The Skating Traversino Family
From a newspaper article, July 21, 1949

The caption:
"THE SKATING TRAVERSINO FAMILY - Shown above are the four members of the [Traversino] family who all take an active part in the Ice Classics" now showing at Agana. Above L to R: Marion, one of the show's soloists; her father Mark Travers, Sr., director of the ice show; her mother Mrs. Rosalie Travers; and her brother, Mark Travers Jr., skating comedian [sic]. Before signing up to make the Pacific tour with her parents, Marion skated in Sonja Henie's Hollywood Ice Revue. She has been skating professionally after switching from ballet dancing four years ago. Before forming the ice show in Califonia, Travers, Sr., managed an ice rink in Chicago. According to the rest of the family, Mrs. Travers, though not in the cast, is the busiest of all, looking after costumes and the family generally. The troupe makes its final appearance here tomorrow night before leaving for Manila. (Guam News Photo)"
