NATIONAL SKI PATROL Fra11.k Elkins. for many ma,iy year a sport reporter for the New Yo,·k Times and now for The Long Island Press, phoned me an hour age to remind me that today is a11 important anni e1· ary for some three or four or five or six million Americans. In March Nineteen Thirty-Eight, at Sto, e, Vermont, on Mt. Mansfield they were staging tl,e National Alpine Ski Races. For this occasion an ex-Yale athlete by the name of C Minot Dole, along with Roland Palmedo, Craig Burt, Ab Colman and several others, organized a patrol to look after an of the racers who were injured. They even ltad a doctor on hand, Hans Kraus an Austrian mountaineer si11ce famous for his rehabilitation ,oork. They did this so efficiently ~II that Roger La11gley at the time President of the Natio11al Ski Association, urged Mi1111ie Dole to Pllt together a natio11al organization; which he did, superbly. And 11010 there are some twenty-seven thousand member of The National Ski Patrol, well trained voli,,iteers, all compete,it skiers, wlro NATIONAL SKI PATROL - 2 patrol the hund1-eds of ski areas in this country. It began just thirty-Ji e years ago today. A vol11nteer, non-profit organization depending for its financial support on all of us who ski. •IH6Z«lCIIJZ«i~«JIJMl6N,XtJ6XlfllK GEORGETWON High in the Rockies at Georgetot n, Colorado - an hour from D e n er - the dedication of the new Eisenhower Memorial T11nnel.
