My father recently passed away. Today I got a box of photos and mementos from the lawyer handling his estate. Included was a picture of my mother on skis, dated 1943.


Digging deeper, I found a photo album that includes pictures of her on skis in 41-42. She graduated from Waterbury Vt High School in 1944. Waterbury is where skiers got off the train if they were going to Stowe, and the town put up a couple of rope tows on local hills to drum up winter business for the tourist hotels.


Those are early days of American skiing - save those pics for sure. (And digitize)


and post in the private place
