On Monday, students from Jackson Grammar School and Josiah Bartlett Elementary got to ride the Conway Scenic’s Valley Train, then re-enact at the North Conway station the arrival of the late Austrian skimeister Hannes Schneider and his family who were rescued from Nazi custody to come and teach skiing at Mount Cranmore 82 years ago.
