:
It is
my understanding that figure skating coach, Sue Susic Ervin is being
considered for nomination to the Wisconsin Sports Hall of Fame. As I am a
former skating student of hers and now a professional figure skater. I
have a few words I would like to say about Sue Susic Ervin. I began to
take lessons from Sue at age fourteen years old, when of course all
teenagers are vulnerable at that age. Sue always gave me her undivided
attention when my lesson was in session. At that time in my life I needed
someone who would pay attention to me, improve my technical jumping
skills, and keep my confidence level up. Both in figure skating and off
the ice, since my parents just went through a divorce. My overall jumping
skills improved tremendously. Since I left my hometown, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin to start traveling with ICE CAPADES, I did come back for awhile
to take some extra lessons as a professional from Sue. As the saying goes
“you can
teach old dogs new tricks.” Sue taught me that
valuable lesson in more ways than one. Also for as long as I can remember
she has been a friend of the family.
