He skied throughout Europe in the 1940's and 1950's including the Olympic villages in Innsbruck, Austria Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany - Lillehammer, Norway. While skiing in Lillehammer one winter season, he finished in 2nd place in the downhill competition. I treasure the stories of his adventures and his ski jacket is proudly displayed in my office!"
