Trivia 2019 Week 18

I counted those quarters with Brian Lindner’s grandfather when i was a little kid in the 50’s-he had a ticket booth at the entrance to the parking lot & at nite we dumped them on his roll top desk where they lived behind what is now the ticket counters at the bottom of the Mt. that use to be Henry Simineu’s office -spelled his name wrong. Their home was the now ski patrol bldg. Our parents put his bro Brian &I in a play pen there while they went skiing. They had skins hanging on the wall & a wood cook stove. When i was 8, we started raceing &i won my 1st race on North slope on the rope tow behind their house. TMI but thought you’d find interesting. Brian’s dad Irwin parked the cars with my dad in those days. Jim Sheperd had the ski shop below where we got our equip incl ft long skis when i learned to walk back in single chair days with blankets!. My dad helped Charlie Lord build the original stone hut & then they hung at my parents ski lodge! Not sure when stopped but guessing did it till 1958!

I moved to Stowe in the 50’s and Claude Adams was the collector – 25 cents per car. He lived on Maple Street across from the Parsonage.
