Debbie Reed Broker Associate (970) 209-1396 Debbie ReedRealtor.com Who knew a nun... ...would want to learn how to skateboard?? In the 8th grade, I had that nun, Sister Marie Elise. She was probably about 5'10", but in her black nun habit she seemed a whole lot taller. One day in the lunch line she overheard me talking to a friend about my skateboard. Now, a lot of you know that grace is not my high point, but I could do it. I skated goofy foot. Sister mentioned she sure would like to try it someday. I asked if she had tennis shoes, she did, and was told to bring them to school the next day. At lunch a couple of us took her out in the parking lot. The first issue was her long habit and a wooden rosary several feet long hanging from her leather belt. We hiked all of that up using her belt. We figured out her foot stance and gave her a push. We ran alongside of her pushing and showing her how to push off with her ground foot. She had a blast! I have never forgotten the vision of a really tall penguin on a skateboard in the school parking lot...wearing green tennis shoes!
