All of the articles on this page were written by
Kathie Fry for About.com in 1999, the year she was hired to create an
inline skating Web site for them. Kathie resigned from About.com
on July 30, 2003, after 4 years of service, because her own skating Web
site (SkateLog.com) was requiring more and more of her time.
She still has a very good relationship with About.com, and all of her
articles remained on the About.com Web site until August of 2004,
when a new inline skating editor was hired by About.com.
