correction
There was a reporting error made in April’s issue from coverage of the 2013 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in Plymouth, Mich. In the adult story on page 21, Christine Costa, a member of the winning Esprit de Corps, once skated at the University of Delaware and not at Miami University. SKATING magazine apologizes for the error.
obituary PALMER
John (Bud) Palmer, a pioneer in sports
broadcasting who covered many of figure skating’s championship events, died of can- cer on March 19, 2013, at his home in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was 91. Mr. Palmer served as the television an-
nouncer for the 1961 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he interviewed members of the U.S. World Team, which perished a month later in a plane crash in Belgium. According to a story that appeared in
the Palm Beach Post, Palmer launched his broadcasting career in 1950, first calling Knicks games on WMGM radio and later on TV. His most memorable contributions were in national sports broadcasting, where he worked for all three major networks. His assignments included the 1968 Summer
grievance
Lindsey Sikorski Sandra Sikorski
On May 13, 2011, a grievance was filed by six members of the Board of Direc- tors for the Wyandotte Figure Skating Club (WFSC) against Lindsey Sikorski, a coach for the club, and her mother, Sandra Sikorski, a previous officer of WFSC. This grievance alleged violations of GR 1.01(A), GR 1.02(A), GR 1.02(C), GR 1.02(F), and GR 1.04. The grievance also alleged violations of the WFSC bylaws, specifically Article 4.1, 4.2, 4.6, 5.13(i), 6.1(j), and 9.5.
Thereafter, on January 12, 2012, a grievance was filed by the chair of the Ethics Committee against Sandra Sikorski. Finally, on January 13, 2012, a grievance was filed by the chair of the Ethics Committee against Lindsey Sikorski. The grievances filed by the chair of the Ethics Committee against both Lindsey Sikorski and Sandra Sikorski allege violations of GR 1.01, GR 1.02, and GR 1.03. The three grievances against Lindsey Sikorski and Sandra Sikorski were
combined for hearing.
A Hearng Panel considered documentary evidence and heard testimony on November 28, 2012 and November 29, 2012. On December 18, 2012, a Deci- sion was issued in favor of WFSC and U.S. Figure Skating and against Lindsey Sikorski and Sandra Sikorski. The sanction imposed for the violations found by the Hearing Panel provided that Lindsey Sikorski and Sandra Sikorski be permanently banned from membership in U.S. Figure Skating.
An appeal was filed by both Lindsey Sikorski and Sandra Sikorski. The Appel- late Panel upheld the findings of the original hearing panel. This matter is now final and both Lindsey and Sandra Sikorski are permanently banned from membership.

Olympics, for which he received the Nation- al Academy of TV Arts & Sciences award for Achievement in Sports Programming. He also served as producer and broad-
caster of “CBS Sports Spectacular” for many years and made regular appearances on ABC’s “Wide World of Sports,” covering ev- erything from figure skating to gymnastics to golf to auto racing. Born in Hollywood, Calif., Palmer was an
All-American in soccer and lacrosse at Princ- eton and also played basketball. He was one of the founding members of the New York Knickerbockers in 1946, playing in the start- up Basketball Association of America (BAA), which became the NBA in 1949. Palmer led the Knicks in scoring and into the playoffs in each of his three seasons with the club. He was the first captain of the team. New York Mayor John Lindsay appoint-
ed Mr. Palmer in 1965 to a post in which he was the official greeter for the city, which he held for eight years. He moved to Vail, Colo., in 1972 and became involved in the development of Vail Ski Resort, and later to a ranch in Lake Creek, Colo., which he dubbed “The Palmerosa.” Mr. Palmer moved to West Palm Beach
in 1997 and told The New York Times in 2007 that he had had prostate cancer for 15 years as well as Guillain-Barre syndrome and other ailments. “Except for that,” he added, “I’m in the greatest shape.” He is survived by a son, John Palmer;
daughters Gene Palmer, Lisa Palmer and Bet- ty Landerscasper; and two grandsons. Contributions can be made to the Sal- vation Army of West Palm Beach.
