Summary
Doris Kelley Barker and her father V. Frank Kelley at a Jacksonville, Florida roller skating rink in 1952. According to Doris: "I bought my Dad his first roller skates when he was 55, black shoe skates because when you are the 2nd of 11 children, there is no money for roller skates. One Saturday morning at our kitchen table I heard a clicking noise under the table. My dad stood up and roller skated around our kitchen without falling.
At Braddock Heights, I taught my dad all the dances on skates except the tango because one had to jump in that one. Dad and mother had come for a visit; he brought his skates. There was a reporter at the rink, so he took dad and I doing the two-step. He put it in the newspaper the next day."
