This thread is totally devoted to Anthony Barthell, and is intended to be an archive of his skating career - as well as a place to chat about his accomplishments and encourage him as he pursues his goals both on and off the ice.
If you have any articles, photos, links and news about Anthony (past or present), we'd love to see them!

Anthony is a Rocker Fund skater. His bio and donation info can be found on the following link: therockerfund.org/image-viewer.htm?gallery/Fgallery2-3.jpg ___________________________________________________________________________________________________  Anthony with 'Homie'. Homie has sadly gone on to that big hamster wheel in the sky, but he was a fun little mascot for Anthony that the fans immediately fell in love with. (... not as much as we all love Anthony, but Anthony isn't very fuzzy and furry, and I doubt he likes hamster wheels much - bicycles maybe - but not hamster wheels...) ;D  Anthony in the stands at American Cup I, 2008 |

Thank You Lori for this wonderful interview and sharing with everyone what we have come to know about Anthony. Nice as can be, a warm and friendly personality and a great sense of humor.
My first encounter with Anthony was checking into the Hilton Garden for WC 6 last year. He and Lori had made arrangements for fans to stay there, and having seen the hotel first hand before, I thought it was a smokin' deal for the money. Anthony was working the front desk when I checked in and gave me the nicest welcome I've ever had at a hotel. We chatted about the upcoming event and along with my card key, I left the front desk and strolled up to my room with a killer cookie in hand, hot from the oven. (There goes the diet...again...)
A credit to his profession, I really should write the management of the Hilton and let them know what a gem they have in their employ. (gotta put it on the 'to do' list....)
As completely clueless nyophytes, Anthony was also extremely helpful when we were setting up TRF and gave generously of his time and knowledge while we muddled through figuring out the best course of action to get the endeavor off the ground. We can't thank him enough for his help and insight.
I feel it's a priviledge to have met Anthony, and he's always a joy to talk to. I wish him every success, both on and off the ice.

Anthony said he's hanging up his skates - but he went out with a BANG at last month's National Championships in Wausau - he set numerous records in the Masters 30-39 age bracket!
We WILL be seeing Anthony in the coaching box in years to come. Sad to see you leaving competition, Anthony, but best of luck to you in your new role as 'Coach'!
