Iâm beginning this week with some follow-ups on reader input from previous columns.
First, some comments I received on my guest column by the late Bill McCollom. In that column, Bill described participating in one of the last hike-to-ski downhill races in the Northeast, which was held on New Hampshireâs Mt. Tecumseh in 1961. I heard from Peter Penndorf that he had been in that race as well.
Bob Burley knew Bill McCollom as a âconsummate gentleman and intrepid competitor.â Their careers overlapped both as coaches for the Killington Ski Club and as masters racers. Bob also paid a great tribute to Bill by saying, âHe left every person, race and trail better for his presence.â
