Fox and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the 7500 congratulatory letters that were delivered by a non-striking Canada Post to her Mom’s mailbox, her relationships with rivals Katarina Witt and Debbi Thomas, a life-changing interaction with Canadian Olympic Hockey Coach Dave King, chugging Labatt Blue beer to get through the post-competition drug testing, her interactions with Steve Yzerman/Brian Orser/Brian Boitano/Toller Cranston/Dorothy Hamill/Christopher Plummer/Gene Hackman, why the Girl with the Cowboy Hat is big in Asia, and how her Olympic skating outfit was so petite that it got mailed back to her in a regular-sized envelope!
