Delores Kipple Oswald from Miami Beach: “I traveled 200 miles from Miami to Nassau...on ONE water ski"
Delores Kipple, "Lorey" to her friends, accomplished this feat back in June of 1955 at the age of 22. She made the trek in ten and a half hours, with her father operating the tow boat. She ended her adventure with blisters on her legs (from the pounding sea water), and cuts on her hands, not to mention ten pounds lighter. She said she made the trip, "just to see if it could be done." At the time, it was considered a record for distance.
Florida State University students Steve
Frasier, Bill Arnold and Brick Mason: “We're going to play catch...we won't need this ball...we throw a 108-pound girl"
Together with 108-pound colleague Susie Smith, the four students are members of FSU’s Flying High Circus, a
Tallahassee institution since at least the 1940s which continues to perform
today. The act the students perform is known as a “quartette
adagio." A one-hour special
featuring the entire circus would air two months later, on May 18, as part of
the CBS sports anthology series Sports Spectacular.
