 The legendary Roller Derby queen Ann Calvello lost her last battle to cancer. The ever colorful Ann was one of a kind and if you don't know much about her life check out the documentary "Demon of the Derby-The Ann Cavello Story." I called Miss Ann just last week to check up on her and her spirits were very low. She said she had been a fighter all her life but this was one fight she felt she couldn't win. May you forever rest in peace Annie. Thanks for all the good times you shared with us all.

Brother Love, This is so sad. I used to watch Ann skate it out with Joan Weston (RIP) when I was young! RIP | ||

If you say she was 1 of a kind, I truly believe you Brother Love. I have seen a few interviews with her. Her hair used to crack me up!! | ||

 Ann gets a mean block from Joanie Weston.  Ann returns the favor with another hard block.  Ann and Joanie try to out skate each other in a fast jam.  Ann on the bank track in her Midwest Pioneers uniform. |
