Mais, it's cold, cold...

My question is how did so many people in South Louisiana get ice skates?

Hard to see but I think it was "one" out front on skates, and the rest playing on ice in the background.

_———-In early 60s the lake froze and some students were ice skating and photo was in a national mag——T-bind might even have a photo!

The two-page spread photo of frozen Cypress Lake was in the Jan. 26, 1962 issue of Life Magazine: https://rb.gy/lai42m. Scroll down a few pages to see photo on pp. 2-3 with the title "A SUDDEN ICE RINK DEEP IN DIXIE" at lower right.

At the time, a stray black dog nicknamed "Inky" had roamed the campus for a few weeks. I recall Inky walking on the ice and barking at the fish he could see through it. (My age is revealed by the fact that I graduated from USL that semester.)
