The wonderful Laurence Owen, a year before her Nationals win, a year before she, along with her mother, sister and the rest of the US figure skating team lost their lives so tragically on Sabena Flight 548.
So much was lost that day. We will never know what that team could have achieved in their careers and lives. But this gem of a video gives us a glimpse of what might have been for Laurence.
Sadly the very end is missing but otherwise, this is pretty much complete. It hasn't been seen for 66 years. About time that changed I think.

Their debut was controversial due to the profound size differene between the two and they quickly became known as a one-and-a-half pair. Their coach Stanislav Zhuk continued to pair tiny girls with fully grown men with considerable success paving teh way for the most famous of the one-and-a-half pairs, at least in their earliest days, Gordeeva & Grinkov.")
