I met so many wonderful people.”Brown and the rest of the Ice Follies skaters from those late 1940s shows would hold reunions every so often, and at age 93, she believes she’s the only one still alive. On Dec. 19, Barbara Brown and her whole family were given the Champions Lodge at Amsoil Arena for "Stars on Ice." “Some of those jumps you see today were unheard of or not even invented when I was skating,” Barbara Brown said.
