1920 Teresa Weld Blanchard and Nathanial Niles

Many time US pair champions Teresa Weld Blachard and Nathaniel Niles of Boston (1918, 1920-27), and then Teresa with another partner Thornton Coolidge (1928-30). Other early pair names that should be remembered: Beatrix Loughran and Sherwin Badger (1930-32), Maribel Vinson (Owen) and George Hill (1933 and 1935-37), Grace and Lester Madden (1934), Joan Tozzer and Bearnard Fox (1938-40) and the FIRST US National Champs - Jeanne Chevalier and Norman Scott (1914) Other early American pairs skaters included: Eleanor Crocker and Edward Howland, Clara Frothingham and Charles Rotch, Edith Rotch and Francis Munroe, Grace Munstock and Joel Liberman, Ada Bauman and George Braakman, Sidney Goode and James Greene, Raymond Harvery, Edith Secord and Joseph Savage, Grace and Lester Madden, Gertrude Meredith, Eva Schwerdt and William Bruns, Polly Blodgett and Roger Turner, Marjorie Parker and Howard Meredith, Ardelle Sanderson and Roland Janson, Annah and William Hall, Hedy Stenuf and Skippy Baxter It should also be noticed that these teams often traded partners and won medals with different people. So the American pair heritage of 'incestious relationships' goes all the way back to our founding roots!!!
