I was one of a great many teens that frequented the Terrace Hill skating rink back in the day. Faye was always cheerful and polite and Vernon put up with a lot of our rowdy behavior. They gave a lot of young people a place to go where they were always welcomed. I still smile thinking about the memories from one of the few places in Hendersonville that represented good times.
