I just discovered this site yesterday and probably was one of the "originals" at the rink. My Dad, Bud Houser was the Skate Room Manager and he moved our family to S.F. in July 1947 when the rink opened. I probably spent 5-6 hours a day in the summer there between 1947 and 1955. Your uncle George Lessa lived with my family for years at the family home on 43rd Avenue. Your posting and others of "my" timeframe, certainly brought memories of my youth. By chance, the Caldwells, Bob & Gloria are coming to my home for lunch. As it turns out, we only live 2 hours apart.
