I saw the Ice Capades at the Univ. Illinois in 1964 when I was a student.
An audacious undergrad friend of mine went backstage and assumingly invited the skaters to his house for an after-show party but they bluntly declined.

My gym class that year was a lot of fun....ice skating. I went to ice skating the afternoon of Nov. 22, 1963 ... the lady coach announced "no class today".., sent us home.
