Thank you for the kind words about my parents! What years did you skate for the T-Birds?

I think they got married in San Leandro

Thank you Mark!

I wasn’t aware of their skating career until I was close to being a teenager. I did go to a few games at Kezar Pavillion and San Jose when i was 2-5 years old

I know right? My mom and dad were having a blast and they loved to dance!

@RollerDerbyMarkRoman ah ha..now we see you inherited the moves from mom and dad..

@kentburrell3419 many years ago i was going through my mom and dad’s closet looking for a shirt and i found a box filled with 8MM and 16MM movie films. So I decided to take them to a place that cleaned and color corrected them and digitized them onto DVD and MP4 and i had DVD copies made and i surprised my family by giving it them 😃. All of the film footage that i had transfered was a little over an hour and half long..it has lots of great footage of my family and their friends,roller derby skaters and me and my sisters as kids ❤️

All of the 8MM and 16MM footage that i had transfered onto MP4 and DVD had no sound only video

@ ok

It had my mom and dad’s family as well as many skaters there at my parents wedding

Yes Charlie O’Connell was there…my dad did go to the Roller Derby Training Center at times to help train the up and coming skaters

@@RollerDerbyMarkRoman I didn't see him in the film.

@strothermartin5368 yes Charlie O’Connell was there..there were alot of skaters there but this was the only Wedding Footage that i have and even though it’s not a lot of footage I’m blessed to have it

@@RollerDerbyMarkRoman 👍

Not sure why there is a fence there at that outdoor game 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@RollerDerbyMarkRoman Looks like the track was set up very close to the backstop and home plate...keep fans from getting on the field.

Yes that was Cathie Read wearing the #51

@@RollerDerbyMarkRoman Thanks so much, Mark. I didn't recognize some of them! The numbers help.🤗👏🏻

I agree!

Glad you liked it! I’ll be posting more 😃👍🏻

I watched the Bay Bombers. I love Tony, Charlie and all the rest. It’s why I started Roller Skating.

That’s great that you were a big fan of the Bay Bombers and of my dad Tony Roman…I hope you enjoy my Roller Derby TH-cam Page and watching these videos bring up great memories for you 😃

@ Where can I get a Bay Bomber Roller Jersey?

Those are very hard to find…I have a 3 of my dad’s #37 Bomber Jerseys as well as one of my mom’s #37 Bomber ones and i even have Charlie O’Connell’s #40 Bomber Jersey that he wore on the Bay Bombers in 1969 and a few others…do you have any Jerseys or Roller Derby Memorabilia?

@ No. I was looking for a jersey. I’ll keep looking. Thank you

I was thinking the same thing!😮

Yes he was

Thanks! I hope you enjoy my Roller Derby Chanel that has a lot of great Roller Derby clips of my dad Tony Roman and my mom Carol “Peanuts” Meyer as well as showcasing my Roller Derby memorabilia and video clips….Do you have any interviews that my mom Carol “Peanuts” Meyer did? Would love to hear it

@ So sorry, Mark, I don’t. I loved watching both of your parents skate! 😍

That’s ok! So glad that you were a big fan of my parents and enjoy my Roller Derby TH-cam Chanel!

No…the Bucks Jersey’s were altered and had the “Bucks” name taken off and the lighting bolts for the Latin Libs embroidered on the front. The NY Bomber Jerseys were never altered at least to my knowledge

My friend did have one that my dad did in 1987 but that video tape/footage is gone…I only have the two interviews that my dad did during the Roller Derby games which is fine and you have seen those right? I do have another interview that my mom did in 2012 and she goes in depth about her childhood,how she started skating,her skating career,skating with other skaters,how she met my dad and their marriage and when my father passed away,the role of females in sports and so much more and that interview is 2 hours long! I’ll be putting up that interview soon so be on the look out for it and have some popcorn ready! 😃

@RollerDerbyMarkRoman You bet I will.🍿🥤🎊... Thank you for sharing this with us, Mark. That's so sad that the long interview with your Dad is gone. His personality seems like it must have been so fun-loving. 🙃😉😃

So glad that you enjoyed my mom’s interview…my mom did a 2 hour interview in 2012 and she goes a lot more in depth of her childhood,her skating career,how she met my dad,his illness and other skaters…I’ll be posting that interview up soon 😃👍🏻

Really looking forward to that😊

Oh yes that’s right! Thanks for the correction…my dad did an interview after the end of the first half of that game. Here is the interview th-cam.com/video/8EOLsKWqzao/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Yk77pK-WLC1FPuGv

@@RollerDerbyMarkRoman I was also at the Long Island Arena in Commack for that LAST GAME EVER.

Wow that must have been so EPIC! That was when the Midwest Pioneers faced the NY Chiefs on December 9th 1973 right? Charlie O’Connell was on the Midwest Pioneers and he wore the #54…how was that game? Wild like to hear your insight on it and what you saw

I’ll be posting more and so glad that you enjoy my Roller Derby Chanel and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
