(2)Many of the AOW Rinks Closing dates were not found and had to be calculated by using other means.
The way I did it was to create a chart using the AOW Ads in USARSA Nationals
from 1947 to 1971 that listed all of their rinks in operation at that time and then
after the merger in USFARS Nationals, 1972 to 1990.
This gives a reasonably accurate date as closed rinks would no longer be listed.
