No Quitting

I met Dan Bulkley when he was 53 years old. I was dating his daughter and we were both teaching skiing at Mt Ashland in southern Oregon. Dan was the track and cross country running coach at Southern Oregon College and he was director of the PE ski program at the college. One day in May he said he was going for a run and did I want to go along. I was 23. In a short 5 mile run he pounded me into the pavement and I came limping home long after he did.br /br /I married his daughter, Dani and then really got to know Dan. Now, at age 92 he is my assistant when I go to West Yellowstone Ski Festival to represent SOLDA ski wax. He skis for a while then mans my table so that I can get in some skiing.br /br /Check out this article in the Ashland Daily Tidings from this year. There isn’t much snow around the Ashland area so Dan is out rollerskiing to stay ready for the next race.br /br /http://www.dailytidings.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100120/SPORTS/1200312br /br /Make the most of living if you’re not prepared to die.br /br /Bertdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589659500745667109-5670406519266805745?l=www.webskis.com%2Fwebskisblog.html’ alt=” //div
