pepsi-cola trophie

(32 km, 20 miles). The officials had
worked on the organization for months
only to find on the morning of the 19th
that an ice storm had spewn 2 inches or
more of ice over the entire course,
making it impossible to race. However
it wasn't all gloomy for the Grand Old
Man of skiing, Herman Smith Johannsen
alias "The Jackrabbit" came to visit as
the Club's guest, and though most of us
didn't know it, he was romping around
Camp Fortune talking to as many as he
could, and here is what he had to say
(quote) - "I am so glad I had that
good day at Camp Fortune, (Sat. 18th),
it was wonderful to see the Gatineau
Park and your Camp Fortune once again
(after 20 years). It is out of this world
and I admired everything I saw. Will you
please convey my thanks to the Ottawa
Ski Club for the very kind invitation.
I am sorry time did not permit me to
talk to more of your members." (end
of quote).
Cross Country racing in early spring
-47-
Well to end with a word about our
top cross country skier, Don MacLeod.
When you read this he will have wintered
in New Zealand (our summer) and gone
on to Sweden and joined a cross country
school to get some first hand experience
against world class skiers. Good luck
to him and good skiing to you all . . .
especially to two of our older Club
members who, spring skiing, had skiwacked
all day from Lac Philippe down
to their car at Kingsmere. Can you imagine
the situation in the cold hungry
darkness when one said to the other
"Say Mack, who left the blankety blank
ignition on?"
