It’s called anonymous’’ for a reason. The reason being to put principals before personalities.

I remember her a beautiful skater and woman.

I always wondered how different her life would have been if she and Randy Gardner did not have to pull out of the Olympics in 1980.

Even though people might think their lives were easy, they actually went through quite a bit. Gardner was the product of rape who searched for years for his birth mother. He didn’t know he was adopted until 1998 when he was 40 years old! He came out as gay a few years ago.

Tai had a failed marriage, a single mom, was an alcoholic, and was engaged to comedian David Brenner for several years before they broke up.

Any one who faces these demons daily - by AA or what ever - is courageous as hell, in my book. Good for her !!

I just read the whole article. Bravo to her on her recovery and at the end of the article her efforts to take young women at risk and bring them to the rink. Their are more life lessons on the ice than you can ever imagine that might help these young ladies. Bravo to her, what a turn around story. Oksana Baiul is another skater that has found Grace to fight her demons of Alcohol, and how Graceful she is to young skaters, I have seen it up close.

She sounds like a quitter.

I don't know if there was more than one page to the article since the website locked up my internet browser then caused it to crash.

From what I was able to read, it appears there was more to the story then just her struggles - the organization she works with to help homeless and addicted young women..........
