An Early Hero December 28, 2015
Stein Eriksen – one of my role models in my early days of skiing – on the slopes of the local golf course, Oakley Country Club, Watertown, Mass.
Stein’s skiing was on much more challenging slopes in Norway.
His death has been announced at age 88.
Another Postcard From My Mother’s Archive February 8, 2011
Yesterday I showed postcards with red 2 cent postage stamps. Some of the stamps were of Thomas Jefferson, and others were of John Adams. It was Summer 1957. Now I have found a postcard from February 1958. Oh ho – there is a purple 3 cent stamp with the Statue of Liberty. The postcard was sent from Stowe Vermont. I must have been skiing between semesters. I report that the skiing is excellent – but for some reason (unstated) the legendary Ma Kelley, the Dean of Women at Middlebury, has 20 more gray hairs. Hmm, I wonder what that was all about.
