The Scotvold Twins

These are the famous Scotvold Twins figure skating duo. They are Joyce and Joanne Scotvold, my second cousins-once removed. Their brother is Evy Scotvold, who (among other things) was Nancy Kerrigen's coach in the mid-1990s.

 

This photo is from the magazine People and Places from January 1950. The caption with their photo was:

 

"The popular Scotvold twins featured in 'Dairyland, U.S.A.' - a highly entertaining 'Follies' number. A constant 'step-up' in lavishness has followed the growth of the shows' brief history."

 

My mom remembers going to see the Scotvold Twins perform here in Minneapolis, and her aunt Molly always hustling them back stage after the shows to meet them.
