A long overdue thanks to an old friend

I worked at Schweitzer Mountain Resort as a maintenance supervisor from 1990 to 2001. One of my responsibilities was snow and ice removal for the safety of the village area.

In the winter, I would hire about 10 people who were willing to work hard in exchange for a small wage and ski pass. I was very fortunate to inherit one shoveler who was there before me. I knew Tom from around town since the 1970s, and I was happy to have him on my crew.
