| Harold at Greek Peak |
About once a week I mange to play tennis in the morning and go skiing later in the day. Usually my skiing is an abbreviated day depending on the vigor of the hour and a half of tennis. Today during a lift ride I heard a story of a triple play by Tough Old Geezer Skier Harold. He told me of a day in January some years ago that he was able to ski in the morning, golf nine holes later and then go fishing later in the day. (Maybe I have the month wrong -It might have been one of those March thaw weeks.) That's a lot of activity for a geezer in one day. Proof of his fishing success came from a photo in his wallet of the magnificent Northern Pike that he netted. Many people carry pictures of grandchildren in their wallets but Harold is equally proud of the the trophy fish he has caught.

I asked him how long he had been skiing. He says he started out on barrel staves for skis at 8 years old. By that conjecture I measure 68 years of skiing for this 76 year old. Quite a record. I'll have to check out the rest of my geezer associates to see if any of them can top that record.
It was a great pleasure to converse with Harold and hear his stories. He is an exemplary 76 year old geezer skier, fisherman and golfer. Best wishes to him for continued success with the fishing gear, golf clubs, and skis.
