Started skiing in 1960, stopped in 2015 (55 years) loved it and miss it!! Lots of stuff in between.

I was just OK at BGHS football and running the half mile in track but was league champion in wrestling. Post high school, I was better at judo 🥋 (USA & Korea) and skiing ⛷️ (CA, NV, CO, ID, OR, UT, WY, Canada & France ((Le Brevent & La Flegere )) but not anymore!! LOL 😆
