REAL LIFE FIGURE SKATING LOVE STORY
Forget your "Ice Castles," "Cutting Edge" and Sonja Henie DVDs. Here's a real life romantic saga with ice skating at the center:
Their story began in 1954 France, when Latourelle was 21 and serving in the Air Force. While in Europe, he and a 20-year-old Scottish ice skater on tour, Evelyn Johnston, fell in love.
They spent a few magical weeks together in Bordeaux and Paris, and when Johnston's show moved on to another country they lost track of one another. Through a tragic misunderstanding, Johnston thought Latourelle knew she'd be in Switzerland next. But he didn't. He had no idea where she was, and they had no way to contact one another.
She realized a few months later she was pregnant, and her efforts to find Latourelle after she gave birth in July 1955 went nowhere. Johnston eventually gave up, married another man and never told her daughter the man she knew as her dad was not her biological father.
