It is a tremendous honor to be considered in the same league as the likes of Byron and Vi who have given so much to this organization and to the Vail community for so many years.

Ski Club Vail did a great deal to help in the athletic and character development of my three children but most specifically my daughter, Tiffany. She left the Club to join the U.S. Ski Team at a very young age and that might not have happened had it not been for the dedication of the coaches and the mentoring of Chip Woods, the director at the time.

Volunteering for the club is an easy and enjoyable way for me to give back to the organization and to help the current roster of athletes pursue their dreams.

Honor is like a match, you can only use it once.

I'll use the cafeteria, too, your honor.

We would rather starve than sell our national honor
