Scope and content
ca. 1959. Copy of a customer's print of Jack Boyle, figure skating champion. Jack Boyle competed with the Lakewood Figure Skating Club in both the pairs with Patsy Hamm and the mens individuals. He grew up in the north end of Tacoma, attended Jason Lee Jr. High and graduated from Stadium High School in 1949. He won every men's division event in the Northwest, including senior mens, and held just about every Pacific Coast title, including senior mens and senior pairs. He and partner Patsy Hamm placed nationally in the junior and senior pairs. Boyle went pro in 1949 and skated with the Ice Follies, Holiday on Ice and other touring revues. He retired from professional skating in 1955 and entered the teaching field. Boyle taught skating for over 30 years in Vancouver, BC.
