Hello, and welcome to the latest edition of SSS. On a quick note, following up on the recently held Nansen Ski Club Winter Carnival, I made mention last week that more detailed documentation of the history of the club was necessary. Without prior knowledge, Barbara Tetreault did one in the same edition of the paper, complete with a story of Alf Halvorson's contributions to the club and to skiing, along with numerous great pictures. Thanks, Barbara for taking care of that request so promptly.
Also, a large group of people got to celebrate the life of Ruby Brennan, first at the funeral home and then at a local restaurant to visit and reconnect with friends we haven't seen for a while. One of those friends was Josee Anctil Brennan, wife of Jim, one of Ruby's sons. Josee was on my track team at Berlin High, where her last two years there were my first two as the varsity coach, a career that spanned 17 years.
