Kennedy High Teens Aim to Break World Skating Record
Eddie Achenbach and Mike Elmore, both 15, of Hiawatha, strapped on heavy ice skates to beat the 1935 147 hour world record. They, still skating after two days, endure roughness and odd looks, sleeping with skates on and hoping for a safe, record setting run. The Marion Roller Rink lent the gear and the boys were inspired after watching the film Roll Freddy Roll.
